Top 5 Tips for a Flawless TV Wall Mount

Mounting a TV seems straightforward, but a professional installation is a science. It's the difference between a secure, perfectly placed screen and a potential disaster. Here are the five key things we consider for every installation.

1. Perfect Placement is Non-Negotiable

The most common mistake is mounting the TV too high, leading to neck strain. The ideal height places the center of the screen at eye-level when you're seated. We also assess the room for potential screen glare from windows and lights, ensuring your viewing experience is perfect at any time of day.

2. Structural Integrity is Everything

Modern TVs are light, but they still need a rock-solid anchor. Simply screwing a mount into plasterboard is a recipe for disaster. We use electronic stud finders to locate the wooden studs within your wall for the most secure attachment. For brick or concrete walls, we use specialized heavy-duty anchors to guarantee your investment is safe.

3. Choose the Right Mount for the Room

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. The right mount depends on your room's layout and how you use it.

• Fixed Mounts: Best for a clean, low-profile look where you'll always be sitting directly in front of the TV.
• Tilting Mounts: Essential for mounting above a fireplace, as it allows you to angle the screen down for comfortable viewing.
• Full-Motion Mounts: Perfect for open-plan living areas or tricky corners, allowing you to extend and swivel the TV to face different parts of the room.

4. Conceal Cables for a Professional Finish

Nothing ruins the look of a beautifully mounted TV more than a tangle of dangling cables. The mark of a true professional is invisible cable management. We can run cables behind the wall for the cleanest possible look or use discreet, paintable trunking that blends seamlessly with your wall.

5. Integrate All Your Devices

The job isn't finished when the TV is on the wall. We connect and configure all your devices—Soundbar, Sky box, Apple TV, gaming consoles—and tidy the cables at the source. We ensure everything works together seamlessly, often simplifying your setup so you can control it all from a single remote.
