The Best Wall Type for TV Mounting: Drywall, Brick, or Concrete?

Mounting a TV sounds simple — until you realize not all walls are created equal. The type of wall behind your screen determines what tools, anchors, and methods are safe. Here’s what you need to know.

🟦 Drywall

The most common wall type in homes. On its own, drywall can’t hold the weight of a TV. It requires anchoring into studs or heavy-duty toggle bolts.

👉 Mistake to Avoid: Mounting directly on drywall without studs — this is how TVs fall.

✅ Pro Fix: We locate studs precisely and use proper anchors to ensure a secure hold.

🧱 Brick

Strong and reliable, but drilling into brick requires specialized masonry bits and hardware. If done incorrectly, it can cause cracking.

✅ Pro Fix: We use the right anchors and ensure the mount is secure without damaging the surface.

Concrete

Concrete walls are the sturdiest option, but only if drilled correctly. They require heavy-duty anchors and precision tools.

✅ Pro Fix: Our team brings professional drills and the right anchors to guarantee a long-lasting installation.

Why Professional Mounting Matters

A falling TV can cause thousands in damages — and serious injuries. Professional installers not only ensure your TV is secure but also hide cables, set the perfect height, and leave your space looking clean and modern.

📞 With 6IX Assembly, your TV isn’t just mounted — it’s safely styled for your home.
