With the proliferation of flat-panel TVs, designers immediately chose one unusual idea - to mount them directly to the wall. This method of attachment has many advantages. First, the place that used to be occupied by the curbstones for the equipment is being vacated. Secondly, the wall with the TV becomes a bright decorative accent of the interior. Thirdly, it becomes possible to choose the most convenient position for watching your favorite TV shows. And, fourthly, the process of fastening does not require heavy repair work, becauseThe TV set is installed using one compact bracket. However, before choosing the bracket for the TV on the wall, you need to understand the most common methods of attachment. About them today will be discussed in this publication from the "House of Dreams".
How to decorate the TV on the wall
Just installing the TV on the wall would be too simple a task for designers who like to turn every idea into a work of art. Having chosen this method of fastening, we have a lot of design possibilities before us. For example, the wall on which the TV hangs often becomes accentuated, which means that you can use additional techniques for its design - color play, use of additional materials, textures, decorative elements, etc. This option will look harmonious in the interior of the living room - a living room or bedroom.
Many furniture manufacturers have already taken care of the question - how to hang the TV on the wall. In some models of modular furniture, there is a space for equipment. This option assumes that the TV is hanging on the wall, but at the same time it is an element of the whole design. TV on the wall complete with modular furniture most harmoniously looks in the interiors of small rooms.
Another interesting way of placing TV on the wall is to arrange for it a separate niche or arch. Most often they are made of plasterboard, which allows you to create an element of any shape. The TV in the arch or niche looks very original and unusual in any interior. However, it should be borne in mind that by placing the TV in this way, in the future it will be very difficult for you to change its location, so you should initially take into account the location of the furniture in the room.
Also the hanging TV with the bracket can be mixed not on the wall itself, but, for example, on the stand or decorative panel. This method of installation is convenient in that, if necessary, the equipment can easily be rearranged or even transported to another room.
What are the brackets for TV
Depending on the design, TVS brackets can be:
- fixed
- inclined
- rotary
- ceiling
When using a fixed bracket, the TV is attached to the wall with an indentthe minimum size. However, in this case it can only be placed static, that is, you can not move the TV, change the angle or incline.
The design of the inclined bracket provides a swivel element that adjusts the angle of the TV.This insignificant detail allows you to choose a convenient position yourself when watching TV within 10-25 degrees. Since the TV is most often attached above eye level, it is not always convenient to look lying down. Therefore, the inclined bracket is optimal for fixing the equipment in the bedroom, living room or children's room. However, in the bracket of this type, there is no element that allows you to change the position of the TV.
It is possible to change the position of the equipment on all axes thanks to the swing arm for the TV.Its design is equipped with additional movable elements, which provide both horizontal and vertical rotation. In addition, some models of swivel brackets are equipped with a multi-arm pull-out element that allows you to push the TV away from the wall. Due to the extensive freedom of movement, the bracket of this type is ideal for placing TV in a corner or in rooms with non-standard layout. In addition, this method of attachment is suitable for placing the TV in the kitchen, where the viewing location often changes.
Ceiling bracket for TV is most often used in public places. In this case, the mount is mounted directly to the ceiling, which provides maximum visibility. The design of the bracket allows you to change the tilt of the display, as well as adjust the position of the TV in a range of 360 degrees.
How to choose the bracket for the TV
When choosing the bracket, it is first recommended to take into account the maximum weight that it can withstand and the weight of the TV.This information is necessarily indicated in the product documents and the TV's passport. Also, note whether the diagonal of the bracket fits the diagonal of the TV.
Most often in the complete set of the product there are all necessary for fastening elements. However, here it is necessary to take into account in addition the material of the wall on which the TV will hang. For example, to mount the display to a concrete or brick wall, it is enough to have standard anchors, dowels and fixing screws. But in order to attach the TV on the bracket to the plasterboard wall you need a base in the form of a wide platform.
Regarding the definition of the optimal height for the installation of the TV, much depends on the height of the viewing location in this matter. Ideally, the TV should hang so that the middle of the display is at eye level. A higher location of the TV is possible only if you do not watch it often, otherwise a long sitting with your head raised is unlikely to be comfortable.
After you have picked up the TV bracket on the wall, take care of the disguise of the wires and the cable. Most often for this purpose, a small niche with a cable channel is organized. However, if you make a hole in the wall is not possible, you can make a decorative box of plasterboard on top of the wall.
TV on the wall - it's convenient, beautiful and modern. Correctly set it, and it will only please, bringing pleasant moments while watching your favorite movies or TV shows.
