How to Prepare A TV Wall

Preparing Your New TV Wall
TV Walls are all the rage right now - you wouldn't believe how many calls from across the entire North East that we are getting to add the finishing touches of putting the TV on the wall and connecting it up.
However, many of these jobs are turning into a bit of a challenge, as by the time we are actually booked, the walls are up, prepped, plastered, decorated, and usually with little or no idea where all of the wiring is!
A great tip we can give you, which means we won't have to take educated guesses at where everything is behind your lovely new wall, is to take a photo like the one above whilst having your renovations done. Even better, take us some measurements too.
It is also better to actually have your TV at the building stage, so your electrician can look at the back and put the plug socket in a place that isn't going to obstruct the bracket, stop the TV sitting flush or stick out of the side of the TV on your lovely new clean finish wall.
If you want advice at the building stage on the best place, height or where wiring should go to optimise you wifi connection and cabling to the TV, then just give us a call. We are happy to be onboard early to make sure you get what you want as the finished product.
Some simple steps early on in the project can really make a huge difference to how quick it is to hang your TV and to what the finished look of your TV wall turns out as.
As many people say, foresight is better than hindsight and when wall hanging TV's, this is very true!
