*Always follow your local electrical and building codes. Some areas will allow a 1/4" gap in between your electrical box and finished surface if your wall surface is non-combustible. For combustible walls like wood or for fire-rated walls no gap is allowed. No gap is the best solution to eliminate air-loss on exterior walls, winterizing your home and for soundproofing.
Please follow your local building codes, electrical codes and proper safety measures when working on your home or undertaking any DIY project. When in doubt, hire a licensed electrician. Always turn power off at breaker and double check using a voltage test before undertaking electrical work. Use manufacturer's recommendations when installing all home improvement related products.
