TV Wall Mount Types and How to Choose
A TV mount must match the screen weight, its VESA hole pattern, the wall it goes on and how you want to watch. Here is how the common types compare, and what we check before we drill.
Updated November 2026 by the Grand Encore team
| Mount Type | Best For | Watch Out For |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed | Living rooms, corridors, signage | No angle change, plan height carefully |
| Tilt | Screens mounted high, above desks or fireplaces | Needs a little more depth from the wall |
| Full-motion arm | Corner rooms, hotel rooms, offices | Needs a strong wall; check weight rating |
| Ceiling | Shops, waiting areas, where walls are glass | Ceiling structure must take the load |
| Motorized | Villas, boardrooms, suites | Needs power and planning for cable movement |
| Floor stand or trolley | Rented offices, moving between rooms | Takes floor space; lock the wheels |
VESA and Weight
VESA is the pattern of screw holes on the back of the TV, such as 400 x 400 mm. The mount must cover that pattern and be rated above the screen weight, with a margin for full-motion arms that lever away from the wall.
Wall Types in the UAE
Concrete and solid block take heavy screens with the right anchors. Hollow block needs anchors made for hollow walls. Gypsum partitions need fixing into the metal studs or a backing plate; very heavy screens may need a different wall or a floor stand.
Cables
Plan power and HDMI behind the screen. Where the wall can be opened we run cables inside it; otherwise slim trunking painted to match keeps the wall tidy.

The standard screw-hole pattern on the back of a TV. The mount must match it.
Can you mount on glass or very thin walls?
Not on glass. For thin walls we look for structure behind, use a ceiling mount or a floor stand instead.
