Recessed Wall Boxes: The Sleek Solution for Modern AV Installations
Cable clutter is one of the great annoyances of modern living. In today’s home, where there’s a device for every room, smart TVs with extra cabling, 20 different charger types, plus all the other clutter that goes with life, it can be hard to keep an organised and tidy space.
Luckily, there is one major thing you can do to restore order and reduce the mess.
Recessed wall boxes are the ultimate solution for hiding cables and achieving a chaos-free home that’s a calm respite from the busyness of everyday life.
The Cable Clutter Problem
Messy cables are not only frustrating and unattractive but can also pose a safety risk for pets and small children. Exposed wires are easy to trip on and pull at and can be quite tempting for a dog that loves to chew!
Recessed wall boxes, like our flagship Built Boards recessed AV box, solve this problem by neatly concealing cables and connections within the wall, ensuring both safety and clutter-free calm.
What Are Recessed Wall Boxes?
Recessed wall boxes are flush-mounted enclosures designed to sit inside your wall cavity. They allow items like TVs to be mounted flat against the wall and offer room for power outlets, AV connections, and cable management systems. By removing visual clutter, these boxes enable a smooth transition of technology into your house.
