How do you install wainscot around electrical outlets? How do you cut it out so it fits the outlet?

Answer 1

You both measure to determine the location of the outlet relative to the particular piece of wainscot it will be in (mark on the back of the sheet) and visually line it up. Then use your tool of choice to cut. Remember that you only need to cut a rectangle large enough to fit around the inner box, but small enough that there are no gaps around the cover.
