Mounting a tv to a plastered wall

Question

Is it possible to mount a tv on to a plastered wall ?

Anthony · Accepted Answer

Need to Find a stud to make it secure. (Plaster walls are not the most ideal material for mounting a television too however it can still be done with care. Never mount an articulating Mount onto plaster walls please it is not safe and if anyone tells you otherwise then they, in all honesty, should not be mounting your TV to a plaster wall or any other wall for that matter)

Richard · Answer

Yes, but ensure that you don't hit any pipes or cables and you need the right fixings for the construction of your walls. Plaster is just a finish. It's what's behind the plaster that matters.

Graham · Answer

drill wall with a masonary bit and use brown rawlplugs

Ryan · Answer

Use the right fixing and make sure the wall isn’t damp and won't ever get damp.

Hi, yes it is possible to mount a TV on a plaster board wall by using plaster board toggle fixings which you can buy from screwfix, Remember it is always best to try and catch a stud if you can.

Justin · Answer

Yes it is possible using the large spring toggle, I have installed many flat screen TVs using 4 of these per bracket.

Rod · Answer

Yes using special plastered board fixings if the TV is a light weight model, and the wall is double skinned, (meaning two layers of plaster board thick in depth) otherwise you will need to find the timber frame points behind the plaster board to secure it to.

Thanks for asking spring toggle bolt it. You can find a stud but never use raw plugs on plasterboard

Matthew · Answer

Easily done, but the correct fittings are required otherwise it will pull out of plasterboard.

Ben · Answer

Yes. It should come with the appropriate fixings for this

Hi, in theory, yes it is possible with the correct fixings but the cons to this is your banking on a piece of 12mm plasterboard to hold up your new £500 + tv. My advice would be to cut out the plasterboard and install a suitable piece of supporting material. It would also aid in getting services to the rear of your tv which when installed will look more aesthetically pleasing

Mark · Answer

You mean a wall made of plasterboard?

There are many options but I would probably use GripIt TV clam plasterboard fixings from Screwfix. 

Thanks,

Always use a detector before any drilling starts . Also find the stud or studs to attach a piece of wood for extra support.

Tommy · Answer

yes it is, but must use the proper wall fixings or the bracket will not be secure to the wall.

Hi. You will need a masonry drill bit to the correct size of the wall plugs. Position the TV bracket to where you want it, keeping it level (most TV brackets come with its own spirit level), mark the holes with a pencil, using a hammer drill, keeping the drill straight start drilling the holes, making sure the holes are deep enough for the wall plugs, put the bracket in place and secure. Hope this helps
