is this model flat, on the back side or does it need a box to stick into? I need to surface mount this on a hard wall I cannot cut and do not have space to add a box.

It needs a wall box. Pretty much like wiring in a light switch or receptacle.

This model is " almost" flat, but need small space to connect wire. There is 4 wire, if You have to connect 2, still needs space.

It protrudes about 7/8" behind the mounting plane. And there are four heavy wires that must be attached to the line and load circuits with wire nuts. In short, it really needs to be mounted in a standard electric box. Mine is mounted in a 2" deep, plastic box and there is just about enough room for the rear of the thermostat and connections in there.

You need an electrical box - part of the unit sticks out the back so the box is needed to accept.

I actually have it surface mounted and not recessed into the wall. Looks great in my opinion. My Wife thinks so as well. I think it is intended to be surface mounted, which is why I chose it. Hope that helps.

The back is not flush. There are protrusions around the mounting holes to hold the body of the box away from the wall it's mounted to, to prevent rain from building up. You could probably grind off those protrusions, though - it's just plastic.

Hello, The sticky surface could lay flat. The cardboard panels fold into a 4 sided box about 2x2x6" that is opened on either end. A removable layer exposes the sticky surface. They are sticky and verge on gooey.

It can be either surface mounted or recessed into the wall. If you want it recessed, you might have to put some more work into installing it. We had to cut out some drywall and all since our old one was surface mounted!

Yes, it comes flat, but all u do is unfold it a little and it shapes up into the rectangular box shape. Then simply fit the silver covering over it. Then place it above the attic door. I though it looked flimsy too at first, we we have been using this over a year and it has made a big difference in temperature of our garage coverted room. We move it to the side to get things in and out of the attic and it still looks new. Hope this helps.

Yes, I am sure you can mount this model on the flat wall, but it may stick out further from the wall than a simple wall mount. Note you can make adjustment of the mount plates so that you catch two studs and achieve a secure mount.

I recessed it - although it is designed to be surface mounted. I put it about 3.75 to 4" into the wall, and just the mirrors and hinges are on the outside. I think it would be a little boxy if it were surface mounted. White MDF.

I believe it came in flat box. Directions not sure of my son put it together didn't mention having any problems getting it together. And it's very pretty

The description seems to imply both but the box only includes directions for recessed mounting. We did end up surface mounting by simply drilling threw the back panel. It's holding up so far.

This map was delivered in 3 sheets and is made to mount to a flat hard surface - like wallpaper. If you want to frame it you will need to first mount the map onto a very large flat board or boards. Then these boards will have to be laid up next to each other and bonded. I think you could use crown molding to frame it but you may have to do something to keep the boards the map is mounted to from sagging outward. Consult a professional framer and see how they would do this.

Not sure it says to mount on a flat surface but it has many holes for mounting so if you were to use stone type anchors it is a very durable mount and have been very impressed with this product.

The one I purchased has about a 1" wide flat area on top, but be advised there are four screw heads protruding from that surface, so if you're thinking of surface mounting it instead of hanging it, you will need to drill relief spots where those screws are located. It looks like it was not intended for surface mounting. And don't plug it into a GFCI circuit as it will trip the GFCI when you turn it on.

It must be mounted on a flat surface into a wall stud. With the moving arm it can be mounted close to the corner.

The edges fold around and around again to make a rigid box shape (a U shape on each vertical edge). If it were flat, it would be flimsy and you couldn't put hooks thru it. However this edges are about 3/4" wide and if you use good quality double sided mounting tape, it should hold just fine. Better still, just put a couple of screws in it. It is no big deal to do and that way you can be sure it won't fall down.

Yes, it is designed to be a flush mount (inside the wall). The box that sits inside the wall is about 8" w x 14" h. You CAN buy a surface mount kit as well - Dimplex #TWHSBW
