Hi All
Wall mounted TV
OK hear is my take on this.
Most new builds in the UK are now dry lined which means that the inside walls are finished by battening the wall and then fixing plasterboards to the battens by using a fixing method known as dot and dab which basically is a way of gluing the boards to the wall, then a thin skim of plaster is put on top. This method was introduced as it is quicker to complete the construction takes less time for the property to dry and adds insulation value as there is an air gap between the inner board and the outer wall.
As the apartments at Condado are of concrete construction they may well have used a similar way of finishing the inside walls?
If this is the case the problem in fixing heavy things like TV’s is problematical as if the location you intend to fix the bracket is where there is no existing batten behind the boards to securely fix to, you will not achieve a strong enough fixing to support the wait of such a heavy object and although you may think you have achieved this it is likely to fail at some point in the future with expensive consequences, also you have to be careful wiring or piping haven’t been laid just behind the boards in the air gap.
It is possible to check for these and strengthen the wall area depending on the individual circumstances, but someone who knows what they are doing should do it. Until I come out next week to have a look for my self I don’t know the answer for sure but will be happy to update this post on my return.
