TV wall mounting in Melbourne: a homeowner's complete guide

A TV that's mounted properly looks like it belongs on the wall — flush, level, no visible cables, no sagging bracket. Done badly, it's a safety hazard and an eyesore. Here's what a professional Melbourne install actually involves.

Bracket types - **Fixed**: cheapest, lowest profile, no movement. - **Tilting**: small up/down adjustment — useful when the TV sits above eye level. - **Full-motion**: extends, swivels and tilts. Best for corner installs and rooms with multiple seating positions.

Stud, brick, plaster — it matters Australian homes vary wildly. Timber stud walls need the bracket bolted into the studs (never just plasterboard). Double-brick walls need masonry anchors. Hebel and rendered brick each need specific fixings. Get this wrong and the TV ends up on the floor.

Cable concealment The neat finish comes from running HDMI and power **inside** the wall using an in-wall rated cable kit. AS/NZS rules mean only the data cables go in the wall — power must use a recessed in-wall power kit, not bare 240V. We carry both on the van.

Common mistakes we fix - TVs mounted to plasterboard with toggle bolts - HDMI cables run loose down the wall - Brackets installed un-level - Power points left in the middle of the wall behind the TV
