      Flat panel TVs are ideally suited to be wall mounted. Wall mounting your TV can create extra space and give a stylish uncluttered look to your room.

The slim profile of flat panel TVs means that they can be discreetly placed flat against a wall or they can be easily repositioned when mounted on a multi-position mount.

TV Size

The size of mount to choose is dependant on the screen size of your TV. AVF has flat panel mounts in three categories;


Small - for screens up to 23"
Medium - for screens up to 40"
Large - for screens up to 70"


Overlap exists between size categories as some mounts are compatible with a wide range of screen sizes.

Another important consideration is the weight of your TV. AVF mounts are subjected to rigorous weight testing however you should not exceed the weight limit indicated on products.

TV Position

The distance between you and your TV and the height you place your TV is usually based on personal preference. If you sit too close lower quality signals may appear pixelated, and if you sit too far away you may not see the high quality detail in HD or DVD signals.

Where you intend to place your TV will also have a direct influence on the type of wall mount best suited to your needs.



Flat to wall

If your aim is to achieve a discreet appearance, a flat to wall mount may be ideal for your room. Flat to wall mounts are designed with a slim profile to enable you to position your TV flush to the wall.



Tilt

Wall mounts with a tilt function enable you to place your TV in a higher position as they provide the opportunity to tilt your screen downwards for optimal viewing. Tilting capabilities can also help remedy situations where light is glaring off your screen.



Multi position

Multi-position mounts are ideal for positioning your TV in a corner or where you would like a wide range of viewing angles. They are the most flexible mounts available and allow you to fold out your TV on one or more arms and multiple pivot points to give a maximum range of viewing angles.

Multi-position mounts also usually have tilting capabilities and can be neatly folded back against the wall.

VESA Size

A further consideration when choosing a flat panel TV wall mount is whether your TV is VESA compatible, and if so, which VESA standard it is. VESA standards are set distances between screw holes on the back of flat panel TVs and monitors. You can read more about VESA standards on our Quality and Safety page.

Cable Management

Cable management is something you may wish to consider when wall mounting your TV in order to achieve a neat uncluttered finish. There are different ways of managing your cables and you may need to consider which approach you will take before installing your mount onto the wall.

Surface coverings

The easiest cable management solution is to cover your wires with cable trunking/cable raceway. These are coverings which stick to your wall over the top of your cables. Usually made out of plastic, they are available in varying thickness and are typically over-paintable.

Concealing in hollow walls

If you are mounting your TV on a stud or partition wall you may choose to run your cables in the hollow space between studs. You can so this by drilling a hole close to where the wall plate of your mount will be and threading your cables through the hollow space to emerge lower down your wall. Depending on the size of the hollow gap however you may have difficulty in threading thicker cables or end connectors.

As described on our Installing a TV Wall Mount page, make sure you check for pipes and wires before drilling, and ensure the screws of the wall plate of your mount are fixed into a wooden stud.

Concealing in solid walls

If you are mounting your TV on a solid wall you can conceal your cables by cutting or chiselling out a channel within your wall in which to run your cables. Simply plaster over the channel and repaint to achieve a smooth finish.

      Installing a TV wall mount is as easy as putting up a shelf. Product-specific fitting instructions are included with each product although you can download a replacement if required.

As easy as 1-2-3

Many AVF mounts come pre-assembled so installation is a simple 1-2-3 process as shown for an example product below.


Attach the TV plate to your TV
Screw the wall plate to the wall or ceiling
Attach the TV and wall plates together and level adjust your TV


Wall Type

You can find advice about where in your room to position your TV on our planning page, but it is also important to consider the type of wall you are mounting your TV on.



Use a stud-finder to find wooden battens/studs and to ensure there are no hidden pipes or wires behind where you intend to drill. Do not mount onto drywall, plasterboard or panelled walls unless all wall plate screws are fixed into a wooden batten/stud. When fixing to brickwork or solid masonry use suitable wall plugs and screws.

It is your responsibility to ensure the wall structure and fixings are capable of supporting the screen and mount in a normal working environment. Check the strength of the installation before installing the screen and if you have any doubts regarding installation please consult a qualified contractor.

      Quality and safety are paramount in the design and manufacture of our products.

Our products are designed to be functional yet attractive and innovative but with adherence to standards. We maintain the highest quality in the materials we use, the manufacturing process and the finished product.

VESA



The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has defined a family of standards for mounting flat panel monitors and TVs. Each VESA standard relates to the distance in millimetres between screw holes on the back of VESA compliant monitors and TVs.

All AVF flat panel mounts are VESA compliant and specify the maximum VESA standard they will fit. Many of our products also fit Non-VESA compliant monitors and TVs.

UL Testing



Rigorous internal quality procedures at our design and manufacture stages are also supplemented by independent third party testing leading to quality and safety accreditations.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is a not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organisation. Products satisfactorily tested are classed as 'UL listed'.

AVF products are UL listed after being tested to hold four times the weight recommended for each product.

Consumer Electronics Association



AVF is a proud member of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), a trade organisation and industry authority on legislative news, market research, engineering standards and more.
