DIY Wall Mounting Guide for Flat Screen Televisions

Wall mounting your TV frees up floor space, protects screens from accidental bumps by children, and creates a sleek home theater look. Learn how to locate wall studs, choose masonry wall plugs, and level your TV bracket in Kenya.

Choosing Fixed vs Tilting vs Full Motion Brackets

Fixed brackets keep the screen flush against the wall. Tilting brackets allow downward angles to reduce glare in bedrooms. Full motion articulating arms let you swivel the TV toward your dining or balcony area.

Determining the Ideal Eye Level Viewing Height

The center of your television screen should align with your eye level when seated on your sofa (usually 100 to 110 centimeters from the floor).

Drilling Masonry Concrete and Stone Walls in Kenya

Most Kenyan apartment walls are built with concrete blocks or stone masonry. Use a 10mm masonry drill bit and heavy duty nylon rawl wall plugs with matching hex lag bolts.

Using a Spirit Level and Double Checking Screws

Place a bubble spirit level across the wall plate before tightening bolts. Mount the vertical bracket arms to the VESA holes on the back of your TV using the correct thread length screws.

Hanging the TV and Cable Management

Have a friend help you lift and hook the TV onto the wall plate. Tighten the bottom safety locking screws and bundle cables inside a paintable plastic wire trunking channel.

Practical Tips for the Kenyan Market

When shopping for pre owned goods in Kenya, factor in transport logistics, electrical surge protection, and physical inspection. Always test appliances, furniture joints, and device functionalities thoroughly before completing payment on M-Pesa.

Dealing with verified local sellers or working with Rehome agents provides an extra layer of security, ensuring you get authentic value without unexpected repair costs.
