Common wall types

Stucco-over-masonry and plaster walls

Where: Orwin Manor and Mediterranean Revival homes near Interlachen Avenue and the chain of lakes.

Mounting: Solid masonry or thick plaster; use masonry anchors and drill slowly to avoid cracking plaster.

Craftsman and bungalow frame houses

Where: Older streets near Park Avenue and Rollins College.

Mounting: Wood studs behind plaster or drywall; find framing and use backer boards on plaster.

Custom Florida Spanish homes

Where: Homes with textured stucco and stone trim in the style of builder Sam Stoltz.

Mounting: Thick stucco and stone details; plan cable routes and mount locations to avoid decorative elements.

Condo and townhome buildings

Where: Along Orlando Avenue and the Park Avenue area.

Mounting: Metal studs, wood studs or concrete; follow association rules and use toggles or concrete anchors.

Tips before you mount

• In Orwin Manor and similar 1920s homes, walls can be plaster over masonry or lath; test-drill a hidden spot and use masonry-rated bits before committing to a TV position.
• Historic homes may carry local preservation constraints; interior mounting is generally allowed, but check with the city before altering exterior walls or visible conduit.
• Arched openings, built-in niches and decorative wall cutouts limit where a mount fits; measure the wall face rather than the room before choosing screen size.
• Lakefront and screened-porch TVs deal with humidity and storms; outdoor-rated displays and stainless fasteners are the safe choice.
• Old plaster can crack around anchors; use a backer board screwed to studs, and drill pilot holes slowly with hammer mode off until you reach the masonry or stud.
• Older homes may have 2-wire outlets or limited circuits; ask an electrician before adding a recessed power kit behind a screen.
• Wiring: choose an in-wall rated power kit and CL2/CL3 cable; in thick masonry or plaster, a paintable raceway is often neater than chasing into the wall.
