Put wires in the wall
A safe, but time-consuming and financial way, to close the cord is to hide it inside the wall. Hidden wiring does not violate the attractive form of repair, it looks aesthetically pleasing and complete.
If the installation site is made of concrete, do not dispense with gating. This is a difficult, dusty solution that is only suitable for those who started a major overhaul and at the stage of rough finishing remembered the desire to hang the TV on the wall and hide the cord from it.
- To do this, you need to clearly draw a diagram where the wires will go, their beginning and the output of the route.
- The strobe in the wall is placed strictly diagonally or vertically to the nearest outlet or junction box.
- If you have already laid electric cables in the wall, arm yourself with equipment to detect hidden wiring before starting work.
Everything is much simpler if you need to place the TV on a wall made of drywall. Then mark the distance from the bracket to the nearest outlet, and stretch the wire in the cavity of the wall behind the building material.
