nonrecessed

Not set back

Nonrecessed describes something that is not set back into a surface or wall.

A nonrecessed light fixture mounts flush or projects outward rather than being installed within a cavity: The nonrecessed panels were easier to install but stuck out from the ceiling.

The term appears mainly in technical and construction contexts.
