Common wall types

Concrete block ranch homes

Where: 1970s homes around Jacaranda Lakes and in Plantation Isles and Plantation Gardens.

Mounting: Block exterior walls, drywall interiors; anchor into block with concrete screws or sleeve anchors.

Larger homes on acreage lots

Where: Plantation Acres and the western estate areas.

Mounting: Often block with wood-frame additions; check each room because an addition may use studs where the original house is block.

Garden and mid-rise condos

Where: Condo and townhome communities in Jacaranda and along University Drive and Broward Boulevard.

Mounting: Metal stud or concrete, depending on the building; use toggles or concrete anchors and follow association rules.

Wood-stud interior partitions

Where: Interior walls in most single-family homes and townhouses.

Mounting: Studs about 16" on center; lag into two studs for medium to large TVs.

Tips before you mount

• In 1970s Jacaranda Lakes houses, exterior and some interior walls are block: bring a hammer drill and 1/4" concrete screws, and avoid anchoring in hollow cores when a solid face shell is available.
• Remodeled homes in Plantation Acres often combine older block with newer wood-frame additions, so test each wall rather than assuming the same construction throughout the house.
• Condo and community associations in Plantation commonly require a COI and written approval for any work that penetrates exterior or common walls; confirm before scheduling.
• Older houses may have aluminum or knob-and-tube remnants in attics; hire an electrician if you plan to open walls rather than run surface raceway.
• Backyard and pool-deck TVs: South Florida afternoon storms and humidity argue for an outdoor-rated display with stainless hardware and a covered mount location.
• Large family rooms with fireplaces: check heat output and viewing angle, and consider a pull-down mount rather than a fixed one above a mantel.
• Wiring: plan for an in-wall rated power kit and CL2/CL3 cable; block walls rarely allow fish tape runs, so a paintable raceway or a stud-bay route is typical.
