Why Professional TV Mounting Matters
Our professional and experienced Gordon's Bay handyman team installers install TVs on all wall types safely and securely. Professional TV mounting is essential because incorrectly mounted TVs fall causing thousands in damage and serious injuries especially to children, DIY installations often use wrong wall fixings that pull out under the TV weight, poor positioning causes neck strain and viewing discomfort, visible cables look messy and unprofessional, and drilling in wrong places can hit electrical wiring or plumbing in walls. Modern large screen TVs are expensive investments requiring secure, professional mounting for safety and optimal viewing. Insurance may not cover damage from improper DIY installation.
TV Mounting Considerations
Successful TV mounting requires understanding multiple factors including the TV size and weight determining bracket requirements, wall type dictating what fixings can be used safely, viewing distance and height for comfortable watching without neck strain, cable routing to hide all wires professionally, stud locations in drywall for secure mounting, and whether you want fixed, tilting, or full-motion articulating brackets. We assess all these factors to provide perfect installations that look professional and last indefinitely. The most common mistake is mounting TVs too high - eye level when seated is the ideal viewing height.

Wall Types and Mounting Solutions
We mount TVs on all wall types using appropriate methods. Solid brick and concrete walls are ideal - we drill and use masonry anchors for extremely secure mounting. Cavity brick walls require special cavity fixings or mounting to the inner brick skin. Drywall and rhinoboard require locating studs for secure mounting or using specialized heavy-duty drywall anchors rated for the TV weight. We never trust drywall anchors alone for large TVs - we always mount to studs where possible. Tiled walls need careful drilling to avoid cracking tiles. Glass walls and feature walls require specialty mounting solutions we can advise on. We also offer ceiling mounting for projectors and special applications, soundbar installation alongside your TV, and can install TV points and electrical outlets in the perfect positions before mounting.
