Most spaces are suitable for a regular-sized world wall map with a width of approximately 214 cm (7' 0.25'') and a height of approximately 117 cm (3' 10''). However, some are privileged to have large walls where they can install a truly expansive world map, one that nearly spans the entire wall. At MapaWall, they craft these magnificent world maps from a variety of materials. What's more, they ship them worldwide via UPS, making them practically available for everyone. This post focuses on one of these remarkable world maps: the StoneCut Hawksbill Brown XL, installed in Spain.
Giant world maps can add a stylish touch to any space, whether it's an office or a private residence. A large map, like the one in this example, creates a striking impression on visitors as they enter the room, especially in case of this hallway. The larger-sized MapaWalls span almost 3 meters in width, approximately 10 feet, and stand at 160 cm (5' 1'') in height. As you can see from the photos in this post, these XL maps really set a new standard in size. However, it's not just the map itself that's massive; the included templates are also substantial. Two giant rolls of 1-meter-wide paper come with the map, along with all the necessary materials for easy wall mounting. Given that these XL maps are shipped worldwide, it's no surprise that the packaging is also sizeable. Whether the maps are crafted from wood, stone, or steel, the dimensions of the XL packages remain consistent. These dimensions are close to the maximum limit for shipping via UPS Capital (insured shipping).
For some of you, StoneCut maps might be a new concept. Let me explain: StoneCut world maps feature a wooden base with a thin layer of real stone on top. These stone layers come in various types, including slate, limestone, quartz, and the brown marble from this example. While marble is often associated with polished finishes, the marble used for this world map is of a brown variety. Traditionally, stone can only be cut using a CNC router. However, this company has developed a groundbreaking method of laser cutting, which remains somewhat of a secret. This innovative approach allows them to cut through various thicknesses of stone, resulting in the most stunning world maps available on the market.
