I would ask how often you need to access that junction box for
maintenance etc. Mine are all accessible in terms of the regs, and my
answer is never.


There is that, especially as I intend to screw any floorboards back into
place.


But, by the time carpet is placed on top, while it may be deemed
accessible it really is going to be join and forget.



IIRC, a junction box under floor boards is deemed accessible. One
plastered into a wall, not.
