Common wall types

Plaster bungalows and Victorians

Where: East Nashville and Belmont-Hillsboro.

Mounting: Plaster over lath: find studs, pre-drill slowly, and lag into studs.

Brick houses and townhouses

Where: Germantown.

Mounting: Brick walls need masonry anchors; drywall over furring needs toggles or studs.

Tall-and-skinny infill

Where: Newer zero lot line houses across the city.

Mounting: Drywall on studs; party wall rules apply between units.

Condo and high-rise walls

Where: Downtown and the Gulch.

Mounting: Concrete or metal studs; approval and COI.

Crawl-space frame houses

Where: Many mid-century houses.

Mounting: Stud walls; no basement means fewer masonry walls.

Tips before you mount

• Tall-and-skinny houses share a lot with a neighbor and often have fire-rated walls between units; do not cut recessed boxes in rated walls.
• East Nashville bungalows have plaster and modest wall space between windows; confirm stud locations before choosing a TV size.
• Germantown brick often has plaster applied directly to the brick; use a masonry bit and sized anchors.
• Summers are hot and humid; outdoor TVs need an outdoor rating and shade.
• Condo towers downtown require approval and COI; drilling into concrete may be restricted.
• Hidden wires: use CL2 or CL3 rated cable and an in-wall rated power kit; NEC 400.12 does not allow a standard TV cord in a wall.
