Can you install the lighting switches for kitchen lighting, outdoor lighting, etc. under the kitchen cabinets?
Can you install the lighting switches for kitchen lighting, outdoor lighting, etc. under the kitchen cabinets?
Because the designer of the kitchen wants everything hidden. You would have to reach around the first cabinet coining from the exterior door to turn the switches on/off. Im looking for an answer to tell her why it cant/shouldnt be done.
So, because it's stupid to hide controls for things is not a viable answer?
Remember, the Code is not a design manual and is a bare minimum standard.
I am glad this designer doesn't design cars or tools.
Maybe he designs hood latches.

You mean under the wall hung cabinets, right?
On first read I thought you mean inside the cabinets.
On second read I thought you meant behind the kickplate on the floor.
On third read I see it says "under the kitchen cabinets"...
And that's all the reading I'm going to do!

I am working on a million dollar home with designers from NYC. Almost all light fixtures on the interior are surface mounted and they are calling for porcelain (Keyless) with silver crowned bulbs... LOL Put one in and the owner said it doesn't light up anything but a small spot on the ceiling--- Yep. So we put in regular A19 bulbs.
The kitchen cabinets are made out of plywood-- not birch plywood or oak plywood, etc, Plywood. Even the countertops are plywood--- It is a big turn from what we are used to doing. They are going for the unfinished look for sure
