Common wall types

Concrete block (CBS) exterior walls

Where: Newer and older subdivision houses, including new construction at Cypress Bay West.

Mounting: Anchor into the block itself with concrete screws or sleeve anchors; furring strips and drywall over block cannot hold a TV mount alone.

Wood-stud interior partitions

Where: Interior walls in most Palm Bay houses.

Mounting: Studs on 16" centers; lag a flat or tilting mount into two studs and use blocking for heavier arms.

Covered lanai walls

Where: Rear lanais on houses in the Port Malabar subdivision and similar areas.

Mounting: Lanai walls are often block or stucco with exposure to humidity and storm-driven rain; mount outdoor-rated TVs with stainless hardware.

Apartment and townhome walls

Where: About 8.3% of homes are in buildings of 5 or more units.

Mounting: Metal-stud walls are common; use snap toggles or wood blocking rated for the combined TV and arm weight.

Tips before you mount

• Lag the mount into at least two studs, usually 16" on center, with 5/16" lag bolts; an articulating arm leverages far more weight on the wall than a fixed mount.
• Block walls: a hammer drill, a carbide masonry bit and 1/4" concrete screws or 3/8" sleeve anchors into the block face are the typical combination; avoid the grout lines.
• Coastal Brevard County air carries salt and moisture, so use stainless or coated fasteners on any exterior or lanai wall.
• Screens on a lanai see sun and heat; choose an outdoor or shaded-location rated TV and keep it out of direct afternoon sun.
• Hiding wires: NEC 400.12 does not permit a standard TV power cord inside a wall cavity, so in-wall power needs a code-rated recessed outlet kit, while HDMI and speaker runs use CL2 or CL3 rated cable.
• Tell the installer the wall type (block, stud or metal stud) and the TV weight; block walls change both the anchors and the time required.
