“Our living-room wall is block behind the drywall and two companies said they couldn’t do it. Dale used the right anchors, hid the cables in the wall and checked it with a level twice. It hasn’t moved a hair.”

Questions
TV mounting: straight answers
Can you mount a TV on a concrete block wall?
Yes. Outside walls in most Central Florida homes are block behind the drywall. We drill through to the block and use masonry anchors rated for the weight, not drywall toggles.
Can you hide the cords inside the wall?
On most inside walls, yes, with a low-voltage plate kit. On block walls the cavity is too shallow, so we use a slim paintable raceway instead.
Do I need to buy the mount?
Either works. Tell us the TV size and the look you want and we’ll bring a mount that fits, or we’ll hang the one you have if it’s rated for the screen.
