Yes, your new TV can be mounted on any type of wall – if done properly!
Wall-mounting your TV is a smart way to elevate your viewing experience, free up space, and achieve a clean, modern look in your home. But while most TVs can be mounted on just about any type of wall, how it’s mounted makes all the difference.
The common wall types in Australia are:
- Gyprock
- brick
- concrete
- plaster
- metal studs
Each wall type requires a different approach, utilising specific tools, techniques, and fixings – and that’s where Peter can help!
When you hire a specialist TV installer like Peter, you’re not just getting a bracket on a wall. You’re getting years of experience, precision, and a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver a secure, safe and flawless installation. No matter the surface.
TV wall mounting on Gyprock walls (plasterboard)
Gyprock is common in most modern homes and is suitable for wall mounting – if you know where to drill! The key to success is anchoring the bracket into wall studs for proper support.
Without expert knowledge, it’s easy to miss the studs or use the wrong fixings, which can lead to loose fittings or even wall damage over time.
Peter uses specific tools and expert installation installation techniques to ensure your TV stays firmly in place and perfectly aligned.
TV wall mounting on brick or concrete walls
Brick and concrete walls are extremely solid and ideal for supporting heavier TV screens. It is important, however, that they are installed using the correct masonry anchors and equipment. This type of installation requires more than a drill and some screws!
Peter has the correct tools and experience to cleanly drill into masonry, select the appropriate fixings, and ensure a secure and solid result with no mess and no stress.
TV wall mounting on plaster walls
Plaster walls, especially in older homes, can be delicate. Mounting a TV securely without cracking or damaging the surface demands a gentle but precise approach.
Peter takes the time to locate proper reinforcements, apply protective measures, and install your TV with care to ensure he delivers a secure and clean result whilst preserving the integrity of the wall.
TV wall mounting on metal or steel stud walls
TV installation on metal studs requires specialty hardware, such as toggle bolts or anchors designed specifically for steel framing. It’s a common challenge that catches many DIYers off guard.
Peter’s expertise ensures the weight of your TV is distributed correctly, and that the right hardware is used for a stable, long-lasting mount.
Take care when you apply a DIY approach to TV wall mounting.
Wall mounting a TV may look simple, but behind the scenes it requires technical know-how, building knowledge, and an eye for detail. Without the right skills, things can go wrong. Problems include misaligned brackets, unsafe mounting, visible cables, or even wall damage.
