Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Recessed blocks sit flatter than surface-mount blocks, so they are the better choice where a clean, flush fixture line matters. Verify the fixture back plate covers the block opening before ordering, and confirm the siding gauge falls on the .625 in. or .875 in. locking position. Seal the fixture perimeter after mounting to keep water out of the wall.

Ensure electrical fixtures mounted in the block are wired per local electrical code and sealed against water intrusion.
