I'm in the process of installing the back boxes in new stud walls with rigid insulation in between the battens. I'm looking to install faceplates which aren't white - stainless steel etc, so I'm concerned that if I use the dry wall boxes, there will be a white plastic rim around these faceplates which will look out of place - I'm not intending to skim the walls (only filler in the joints)
The solution might be the metal back boxes, but I'm not sure screwing this into the insulation is secure enough - would I be able to silicon these onto the board instead of the screws?
