Back Boxes

Surface Back Boxes and Cavity Back Boxes

Surface back boxes are electrical enclosures that are used to mount switches, sockets, and other electrical devices onto a wall or other surface. They are typically made from plastic or metal and are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different types of electrical fittings.

Surface back boxes are commonly used in situations where it is not possible or practical to install electrical devices into the wall cavity, such as in concrete or solid brick walls. They are also used in installations where the wall surface is uneven or irregular.

Cavity back boxes are electrical enclosures that are designed to be recessed into the wall cavity or plasterboard of a building. They are typically used to mount switches, sockets, and other electrical devices onto a wall, while keeping the devices flush with the surface.

Cavity back boxes are made from plastic or metal and are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different types of electrical fittings. They are designed to provide a neat and tidy installation for electrical devices, while also allowing for easy access to wiring and connections.
