What are the types of outlets, and where should they be placed?

There are two types of outlets currently available: the round supply outlet and the slotted outlet. Ideally, the outlets should be located in the ceiling 5-inches from the wall or corner. If conditions prohibit this, they can be placed in the floor or sidewall. Both round and slotted outlets come in a variety of colors and woods which can be stained to match a wood floor.
