My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Outlets in a 3 cm thick backsplash.

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

When doing the backsplash the same as the counter, my fabricator is making the countertop 26” deep to offset a bit of the counter being taken up by the 3cm quartzite backsplash (same material as counter). They don’t make it skinnier so is there an outlet expander or something like that so the outlet is affixed on the backsplash? I don’t want under cabinet outlets.

    Yes, there are commercially available “extenders” for situations like yours.
