WHAT IS “WALL ACNE”? (AND WHY YOU SHOULD CLEAR IT UP)

We all want our homes to be "smarter." We'd love to walk into a room and effortlessly dim the lights, turn on the music, adjust the shades, turn up the heat—and even make a movie screen descend from the ceiling, all with the touch of a button. The more smart features we add to a space, however, the more challenging it is to seamlessly integrate all our high-tech devices — and make sure they're not an eyesore.

Devices require power outlets, keypads, switches, data jacks, dimmers, touch panels, and more all around our home. Most often, they need to be in less-than-ideal spots, usually in our direct line-of-sight. Typical electrical outlets and light switch covers will interrupt a room's design flow and create unsightly bumps, A.K.A. "wall acne."

To further complicate the issue, you may find decorative hardware that you like, but chances are it won't be compatible with devices from different manufacturers.

WE MAKE FUNCTIONALITY BEAUTIFUL

Our team at Echo Workshop combines a well-thought-out plan with the right tools to overcome these challenges. We specialize in making functionality beautiful. Trufig systems are our secret weapon because they can power up all types of electronic and high-tech devices, invisibly.

Once your wall acne clears up, your interiors will be perfectly smooth—and your space will feel instantly upgraded. Your furnishings and artwork will suddenly pop against a seamless backdrop.

HOW TRUFIG SYSTEMS WORK

Trufig solutions work for any type of space, from an ultra-modern, minimalist look to more contemporary, or even rustic. Trufig specially designed receptacle boxes are installed directly into walls or other structures.

The fascias (thin faceplate covers) are key to combining functionality with style. When placed over the outside of the electrical boxes, the fascias sit perfectly flush against any surface. The fascia plates can be custom-designed whether painted, laminated, or covered with wallpaper. Any pattern can be replicated in a decoration—to look identical to stone, wood, marble, tile, or Venetian plaster.

A STYLISH SOLUTION FOR MULTIPLE DEVICES

More than just decorative hardware, Trufig systems consist of electrical boxes with several parts. The mounting platform is made of engineered drywall, fitted with electrical enclosures. Trim components attach to the mounting platforms and can accommodate multiple devices, side-by-side. Your devices can even be from different manufacturers.

Trufig outer fascia plates are magnetic and cover the exterior of the mounting platform. Once decorated to match the surrounding area, the fascia plate seems to disappear—to look like a natural part of the structure.

Trufig systems aren't only for walls—they're for ceilings, floors, countertops, or anywhere a device will need power. They are also for installing a control pad, or an iPad, on any wall or surface.
