TV Wall Bracket

[Jupiter01]

I’ve got two TVs to hang on wall and previously I’ve ordered brackets from Amazon but this has meant the tv sticks out quite a bit.

I notice that flush brackets are also available. Can someone please advise on their suitability and recommend one that they’ve used please?

Thanks in advance

They are suitable. Have never used one.

I got one from Screwfix for my 40" Sammy.

Easy to fit, built-in level. Basically you screw one bit to the wall and the other to the TV. Once the TV is hung on the wall bracket you can lock it so they will not come apart. But there is a sliding adjustment if you are not dead centre.

All the flush ones are pretty much alike. Most are cheap as chips as well, so you're not looking at Rolls Royce engineering standards, but they get the job done.

I suppose the only thing to be aware of is how far plugs and cables stick out from the wall. With a flush bracket you have very little room behind to cope with a mains plug or aerial cable standing proud from the wall.

How do they cope with a tilt on the TV or is this not possible?
Also, what happens if I have sockets for HDMI, etc at the back of the TV (as oppose to the side)? I need to check if this is the case.

I've found this, which will support my 65" TV and states that it will have the TV 34mm away from the wall.

Is that a decently low distance?

Looks ok
You can get either hdmi leads with a cranked end, or right angle adaptors.
Or screw a bit of ply to the wall first as an offset - some bracket kits come with loads of screws and spacers that you could use

 

[securespark]

Yes, sorry. I meant to mention it was a little tight behind (ooh err missus!) but as Tiger says, a bit of ply or spacers will sort that out.

Hi all,

I wanted to mount my TV as well. This is a dot and dab plasterboard wall with grey breeze or thermal block behind it.

Will this fixing be perfect for the job or i need something else?.

Yeah, they'll be fine, as long as it isn't a cantilever bracket.

If, where you drill, it's hollow because there isn't an adhesive dot right there, then screw the screw in by hand rather than using a drill. Don't overtighten it, or the board will start to pull into the gap and possibly crack.

I drilled a pilot hole (with a wood drill bit) through the plasterboard thinking that the drill will stop once it hits the block behind so I can use proper masonry drill for the block behind.

The wood drill bit just continued drilling all the way through (plasterboard & wall behind) without any major resistance! I was not expecting that!. Is it possible to have such soft wall behind a dot & dab wall?

The wall on the opposite side of the house in the kitchen (which is a party wall) was not like that because i do remember putting the cooker hood up a couple of years ago and that almost wore my drill bit out.

Yes, thermalite blocks are very soft to drill into.

Your other wall must be this type of block, they have a much more textured surface...

...and try to make the drill bit wander off-line

 

[cooa99]

Thanks.

Does that mean that i cant hang a tv on the thermalite or need different fixings?

 

[rsgaz]

It'll be fine still. Just tighten the screws by hand, so that you don't overtighten them.

Frame fixings are totally useless in thermalite block , you might as well stick it up with chewing gum.
If you have thermalite you will need Fischer twisted nylon fixings.
