Drywall over wood studs
The most forgiving surface. We locate studs, anchor lag bolts directly into framing, and use the stud layout to plan the final screen position. In-wall cable routing is usually straightforward here.
Wall types
Every wall needs different hardware
Tell the assistant what your wall is made of and we bring the right anchors — or we assess it on site before drilling.
Drywall over metal studs
Common in condos and offices. Metal framing needs specific toggle-style or strap-toggle hardware rated for the screen and bracket; we never rely on plain drywall anchors for a TV.
Concrete and CMU block
Very common in South Florida exterior and demising walls. We drill with masonry bits and use sleeve or wedge anchors sized for the load. Cables are typically run in a paintable surface raceway rather than inside the wall.
Stucco and exterior walls
For patios and outdoor kitchens we anchor into the structural substrate behind the stucco and seal penetrations, and recommend outdoor-rated mounts and covers.
Brick and natural stone
Anchoring into brick body or stone (not soft mortar joints where possible) with masonry hardware. Stone veneer requires checking what sits behind it before drilling.
Tile, plywood backing and accent walls
Tile is drilled slowly with the right bit to avoid cracking. Plywood-backed feature walls and slat walls are excellent for mounting once we confirm how the backing is fastened to framing.
Not sure what's behind your drywall? That's what the wall and fixture assessment is for — we scan and evaluate before any hole is made.
Unusual wall? We'll assess it first.
Book an assessment through the assistant and we'll confirm the safest mounting approach.
