TV mounting Johannesburg

Standard mounting runs R450 to R950, large TVs and full-motion brackets R850 to R1,500, with brackets themselves R250 to R1,200 if supplied. Surface cable trunking adds R150 to R450; in-wall concealment and new plug points are quoted separately.

Centre of the screen at seated eye level — roughly 100 to 110cm from the floor for a typical couch, higher only for standing-view rooms. The mounted-too-high TV is the most common regret in home setups; measuring from your actual seating beats any generic rule.

Yes — by fixing into the studs behind the board or using engineered hollow-wall anchors rated well above the TV’s weight. What fails is ordinary plastic plugs in plasterboard. Full-motion arms on drywall need particular care because the extended arm multiplies the load. It’s always worth getting a professional assessment for your specific setup in Johannesburg — quotes on Kandua are free.

Two routes: surface trunking (quick, paintable, renter-friendly) or in-wall concealment, which chases cables into the wall for a completely clean look. In-wall routing that includes a new plug point behind the TV crosses into electrical installation work — that part is done by a registered electrician.

Fixed sits flattest and cheapest for a straight-on couch view; tilt helps when the TV must sit higher than ideal; full-motion suits corner placements and rooms watched from multiple angles. Bigger and heavier brackets demand stronger fixing — another reason bracket choice belongs in the booking conversation.
