TV Mount Above a Fireplace
Large televisions take up a lot of space in Austin homes. Improvements in technology made televisions thinner and lighter, so mounting them on the wall is easier than it used to be. Mounting an LCD or plasma television over a fireplace makes space in the room for furniture pieces like chairs and end tables. Mounting a flat screen television on the wall above a fireplace is a doable task. It requires two installers for lifting the television and attaching the flat screen onto the bracket.
Ultra Flush Mounting on a
Standard Sheetrock Wall
The relatively light weight and slim profile of flat-screen televisions gives you many more placement and mounting options than were available with old-fashioned televisions. Flush mounting is a popular placement option, and it can be achieved if you have the correct mount and the correct tools, even with the Sheetrock walls that are ubiquitous in most Austin Texas homes.
Cantilever Mounting a Television
OmniMount is a major manufacturer of flat panel and speaker mounting accessories. At the large end of the scale is a selection of cantilever mounts, designed for a maximum 65-inch screen. Using a cantilever bracket is a great way to corner mount a television to offer a larger variety of viewing angles.
Tilt Mounting a television
Mounting a plasma LED or LCD TV to a wall is a convenient way to clean up clutter and save space in your home. Wall mounting is not without its problems, however. Depending on where you’re sitting or who’s watching the TV, its position on the wall could be too high. An easy way to overcome this problem is to install a tilting wall mount rather than a flush mount. Doing this allows you to tilt your TV down to a degree depending on what your viewing angle is.
