How to Wall Mount a Tv on ANY TYPE OF WALL - Complete DIY Guide

What other everyday tasks do you guys want to see?

Thanks for this.
I thought the outer wall of the 2004 property i live in, would be solid.
Glad i watched this as it does make a similar sound to the internal walls and is a bit hollow.
Unsure what to use now as cant tell what kind of wall it is.

How can I mount tv on insulated panel

What difference does it make if it's dot and dab or hollow stud wall if you're not mounting onto the dab or stud? Genuine question. Thanks.

How can you tell if a wall is dot and dab or plasterboard stud? Its an interior wall of a flat that sounds very hollow, makes me believe its plasterboard but not 100%

Would those hollow wall fixings be okay for a 50” tv that weighs about 18kg?

what about uneven walls?

Have a look at an rs unifix gun they are brilliant

What would you use to attach a TV bracket to insulated plasterboard? The corefix fittings can only span a 45mm gap between tv mount and masonry which is too short.

Great advice , clearly explained. Many thanks.

Brillant video 👌

Great tips, thanks

What fixings do you need if you're mounting directly onto a stud?

What size tv will the hollow wall anchors support?

Thanks for the upload

Come to see a man fix a TV to a stud wall

But the man in the video completely ignored the stud and went into the plaster board instead 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

not helpful

So how do i know if im driling into the stud or just the wall😅 i dont think you showed that without using the detector....

Excellent video thank you. I’m about to fix a tv to my 200 year old stone built terrace house 🙈 which fixing would you recommend?

The Australian accent made me trust him even more 😂💯

I actually have a question about something since I was just wondering myself and it's also something that I always seem to notice whenever people have their TVs mounted to the wall too. Usually, most TVs have inputs on either the back or the side of the TV, such as HDMI ports, USB ports, and a headphone jack port for headphones, and normally if anything is ever plugged in those ports, the cords and wires would be running down from the TV that way. However, I notice that when a lot of people have their TVs mounted to the wall, I usually don't see any wires or cords running down along the wall from the TVs. How exactly do people have devices plugged into the TVs without the cords running down like that? I was just curious myself since I just thought of asking.

I am trying to hang a 48" 15Kg OLED TV using a Perlesmith mount onto a chimney breast. It appears to be solid plaster (I could drill it without hammer action, and there was no "jump" indicating I went through a void). What fixings are best for this? You don't seem to cover it in your video so I thought it would be best to ask. It comes with 10mm concrete fixings which I don't think would be good for solid plaster.

I've learned a lot from this channel,I have a side hustle doing things learned from you.

great

What happens when you start drilling only to discover you have doubled up plasterboard?! Do you just proceed as if it’s a solid wall? Or use long wall plugs that bunch up beyond the extra thick plasterboard? (Send help…!)

Excellent, many thanks!

Love watching your videos, I’m building a 6 metre x 5 metre pool room soon 👍

Good video but 8 bolts in a solid wall seems way OTT. 4 would be plenty for a big TV.

I don't think this guy could try any harder to show of his tats, it's so off putting when people do that

I think eight 8x50 coach bolts is overkill for a solid wall. No? A 65" telly is probably less than 20kg.

You can hang a standard 600x720 kitchen wall unit with door and fill it with 10kg of food on just four 4x30 screws without it budging. Total weight would be around 20-25kg.

The trick is to slightly undersize the drilled hole so the plug is really tight in there before the screw goes in. Another benefit is you wouldn't need an SDS drill for smaller holes.

Edit: I appreciate there's more of a pivot point stress with a telly compared to a kitchen wall unit, but still...

Excellent tutorial. Nobody wants a telly flying off the wall during the world cup final. Still don't understand why some people have it set so high up (except maybe in bedrooms and kitchens).

The centre of the screen should be horizontal with your eye-line. Unless you watch TV standing up, it doesn't make sense to have it closer to the ceiling than the floor.

If it's too high up and you're sitting down and the ceiling lights are on, you're likely to get a lot of glare off the screen, especially if the ceiling lights are spots or down-lights.

I think it became fashionable to put the TV up really high, because that's how pubs did it. It's not an ideal situation for domestic installations though.

Am a handyman. The problem I have is I don't know how to charge for the tv mount installation. How does the cost work out diyman? Any guidance??

I’m normally pretty good at picking people’s accents but you’ve done me!!!!
Where does it come from?

Dude you are an absolute legend! Thanks to you I have saved more than 10k in hiring people!

Great video. Only thing I would say is for plastic plugs you should not really use those kinds of gold self cutting screws as they are very prone to strip the inside of the plug. Use less aggressive silver screws.

for a fixed bracket flush to wall with plugs behind as you showed do you recommend a bracket to give abit of clearance opposed to wires hanging down?

The only thing I’d add would be to drill a slightly smaller (pilot) hole in case the plaster etc crumbles away.

You then simply ream out to the size required, but great job though.

I am fond of installing a Smart two-way switch for downlight (with and without neutral wire), can you demonstrate the wiring and the issue with the neutral wire?

Thanks for the video. Excellent.
One of the things people do incorrectly when putting a TV on a wall is to mount it too high.
For the best picture quality your eyes should be close to the same height as the centre of the screen as possible.
If you have to mount it high, it’s important to use a bracket where the TV can be tilted down

Where’s the link in the description to your video of the plasterboard fixings test?

Great content as always! As someone living in a victorian house, I often drill into a solid brick wall but because the bricks and mortar are old, they will often crumble, or the drill will shoot off to a side because it hits a small stone in the mortar etc. I then need to select a new location and patch that hole, or my hole will be too big for the fixing because it crumbled. Very annoying. Do you have any tips on how to avoid this/ work around this?

Hi, great video as always! Why do you need a different wall plug for dot and dab and a solid wall? Isn't it effectively the same thing? Thanks.

Another great video mate 👍 any advice on how to remove those hollow wall anchors or ways to hide them if no longer required? Keep up with your great work and take care 👍

Another great tip.

Super stuff as always Cameron, nice and thorough, but not confusing.....Any wall type you say, try slapping a bracket on the wall of The Kremlin, 5 mins later you will be making a very long journey to Siberia :)

Great tutorial
