flush-mounted
Flat against surface
Flush-mounted describes something installed so its surface sits level with the surrounding material rather than projecting outward.
The term applies to light fixtures recessed into ceilings, electrical outlets set into walls, or hardware that doesn't protrude: flush-mounted speakers, a flush-mounted medicine cabinet.
The goal is a smooth, uninterrupted surface.
