When fabricating a fixture along a wall, what should the site be checked for?

When fabricating a fixture along a wall, checking the straightness of the wall is essential to ensure that the fixture can be properly aligned and securely mounted. A straight wall provides an accurate reference point for installation, which is crucial for maintaining the intended aesthetics and functionality of the fixture. If the wall is not straight, it can lead to issues such as uneven spacing, improper support, or installation challenges that could compromise the fixture's integrity and usability.

While the other aspects, such as wall color and texture, material compatibility, and the position of existing fixtures, can influence the overall design and installation process, they do not directly impact the structural integrity and alignment of the fixture to the wall as straightness does. Ensuring that a wall is straight helps to facilitate a smoother installation process and reduces the need for additional adjustments or modifications after installation.
