When it comes to setting up your home entertainment system, choosing the right TV wall mount/bracket is crucial. At Moss of Bath, we’ve been helping customers in the South West UK find the perfect solutions for their homes for over 60 years. Our experience in custom installation has taught us that the right bracket can make all the difference in your viewing experience.

Why wall mount your TV?

Before diving into the types of brackets/mounts available, let’s consider why wall mounting your TV is a smart choice:

Space-saving: It frees up floor space and gives your room a cleaner look.

Improved viewing angles: You can adjust the TV to reduce glare and ensure comfortable viewing from various positions.

Safety: Properly mounted TVs are less likely to be knocked over, especially important in homes with children or pets.

Aesthetic appeal: A wall-mounted TV can be a stylish focal point in your room.

Types of TV wall mounts

There are several types of TV wall mounts, each suited to different needs and room layouts. At Moss of Bath, we primarily use and recommend Vogel’s wall mounts and brackets for their exceptional quality and innovative features. Let’s explore the options:

Fixed mounts

Fixed mounts are the simplest option, holding your TV close to the wall in a stationary position.

They are easy to install and have a sleek, low profile appearance.

Fixed mounts are most suitable for rooms where you always watch TV from the same angle.

We would recommend fixed mounts for bedrooms or smaller spaces where you typically view the TV straight-on.

Tilting mounts

Tilting mounts allow for vertical adjustment, usually around 15-20 degrees downward and are ideal for TVs mounted higher on a wall, above a fireplace for example.

From an installation point of view tilting mounts allow easier access to ports compared to a fixed mount.

They can help reduce glare from windows or lights in the room and therefore are a great choice for living rooms where you might need to adjust the angle to combat glare at different times of day.

Full-motion (articulating) mounts

Full-motion mounts offer the most flexibility, allowing you to tilt, swivel, and extend the TV from the wall. 

The maximum viewing angle adjustment means that a full-motion mount is ideal for open-plan living areas or rooms with multiple seating arrangements.

It is also simple to pull the TV away from the wall for easy access to ports.

We often recommend full-motion mounts for larger living spaces or for clients who want the most versatile viewing options.
