ELECTRICAL AND LOW VOLTAGE BOXES
In order to make all faceplates flush with the ELiTE CFS fabric surface, there must be a solid base for them to rest on, over
the stretched fabric. In most cases, the tallest edge of all junction boxes must be 1” to 1¹⁄₈” above the drywall surface. This should
be done as part of the standard room preparation for ELiTE CFS installation. Shown here are some examples of how junction
boxes and faceplates are handled for an ELiTE CFS installation.
