This television wall mounting job was for a customer who’d just moved into a new home on the Northern Beaches. They wanted their 55-inch Samsung on the wall, with no cables on show. Here’s how it came together, plus a few tips if you’re setting up a new place.
Television Wall Mounting in a New Northern Beaches Home
A new home is a great time to sort out the TV. The walls are usually clear, and there’s no old bracket or patched holes to work around. So the TV could go exactly where it suited the room, rather than where the last owners had it. As always, we chose the height together, with the customer sitting in their usual spot.
Hiding the Cables Inside a Timber-Framed Wall
The house had a timber frame with plasterboard over it. That means there’s a cavity inside the wall, so I could run the cables inside it, up to the TV. As a result, nothing hangs down below the screen, and the wall looks clean and tidy.
Brick walls are a different story, because there’s no cavity to work with. In that case, the cables usually go in a slim, paintable conduit instead.
A Universal Bracket Ready for Your Next TV
I supplied a universal wall bracket and fixed it into the timber studs. A universal bracket suits a wide range of TVs. So it should take most future TVs too, as long as the new TV’s VESA mounting holes and weight fit the bracket. That means if the family upgrades in a few years, the bracket can usually stay on the wall.
Moving Into a New Home? Tips for Television Wall Mounting
- Decide where the TV goes before the furniture arrives, so the unit and couch line up with it.
- Check there’s a power point near the TV spot. If there isn’t, a licensed electrician can add one before the TV goes up.
- Think about where your Foxtel box, soundbar or other gear will sit, so the cables have somewhere to go.
- Leave the new TV in its box. I’ll unpack it and set it up properly.
