Mounting your TV on the wall not only saves space but also keeps unsightly cables out of sight. It provides a safer setup, reducing the risk of children or pets accidentally knocking over or damaging the TV.
We can supply a high-quality wall bracket and securely mount your TV using the appropriate fixings for your specific wall and property, ensuring a sturdy and professional installation.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Choose the Right Mount
Select a wall mount compatible with your TV size and weight.
Decide on a fixed, tilting, or full-motion bracket.
Find the Right Wall Location
Consider viewing height—eye level when seated is ideal.
Locate wall studs using a stud finder (for drywall installations) or ensure the wall can support the weight (brick, concrete, etc.).
Mark Drill Points
Hold the wall mount against the wall and mark the screw hole locations with a pencil.
Use a level to ensure it's perfectly straight.
Drill the Holes
Drill pilot holes into the marked spots.
If mounting on drywall, use heavy-duty wall anchors if studs aren’t available.
Attach the Mounting Bracket
Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws and bolts.
Double-check that it is firmly fixed and level.
Attach the Mounting Plate to the TV
Secure the bracket arms or plate to the back of the TV using the screws provided.
Ensure the screws fit correctly without damaging the TV.
Mount the TV on the Wall
Carefully lift the TV and hook it onto the mounted bracket.
Secure any safety locks or additional fasteners.
Manage Cables & Final Adjustments
Connect power and HDMI cables.
Use a cable management system to keep cords tidy.
Adjust the TV’s tilt or angle if applicable.

Wall mounting a TV requires a combination of technical expertise, precision, and basic handyman skills. First, a solid understanding of wall types (plasterboard, concrete, or brick) is essential to choose the right anchors and mounting hardware. The ability to use tools such as a drill, level, stud finder, and screwdriver is also necessary to ensure a secure and level installation. Additionally, knowledge of weight limits and VESA mounting standards helps in selecting a compatible mount for the TV. Electrical awareness is beneficial, especially if hiding cables behind the wall or working near power outlets. Finally, a keen eye for aesthetics and positioning ensures the TV is placed at an optimal viewing height for comfort and minimal glare.
