Mounting on Plaster Walls

Plaster walls are common in homes built before the 1960s, and while they’re durable, they’re also tricky. If you’ve ever tried to hang something heavy on plaster with regular screws, you know the frustration. Cracking, crumbling, and giant holes are all too common.

The key is anchoring the right way. it's hard to determine whether your specific wall will perform the same way. Plaster wall is a lot more brittle and prone to cracking, so hammering nails into the plaster may or may not have an adverse effect. We always recommend using the screws and anchors for plaster walls or going directly into a stud.  

On the bright side though, because HangSmart is SO LIGHT, and practically weighs nothing, it doesn't add more weight to the TV. If you were to install a traditional rack onto your plaster wall, you would have the weight of the heavy rack, plus the weight of the TV bearing down on the wall. With HangSmart, it eliminates a lot of that weight because the mount itself is so light.

So if you are going to install a TV onto the plaster wall using a traditional rack (either with screws and anchors or into a stud), you may consider opting for HangSmart, where you can still install it the exact same way, only you're getting a sleeker, lighter TV mount that will naturally eliminate a lot of that extra weight added by heavy traditional racks. Plus, if you upgrade your tv and want to re use it, the same mount can be re-used and re installed into any tv up to 100". You don't need to purchase a whole new rack just to fit the size of your tv.

Mounting on Brick

Brick adds character to a room — but it’s not exactly installer-friendly. Traditional TV mounts often require heavy masonry bits, anchors, and a drill that feels like it belongs on a construction site.

HangSmart makes it simpler. Each kit comes with the hardware you need to drill small pilot holes and secure the mount with screws and anchors. The footprint of our mounts is slim, so you’re not left with massive bolts sticking out of your brickwork. The result? A floating TV or soundbar that looks clean without a wall full of holes.

Mounting on Concrete

Concrete is the toughest wall type, literally. It can hold almost anything, but most people don’t want to deal with hammer drills and oversized hardware. That’s where HangSmart’s design really helps.

For concrete, just use the supplied screws and anchors instead of nails. The anchors expand inside the hole, locking the mount in place. Because the mounts are compact, you only need a couple of small holes — not a grid of bolts like old-school racks require.

The end result is secure, streamlined, and just as easy to uninstall when you need to.
