Hi guys,
Business is going well and I have now expanded into Sat. installs- I had quite a lot of experience in this area but have now invested in the tools to undertake the work.
Anyway, I have taken up my first wall mount onto a plasterboard wall, I have been reluctant in the past but I feel a 20" LCD for one of my existing customers is a good starting ground.
The Wall is not very wide as it's between a door and external, brick wall. The wall is approx. 80cm wide and 25cm in depth.
Behind the wall is a small utility room.
As far as I can tell there are no horizontal noggins in the wall, just two vertical struts and then a sheet of plaster board between.
I have given the install some thought and think it's possible to either, chop a hole in the plasterboard, build a timber frame, make good and mount to that.
Less work & mess- mount the timber externally, on the surface of the wall but behind the TV so not visible.
Build something on the opposite side of the wall which I can clamp through to.
I am not sure which would be the best way about this install, and also the best way in which to carry out each solution.
The wall mount is on a short arm, 30cm so that the TV can be held off of the wall and angled in the corner of the room.
I really appreciate any advice and help.
Regards,
Chris
