Common wall types

Brick veneer over wood frame

Where: Suburban Plano, Frisco, Arlington and Fort Worth neighborhoods.

Mounting: Mount to interior studs; veneer is not structural.

Where: Most homes across the metro.

Mounting: Slabs flex; expect hairline drywall cracks near mounts.

Mid-century homes

Where: Older Dallas and Fort Worth neighborhoods.

Mounting: Plaster or drywall; lag into studs.

High-rise and mid-rise condos

Where: Uptown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth.

Mounting: Concrete or metal studs; approval and COI.

Manufactured homes

Where: Exurban areas.

Mounting: Thin walls; mounts must hit framing.

Tips before you mount

• Expansive clay causes seasonal foundation movement; recheck mount bolts yearly and leave slack in cables.
• Sticking doors and cracking drywall are warning signs of movement; do not mount heavy articulating arms on walls with active cracks.
• Summer heat is extreme: covered patio TVs need an outdoor rating and shade, not just a roof.
• Storm and hail season: unplug and cover exterior TVs.
• Condos require approval and COI before drilling.
• 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.
