Walls in Lakeland homes: what to know before mounting a TV or building a media wall

What to know before mounting a TV or building a media wall

Lakeland has seven historic districts, including Dixieland, Beacon Hill, South Lake Morton and East Lake Morton, with homes from the 1920s to 1940s in Bungalow, Mediterranean Revival and frame vernacular styles around its lakes. Newer suburbs and condos add block-and-stucco construction elsewhere in the city. The median build year is 1985, and about 14.6% of homes were built before 1960.

Tips before you mount

  • Lakeland's historic districts may have design review for exteriors; interior mounting is generally fine, but check with the city before cutting exterior walls.
  • Bungalows from the 1920s through 1940s often have plaster; test-drill a hidden spot and use backer boards for heavy mounts.
  • Older frame homes on pier foundations can give cable access from below; ask an electrician before drilling floors.
  • Mediterranean Revival homes with thick stucco and masonry need masonry-rated bits and slow drilling.
  • Lakefront porches see humidity and summer storms; use outdoor-rated TVs and stainless hardware.
  • Older homes may have outdated wiring; have an electrician inspect outlets before adding a recessed power kit.
  • Wiring: use an in-wall rated power kit and CL2/CL3 cable; in plaster or masonry a surface raceway is typical.
