Simply TV Wall Mounts

Ceiling mounts are an increasing popular choice for businesses, allowing TV’s to be hung from ceilings to maximise space and cater for a wide range of applications.

From sports bars to catalogue stores to airport terminals, a ceiling mount can provide a dynamic channel for displaying important information for customers and keeping that information out of arms reach, including appointment information in waiting lounges, queue updates in busy retail stores and train times at railway stations.

Introducing the ceiling mount

As the name suggests, ceiling mounts are hung from the ceiling, so need to be very tough and malleable to support their own and the tv’s weight. They tend to be made from aluminium metal, a more expensive metal than that used for standard tv wall mounts but known for its strength and rigidity.

Being hung from the ceiling, their range of movement is much more flexible than flat screen tv wall mounts, allowing raising and lowering from the ceiling, tilting and full 360 degree rotation. This allows a much wider range of viewing angles and room layout options – so if you’re the type of person who likes to move their furniture around a lot, a ceiling mount could be thing for you.

Types of ceiling mount

The bracket used on a ceiling mount tends to follow those used for flat planel tv wall mounts – rectangular for widescreens tv’s and square for square tv’s.

While most ceiling mounts are made for single displays, some can hold two or more tv’s at once and even provide an additional fixing for a projector ceiling mount, allowing a whole array of displays to be hung from a single point on the ceiling. Of course, the more tv’s you have, the more they will weigh and the more demand they will put on your ceiling, so as with any plasma or lcd tv wall mounts, you should always consider the size and weight of your displays and the strength of the surface you will be attaching them to before choosing your mounting solution.

Mounting a ceiling bracket

Most ceiling mounts will come with a kit to help you install the ceiling mount safely to your ceiling. Once installed, the ceiling mount will need locking in place to prevent it from spinning on its own. These locks will need to be undone to adjust the position of the tv, but some ceiling mounts are equipped with accessories to allow for minor adjustments without the need to unlock them entirely.

Price

Unsurprisingly, all this added capability comes at a cost. Ceiling mounts are generally more expensive than their tv wall mounts counterparts, but if you can afford them, it’s worth it.
