Elevate Your Space: A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Sky Glass on Wall Bracket
In the pursuit of creating a modern, sleek home, one element stands out: the Sky Glass wall-mounted television. Its seamless design and minimalist aesthetic can transform any room. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to put Sky Glass on a wall bracket, ensuring a secure and stylish installation.
Understanding Your Wall Bracket
Before you begin, familiarize yourself with your wall bracket. Sky Glass comes with a VESA-compatible bracket, supporting sizes between 200x200mm and 400x400mm. Ensure your bracket is suitable for your television's VESA size (200x200mm for Sky Glass).
Gather Your Tools
- Wall bracket
- Wall screws (included with the bracket)
- Drill (if not using the template)
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Spirit level
- Screwdriver (included with the bracket)
- TV mounting screws (included with the bracket)
Preparation: Measuring and Marking
Start by deciding on the perfect height and position for your Sky Glass. The center of the screen should be at eye level when seated. Mark the top and bottom of your bracket on the wall using a tape measure and pencil. Ensure the bracket is level using a spirit level.
Using the Template Method
Some brackets come with a template. If yours does, attach it to the wall using tape or Blu Tack, then mark through the holes with a pencil. This ensures accurate drilling.
Drilling Holes
If you're not using a template, drill pilot holes at your marked points. The size of the drill bit should match the diameter of your wall screws. Be cautious when drilling into walls, especially if they're plasterboard. Consider using wall plugs for added security.
Attaching the Bracket to the Wall
Attach the bracket to the wall using the screws provided. Ensure it's securely fastened and level. Tighten the screws firmly but be careful not to overtighten and strip the threads.
Mounting Your Sky Glass
Before mounting, ensure your Sky Glass is powered off and unplugged. Remove the stand from the television by unscrewing it. Attach the mounting screws provided to the back of your Sky Glass, ensuring they align with the VESA holes.
Securing the TV to the Bracket
Carefully lift your Sky Glass and align it with the bracket. Lower it onto the bracket, ensuring the mounting screws engage with the bracket's holes. Push the television gently until it's securely fastened to the bracket.
Finishing Touches
Reconnect your Sky Glass to the power source and any other cables. Test the television to ensure it's working correctly. Stand back and admire your handiwork - your space has just been elevated with your stunning, wall-mounted Sky Glass.
