Flat screen TVs have become so affordable that they are now in many homes throughout the country. In fact, they’re so ubiquitous that the phrase “flat screen television” is almost redundant. Most televisions these days are flat. Many people have their television sitting on the stands that come in the box. This is a decent way to display your television if you have the space and furniture to set it on, but it doesn’t hide your wires and it might take up too much space. Also, it limits the amount of space you have in your home because your television has to sit on a table or a desk. There is a better option, though; you can display your television on a wall, which increases the visibility of your television and doesn’t take up extra floor space. If you mount your television on the wall, you have far more versatility in terms of viewing and there will be more free space in your home as well. Here is how mounting your television on the wall can help you.
Saving Space
Saving space in your home is a constant concern for certain people. For those who have limited space, mounting your television on the wall will get it off the floor and out of the way. Wall mounts reduce the need for bulky entertainment stands and other clunky furniture. It also helps because you can mount the actual wires to the wall, using a practice called “trunking.”
Trunking is something you have probably seen before and it is a pretty common feature of a professional television mount. If you hire professionals to mount your television, you will get the best quality and most reliable work you can find. It might seem like something you can do yourself, but it’s better if you hire a professional to avoid errors and mishaps. A TV installation by JNB promises reliability and security. They will do everything in their power to save as much space as possible. That could mean trunking or even hiding the wires within the wall itself.
Trunking is the practice of bundling wires together and hiding them behind a cover; it’s called trunking because it ends up looking like the trunk of a tree. You can also ask your professional installers to hide your cables completely. That likely means they’ll put them in the actual wall, directly behind the television mount.
Different Materials
Not everyone will be able to have his or her television wires hidden. If you have a brick wall, for example, it might not be possible to hide your wires in the wall due to the rigid nature of the material. However, brick offers a level of security and stability that other materials don’t. If you mount a television to a brick wall, it will be incredibly secure, but only if you hire professionals. Mounting to brick can be difficult due to potential cracks and fissures that can stem from improper drilling.
Working with drywall or other wall materials is much easier, but drywall isn’t sturdy enough to support the weight of your television. If you install your wall mount incorrectly, you could damage your wall and your television. Falling off the wall could be devastating to your TV; that’s why it’s so important for a TV to be mounted securely to a stud in the wall. Installation experts can ensure that your television is secure.
