- I need help installing my TV?
Well, if this is the case, we hope this article will help you think about the options prior to wall mounting your new TV so you can create the best viewing angle and best finish for your room.
Although there are many self-help guides on TV Wall Mounting. Please be sure to consider the following first.
Things to think about
- The wall type in your home
- Location of the Television (TV)
- Nearest electrical point
- Cables / HDMI Leads / Power Leads
- Hiding Cables – Trunking/Burying cables within the wall.
- Suitable Bracket Choice (depending on weight of TV and the wall)
Questions you may have
What bracket should I get?
Getting the correct bracket is important and there are various options depending on where you would like your TV fitted and the viewing angle. It is important to get a bracket that will support your TV weight and the type of wall you are mounting it on.
We are happy to chat through options and can also provide a suitable bracket straight from our manufacturer saving you money. This will make sure the best quality bracket is used for wall mounting your television securely.
What is the best cable hiding ideas for your TV?
Reduce clutter even more by concealing TV cables neatly when wall mounting your TV. Here are a few options depending on your budget when thinking about hiding those unsightly cables.
TV Trunking - You can use a cable cover known as TV Trunking to conceal and protect the electrical cables and wires; this prevents accidental damage to the cables. Trunking is PVC, white and although visible it does give a discreet and tidy finish. It can also be painted over.
Channel out the Wall – Although more time consuming than trunking this option is to channel out the wall (if the wall is a solid wall) or we may be able to feed the cable up behind the wall depending on wall type. We do have a qualified electrician to help alongside with any installation if required.
Budget Option - Although the first two options give the neatest finish if your budget is low then Cable ties and Cable Clips at the back of your TV can help tidy up trailing cables. A cable management box can also be purchased to store the stray cords and hold an extension lead keeping plugs safe from pets and children.
