Grip-It TV Bracket Plasterboard Fixing Kit

Product Information

To estimate how strong the anchors should be, add the weight of the mount and TV, then add on an extra 20% to the result for safety.

More and more homeowners in the UK are converting their garages, sheds or other unused rooms in their homes to create . if cavity you will be able to slide it effortlessly through and touch the back of the opposite side.

Position your anchor where you would like to install your TV and use a pencil to indicate exactly how you want it to sit. If you have moved into an old home and you see your stud finder not working, we recommend that you go for a metal scanner instead to find the studs hanging. Thankfully, you can easily learn how to mount a TV on the wall without a stud finder, instead, using an anchor.

But, if your television is particularly heavy, you may find it useful to know that generally, with the right mounting, plasterboard can hold up to 50kg. Generally, a plasterboard wall will hold a TV securely and safely, but this is only as long as you use the right mounting. The better quality means heavier TV can be mounted, it will stay long, lesser chances of danger to the wall and the money paid correctly.

There are also some tube-shaped hollow wall anchors that are a little easier to work with, but they don’t bear quite as much weight. This multiplies the forces on the bracket so a 5kg TV could easily put 15kg+ of strain on the wall plugs. I just cant see it working, but some reassurance, advice (and maybe piccies) from those who have done it would be great! You might get away with heavy duty plasterboard fixing such as spring toggles or snap fixings… but I really wouldn’t advise it.

These studs provide a solid foundation for attaching items such as shelves, curtains, and televisions using GeeFix. Now sit on the comfy sofa and enjoy the TV at the best viewing angle and with uninterrupted scenery. As you tighten the bolts, the fixing adjusts to the wall thickness and the vice-like grip of the GripIt increases. The fixings are suitable for all types of plasterboard, plywood, hardboard, chipboard, MDF and even sheet metal. Some people still opt for a traditional TV stand, but a lot of people to save space and create a modern feel are mounting their TVs on a wall.TV brackets are easy to install and are made from lightweight metal making them easy to mount on the wall. The arms can extend up to 50cm into the room, but when flat against the wall, has a profile of just 5. Next, you’ll need to check that the bracket you've got your sights set on can handle the size and weight of your TV.
