Flat & Fixed TV Mount Installation in Atlanta, GA
If you want your television to look like a piece of art floating on the wall -- thin, flush, and perfectly level -- a flat fixed mount is the cleanest way to get there. With a profile as slim as half an inch, fixed mounts press the screen tight against the wall surface, eliminating the bulk of articulating arms and delivering a minimalist aesthetic that interior designers love. Express Mounting installs these low-profile brackets daily across Metro Atlanta, anchoring them securely into studs and concealing every cable for a truly seamless finish.

The cleanest, most minimal TV installation available
A flat fixed mount is the gold standard for rooms with a single, dedicated viewing position. Bedrooms where you always watch from the same spot, home theaters with tiered seating, and living rooms with a centered sofa all benefit from the low-profile elegance of a fixed bracket. Without pivot points or extending arms, there is nothing to loosen, drift, or rattle over time -- the TV stays exactly where you put it, permanently level and flush.
Express Mounting brings this simplicity to life with precision craftsmanship. We start by scanning the wall for studs, plumbing, and electrical runs, then mark drill points using a laser level accurate to 1/32 of an inch. The mount rail is lag-bolted into at least two studs with 5/16-inch or 3/8-inch grade-5 hardware, torqued to spec and pull-tested on-site. Once the TV clicks into the rail, we verify level one final time with a digital inclinometer. Cable concealment follows -- HDMI, power, and audio lines disappear into the wall through a recessed low-voltage box and exit behind your console or entertainment center. The finished installation looks as though the TV was built into the architecture of your home.
Ultra Low-Profile Installation
Fixed mounts hold the TV as close to the wall as physically possible -- typically 0.5 to 1.5 inches depending on cable clearance and VESA adapter depth. This creates a picture-frame effect that complements modern decor, minimalist interiors, and gallery walls. For Samsung Frame TVs and LG Gallery OLED models that are designed to look like artwork, a flush mount is essential to maintain the intended aesthetic. We carry zero-gap adapters for these specialty panels so the screen sits virtually flat against the drywall.
Precision Level Alignment
Nothing undermines a sleek wall mount faster than a TV that is slightly crooked. Our technicians use a self-leveling laser that projects a reference line across the entire wall, accurate to within 1/32 of an inch over eight feet. Drill points are marked against this line, not against a bubble level sitting on the mount itself, eliminating parallax error. After hanging the TV we verify with a digital inclinometer and make micro-adjustments using the mount's built-in leveling screws until the display is mathematically perfect.
Secure Stud Mounting
Every fixed mount we install is anchored into a minimum of two wall studs using lag bolts rated for at least four times the TV's weight. We locate studs with both electronic and magnetic finders, then confirm depth and material with a borescope when the wall composition is uncertain. For steel-stud construction common in Atlanta condos and high-rises, we use self-drilling toggle bolts or install a plywood backer plate behind the drywall. The result is a mount that will not flex, creak, or pull free -- even if someone bumps into the TV during a party.
Clean Aesthetic Finish
A flush-mounted TV loses its appeal if cables dangle beneath it. We conceal all wiring inside the wall using a code-compliant recessed power kit and a low-voltage pass-through bracket. Power travels through its own Romex run or a listed power-relocation kit, while HDMI and audio cables ride in a separate low-voltage pathway. The only visible elements are the screen itself and, if desired, a thin decorative frame. For clients who want absolute minimalism, we can install a wireless HDMI transmitter to eliminate signal cables entirely.
Ideal for Samsung Frame and LG Gallery TVs
Samsung's The Frame and LG's Gallery series are designed to double as art displays when not in active use, and they demand a mount that complements that vision. We install Samsung's No Gap Wall Mount and LG's slim bracket, ensuring the TV sits flush with zero tilt or offset. We also configure Art Mode, upload your personal photo gallery, and calibrate ambient brightness sensors so the display adjusts automatically to room lighting. The final look is indistinguishable from a framed canvas.
Fixed mounts vs. tilting mounts: which is right for you?
The primary difference is adjustability. A fixed mount locks the TV parallel to the wall with zero movement -- the screen angle is permanently set at installation. A tilting mount adds 5-15 degrees of downward angle, which helps reduce glare from overhead lighting or windows opposite the screen. Fixed mounts sit slightly closer to the wall (0.5-1 inch vs. 1.5-2.5 inches for tilting) and have fewer moving parts, making them more durable over time. Choose fixed if your TV is at or near eye level when seated and the room has controllable lighting. Choose tilting if the TV will be mounted higher than eye level -- above a console in a room with high ceilings, for example -- or if you have a window directly across from the screen that creates persistent glare. During your consultation our technician will sit in your primary viewing spot, measure the proposed screen center height relative to eye level, and recommend the bracket type that delivers the best picture quality from your actual seating position.
Ideal rooms for flat fixed TV mounts
Fixed mounts perform best in rooms with a single, well-defined viewing area. Master bedrooms are the most popular application -- the TV faces the bed from a wall-mounted position at eye level, and since you always watch from the same spot, swivel and tilt are unnecessary. Dedicated home theaters with permanent seating rows are another natural fit; the screen is calibrated once for the optimal seat and never moves. Living rooms with a centered sofa directly facing the TV wall work beautifully, especially in modern or mid-century-styled homes where visible hardware would clash with the design language. Home offices and conference rooms benefit from fixed mounts for the same reason: the screen serves a single desk or table position. We also install fixed mounts in commercial settings like lobbies, waiting rooms, and restaurant dining areas across Metro Atlanta where a clean, professional appearance matters and no one needs to adjust the viewing angle.
Wall types and mounting considerations
The wall material behind your drywall determines the hardware and technique we use. Standard wood-framed walls with 2x4 or 2x6 studs on 16-inch centers are the most straightforward -- lag bolts driven directly into lumber provide excellent holding power. Steel-stud walls, common in Atlanta condos, town- homes, and commercial spaces, require toggle bolts or snap-toggle anchors rated for the TV's weight, and we often add a plywood backer plate for extra security. Plaster-and-lath walls in older homes like those in Inman Park, Virginia-Highland, and Decatur need longer fasteners that penetrate through the plaster and lath into the underlying stud. Concrete and cinder-block walls in basements or loft conversions call for Tapcon screws or sleeve anchors with epoxy. Brick accent walls require masonry bits and lead anchors drilled into mortar joints to avoid cracking the brick face. We carry hardware for every scenario in our service vans and assess your specific wall on-site before drilling.
TV size and viewing distance recommendations
Mounting a TV at the right height is only half the equation -- distance from the screen matters just as much. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers suggests a 30-degree viewing angle for an immersive experience, which translates to sitting approximately 1.2 to 1.6 times the screen's diagonal measurement away. For a 55-inch TV, that is roughly 5.5 to 7.3 feet. A 65-inch display works best at 6.5 to 8.7 feet, and a 75-inch screen shines at 7.5 to 10 feet. Sitting too close to a 4K panel is less of an issue than with older 1080p displays because pixel density is high enough to remain invisible at closer distances, but sitting too far makes the investment in a large screen feel wasted. During your consultation we measure your seating distance, factor in the room's width and ambient light, and recommend the screen size that fills your field of vision without overwhelming the space.
