Almost any wall can hold a TV — the trick is using the right anchors for the material. Here's how each common wall type is handled.
Drywall (with studs)
The most common interior wall. A secure mount is anchored into the wood or metal studs behind the drywall, never the drywall alone. Stud spacing determines where the bracket lands, which is why a level, centred TV sometimes needs a full-motion arm to sit where you want it.
Brick and concrete
Solid and very strong, but they need masonry anchors and a hammer drill. Done properly, brick and concrete give an extremely secure hold — ideal for large TVs.
Plaster (older homes)
Plaster-and-lath walls in older GTA homes are more brittle and can crack if drilled carelessly. They need the right technique and anchors, which is why we apply a small surcharge for plaster.
Stone and marble
Beautiful but unforgiving — one wrong hole shows. These need specialized bits and careful drilling, so they carry a higher surcharge.
Over a fireplace
Popular and doable, with two things to plan for: heat and mounting height. A full-motion or tilting mount keeps the screen at a comfortable angle, and we check the surface and clearances first.
How we keep it secure
Every install starts with finding studs or choosing the correct masonry anchor, then levelling and torqueing the bracket to spec. You can see wall-type pricing on our pricing section, or send us a photo of your wall for a fast, exact quote.
