Here's what you need to know. The centre of the screen should be at eye level when you’re seated. This is typically about 100-110 cm from the floor. Your installer will help you find the perfect spot for your room and couch height in the Bellville area.

A tilting mount allows you to tilt the TV up or down to reduce glare. A full-motion mount is the most flexible, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and extend the TV away from the wall. A fixed mount holds the TV flat and flush against the wall with no adjustability.

For a simple mount, a skilled handyman is fine. It depends on the wiring. However, you must hire a qualified electrician if you need a new power outlet installed or want cables run inside the wall to comply with South Africa's SANS safety regulations.

If you have drywall (common in newer estates), the mount must anchor directly to the wooden studs inside. A Kandua professional can easily identify your wall type and use the correct fasteners to ensure a secure fit. Solid brick and concrete walls are best, but drywall needs support.

Can you mount a TV above a fireplace? Yes, but it's often more complex and costs more. The heat from the fireplace can potentially damage the TV over time, and the wall surface is often more difficult to work with (e.g., stone or tile). An installer will advise on the best way to do this safely. It's always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific needs.
