Final Check and Cleanup
We check the hold together, test swivel and tilt and connect your devices. Drill dust is vacuumed up.
We mount your TV securely on the wall in Vienna: on Altbau brick, drywall (Rigips) or concrete, with a fixed, tilting or swivel bracket. TV wall mounting in Vienna from €70, with a fixed price upfront.
A wall-mounted TV has to do three things. It holds for years, it hangs level, and it sits at the right height. Tidy cables come on top if you want them.
Mounting a TV on Altbau, Drywall and Concrete
Old brick is often soft, so standard plugs grip poorly. Drywall is too thin for standard plugs, so it needs cavity anchors that brace behind the board. Concrete holds a lot but is hard to drill. We choose the anchor based on the wall and the weight. Details for drywall are further down this page.
Hiding Cables (Optional Add-On)
On request, we run the cables in a slim channel painted to match the wall. On drywall, HDMI and network cables can also run behind the board. We do not route the TV's power cable inside the wall. A new socket behind the TV is installed by an external, licensed electrician.
Soundbar and Devices
We mount and connect your soundbar, console or streaming box in the same visit.
TV Mounting on Drywall (Rigips): The Right Anchors
Many newer Vienna apartments and renovated Altbau units have drywall partitions. A standard board is 12.5 mm of gypsum. A normal expansion plug spins in it without gripping, and over time the TV's weight pulls it out.
We use cavity anchors that open behind the board and spread the load over a wider area. For heavy TVs or swivel arms, we locate the stud frame with the scanner and fix into it, or add a reinforcement. The anchor types and their loads are in the table below.
On drywall, the board often limits the load more than the anchor does. Double-layer walls (2 x 12.5 mm) hold considerably more than single-layer walls.
Checking the Wall Before Drilling
Before the first hole, we check the mounting area with a wall scanner. It shows power cables, metal and wooden studs in the wall. Not every scanner detects plastic water pipes reliably. That is why we also avoid the zones directly above and below sockets and switches, where cables usually run vertically.
If the scanner shows something in the way, we shift the bracket by a few centimetres. Most brackets allow this without changing the TV's position much.
In Altbau buildings, cables sometimes run diagonally or at unusual heights. A scanner catches much of what you cannot see from outside.
The Technical Knowledge Behind a Safe TV Mount
Leverage Forces on Swivel Brackets
We plan the anchors for the extended arm, not just the TV weight. With swivel arms, the leverage is easy to underestimate.
VESA Standards and Bracket Compatibility
We check VESA compatibility before the appointment and bring adapter plates if needed. A bracket that does not fit means lost time and extra holes in your wall.
Drywall Anchor Comparison for TV Mounting
| Anchor Type | Example | Load per Anchor (12.5mm board) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal toggle anchor | Fischer HM | up to 25 kg | Medium TVs, fixed brackets |
| Toggle bolt | Toggler | up to 30 kg | Large TVs, tilting brackets |
| Threaded sleeve anchor | Knauf Hartmut | up to 35 kg | Heavy TVs, swivel arms |
| Plastic drywall anchor | various | up to 5 kg | NOT suitable for TVs |
| Standard expansion plug | Fischer S | 0 kg in drywall | NOT suitable for drywall |
Guide values for standard 12.5 mm single-layer gypsum board. Always follow the manufacturer's data. Double-layer boards (2 x 12.5 mm) hold considerably more. Values are per anchor point; a typical TV bracket uses 4 to 6 anchor points.
Important Safety Notes
Never use plastic drywall anchors for TVs
The red or blue plastic screw-in anchors from the hardware store hold a few kilograms at most. They are made for pictures and light shelves, not for a 15 to 25 kg TV.
The TV's power cable does not go inside the wall
A device power cord is not made to be laid inside a wall. Fixed power lines and new sockets must be installed by an external, licensed electrician.
Swivel arms need a stronger fixing
An extended swivel arm pulls on the wall far more than the TV's weight alone. The fixing must be planned for this.
FAQs
How much does TV wall mounting cost in Vienna?
Simple mounting (32 to 55 inch) from €70, 55 to 75 inch with swivel arm from €80, 75 to 85 inch from €100. Cable channel from €40, soundbar from €39, complete package with TV, cable management and soundbar from €119. We give you a fixed price once we know the TV model and the wall.
What happens if the drill hole breaks out in an Altbau wall?
It happens in old buildings: old brick or plaster crumbles, the hole gets too big and a normal wall plug no longer holds. Then we fill the hole with 2-component fast mortar. It sets within minutes, and after that the screw holds firmly. This costs €30 extra per cartridge. We ask you first, and the surcharge only applies if you agree. If you say no, we look for another drilling spot. If that isn't possible, we don't mount at that spot, because the hold wouldn't be safe.
Can a large TV hang safely on drywall (Rigips)?
Yes, with the right technique. Standard plugs spin in the gypsum board. We use metal cavity anchors that brace behind the board, or fix into the stud frame. Heavy TVs or swivel arms may need a reinforcement. We tell you honestly what your wall can take before we drill.
Do you bring the bracket, and which one is right?
You can buy your own bracket, or we bring a suitable one. A fixed or tilting bracket sits flat and is the most stable. A swivel arm makes sense if you want to turn the TV towards different seats. The bracket must match the VESA pattern (the hole spacing on the back of the TV) and the weight. We check this before the appointment.
What is the ideal height for mounting my TV?
It depends on where you sit. As a rule of thumb, the centre of the screen should be at eye level when you sit on the sofa, usually around 100 to 110 cm from the floor. Many TVs hang too high, which strains the neck over time. We measure it with you on site.
Can you hide the cables completely?
Yes, as an optional add-on (see pricing). On drywall, HDMI, network and audio cables can usually run behind the board. On solid brick walls we recommend a flat surface channel painted to match the wall. The TV's power cable does not go inside the wall. In Austria, fixed power lines and new sockets may only be installed by a licensed electrician. If you need a socket behind the TV, an external, licensed electrician installs it.
How long does TV wall mounting take?
A standard TV on a straightforward wall takes 45 to 60 minutes, including a cable channel. With a swivel arm and cables inside drywall, allow 60 to 90 minutes. On Altbau walls or where the wall type is unclear, checking the wall adds about 10 to 15 minutes.
Can I mount a TV on the wall in a rented apartment?
Usually yes. In Austria, a normal number of drill holes is generally treated as normal use of the apartment. What applies when you move out depends on your lease, so if in doubt, ask your landlord. We drill only as many holes as needed.
