15 Jan Why Professional TV Wall Mounting Beats the DIY Approach
Modern televisions are getting bigger, thinner, and—unfortunately—easier to break. While the “DIY” spirit is strong in many of us, wall-mounting a 65-inch OLED TV is a task fraught with risks. It isn’t just about making sure the screen is level; it’s about making sure it stays on the wall.
The houses across the Fylde vary wildly in construction. You might have the solid brick walls of a Victorian terrace in Fleetwood or the modern stud-partition walls of a new build in Cottam. Each requires a different type of fixing and a different weight-bearing calculation. A mistake here doesn’t just result in a wonky TV; it can result in a shattered screen and a damaged wall.
Beyond the safety aspect, there is the “finish.” Nothing ruins the look of a sleek new TV more than a “spaghetti” of black cables hanging down to the floor. A professional installation from Fylde Aerials includes cable management solutions that hide those unsightly wires, either through neat trunking or, where possible, chasing them into the wall for a “floating” effect.
We also consider the viewing angle and height—the “Couch Ergonomics.” Mounting a TV too high (the classic “above the fireplace” mistake) can lead to neck strain. Our engineers work with you to find the perfect height for comfortable viewing, ensuring your home cinema looks as good as it performs.
