Before you start: pick the right spot

Decide where the TV should live based on seating layout, viewing height (eye level from the main seats) and glare from windows and lighting. If flexibility matters, consider a mount that tilts, extends or swivels so you can aim the screen perfectly.

Step 1: Check your walls

Not all walls are the same. Your wall type determines the anchors and method you’ll use:

Concrete block: very common in Bahamian homes. Use masonry anchors rated for the load. Solid block and filled cells hold well; hollow cells and mortar joints do not, so locate a solid area or use anchors designed for hollow block. If you’re unsure, ask a professional.
Brick walls: can support virtually any TV size. Use heavy-duty masonry anchors and drill into the brick, not the mortar.
Stud walls (drywall over wood studs): the studs carry the load; drywall alone does not. Use fixings designed for the wall and match them to the TV’s weight.

Step 2: Gather your tools

Mounting isn’t complex, but the TV is heavy, so have a second person help.

Suitable wall bracket
Tape measure
Screwdrivers (slotted and Phillips)
Pencil
Spirit level
Drill and appropriate wall plugs or anchors

Step 3: Choose the right mounting bracket

There are two main categories:

VESA standard brackets: match your TV’s VESA hole pattern (the distance between the four mounting holes in mm). Check the manual or measure to confirm.
Universal (non-VESA) brackets: adjustable arms adapt to non-standard layouts. Make sure the weight rating covers your TV.

Pick between fixed, tilting or full-motion (swivel and extend) based on how much adjustability you need.

Step 4: Follow the mounting process

Position your TV: use a paper template or careful marks before drilling to get the height and placement right.
Mount the wall bracket: measure, level and mark the holes before you drill.
Drill and secure: drill the holes, insert wall plugs or anchors and tighten the bracket firmly.
Attach the bracket to the TV: fix the TV side of the bracket with the correct screws, avoiding cross-threading.
Connect cables first: plug in power, HDMI and other cables before lifting the TV onto the wall. Then hang and lock the TV in place.

Step 5: Hide the wires

Plan cable management for a sleek finish:

Run cables inside wall conduits where permitted.
Use paintable surface trunking that matches your walls.
Route wires behind cabinetry or furniture when in-wall runs aren’t feasible.

DIY vs. professional install

DIY can work, but a professional ensures correct height, safe anchoring and invisible wiring in one visit. We handle unboxing, mounting, cable hiding and device setup, so the room looks as good as it sounds.
