85-Inch TV Mounted on Brick Wall in Douglasville, GA
A Douglasville, GA homeowner wanted their massive 85-inch television mounted on a brick accent wall in their entertainment room. A heavy-duty tilt mount was selected to handle the panel's substantial weight on masonry, and a power outlet was installed behind the TV to eliminate any visible cords against the textured brick.
The tilt bracket was secured using eight concrete sleeve anchors drilled precisely into the brick, distributing the roughly 80-pound load across multiple anchor points. The TV was positioned at 50 inches from floor to screen center. The tilt mechanism provides a 12-degree downward angle to reduce glare from overhead lighting. A power outlet was installed behind the TV by routing wiring through the brick's mortar joints.
A hammer drill with carbide-tipped masonry bits bored clean holes without cracking surrounding material. Concrete sleeve anchors were torqued to specification, each rated well above the required load. The power outlet was installed by drilling through brick at a mortar joint and routing in-wall rated wiring. The recessed outlet box sits within the mount's footprint.
The Douglasville entertainment room now features an 85-inch display on exposed brick that looks dramatic and clean. The tilt mount handles glare effortlessly, and the masonry-grade anchoring provides exceptional stability. The behind-the-TV outlet ensures a permanently cord-free presentation.
