Kora Founders Edition Install 1.5 | Flush-Mount Recess and Backing

For a clean indoor look, flush mount the Smart Panel into the wall. Flush mounting is indoor only, and the exterior shell isn't used.

Frame the opening between the studs and add solid wood blocking so the wall can carry the panel's weight.

Key steps

• Create a recess for the panel between the wall studs
• Add solid wood blocking to support the panel's weight
• Check the cavity depth before the main assembly goes in
