Questions
Can you hide the TV cables?
Yes, cable concealment can be added to the visit. It is priced before any work begins.
Can you mount a TV on a gypsum wall?
Usually, into the metal studs or with cavity anchors; very large screens may need a reinforcing plate. The technician checks the wall before drilling.
Do I need to buy the bracket?
Yes. The mounting price is for fitting your bracket, so check it matches the VESA size on the back of your TV.
How high should a wall-mounted TV be?
A comfortable starting point is the centre of the screen near seated eye level. Decide before the visit.
Can you mount on marble or glass?
Those surfaces need a look first. Add photos when you book; the technician confirms what is possible and prices it before starting.
How much does TV mounting cost?
TV mounting is AED 89 per TV on your bracket. Cable concealment and extras are priced before work begins.
How do I know what my wall is made of?
Knock on it: a hollow sound usually means gypsum board, a dull solid sound means block or concrete. If you're unsure, say so when you book and add a photo — the technician checks before drilling.
Can you mount more than one TV in a visit?
Yes. Choose how many TVs when you book; each is priced on the rate card, and you see the total before you pay.
