TV Mount Fail
Have you ever experienced the heart-stopping moment when your TV suddenly comes crashing down from its mount? If so, you might be wondering what went wrong. One common reason for such failures is the improper installation of articulating TV mounts on drywall without the support of metal studs behind the wall. Let’s delve into why this happens and how you can prevent it from occurring in the future.
Understanding the Problem: Drywall and Articulating Mounts
Drywall, or gypsum board, is a common material used in interior construction for walls. While it’s great for creating smooth surfaces, drywall has limitations when it comes to supporting heavy items like TVs. Articulating mounts, which allow for flexibility and movement of the TV, put additional stress on the wall due to their dynamic nature.
The issue arises when these articulating mounts are installed without adequate support behind the drywall. Unlike fixed mounts that distribute weight evenly across the wall surface, articulating mounts concentrate stress points at specific locations, especially when the TV is extended or moved.
Why Metal Studs Matter
Metal studs, often used in commercial construction and increasingly in residential settings, provide crucial reinforcement for mounting heavy objects like TVs. Unlike traditional wooden studs, metal studs offer greater strength and durability.
When installing a TV mount, especially an articulating one, into drywall, the presence of metal studs significantly enhances stability and load-bearing capacity. Metal studs are engineered to support heavier loads and distribute weight more effectively compared to standard wooden studs.
Failure Scenario: Articulating Mounts and Drywall
Imagine mounting an articulating TV mount directly onto drywall without securing it to metal studs. At first, everything might seem fine—your TV is up, and you can adjust its position as needed. However, over time, the constant stress from movement and the weight of the TV can weaken the integrity of the drywall.
The result? The drywall begins to give way, unable to support the strain placed upon it. Eventually, this leads to failure, causing the TV mount to rip out from the wall, potentially damaging the drywall and risking the safety of your TV and those around it.
