Commercial and Office TV Installation in Toronto

What Changes When the Screen Goes Into a Business

The bracket is the same one we would put up in a living room. What changes is the wall it goes on, the people looking at it, and the building rules around the job.

The wall is usually metal stud, not wood

Office and retail partition walls in the GTA are overwhelmingly light-gauge metal stud. A metal stud is a hollow section, so a lag bolt has nothing to grip; the screen goes up on toggle-style anchors rated for its actual weight, set through the stud, not on the wood screws that ship in the bracket box. Concrete and block walls take sleeve or wedge anchors drilled into the solid material. We identify the wall build before we choose the fixing, and the way we do that is set out on our TV wall mounting page.

Glass partitions can’t carry a mount

A glass meeting-room wall will not take a wall mount. In those rooms we look at a floor stand or a different wall instead, and we will tell you that when you send the photos rather than on the day.

Height is set by the room, not by habit

In a meeting room or boardroom, the height comes from the far end of the table: the screen has to be readable by the person sitting furthest away, which usually means mounting lower than people expect. In a reception area, waiting room or shop floor, people look at the screen standing up as well as sitting, so the centre line is worked out for both.

Two or more screens have to match each other

One screen only has to be level. Two on the same wall also have to sit at the same height and the same spacing, and the eye catches a few millimetres of difference between neighbouring panels straight away. Every position is set out and checked against the others before anything is drilled, and the cabling is taken to one tidy point. Several screens booked together cost less per screen than booking them one at a time. A true multi-panel display, where the screens combine into one picture, is handled as a video wall installation because the tolerances are tighter again.

Commercial Work We’ve Written Up

These are real jobs, with photos:

• Commercial TV setup in an office centre — two screens matched side by side on one wall for a currency exchange company’s customer-facing space.
• Office TV installation for Blair Technology Solutions — screens through the working areas of a technology company’s office, on metal-stud partitions.
• Two-screen installation for Direct Response Media Group — a repeat visit, with the signal and power following the routes from our earlier cabling job.
• Data wiring for Direct Response Media Group in Oakville — network runs pulled, terminated and dressed into the rack.
• Showroom TV installation in Vaughan — a display screen fixed into a finished tile and cabinet showroom wall.
• Industrial four-into-one screen installation — four panels set out as a single display.

Building Access, Insurance and Scheduling

We carry $2,000,000 commercial liability insurance and can send a certificate to your property manager or building operations team before we arrive — most commercial buildings ask for one, so it is worth requesting early. We work 9:00am to 8:00pm, seven days a week, which covers evening and weekend installs when drilling and dust need to stay away from staff or customers. Every installation carries our one-year material and workmanship warranty.

Screens are often only part of the job. We also handle monitor and monitor-arm installation, SmartBoard and interactive whiteboard mounting, projector and screen installation and structured low-voltage cabling. Anything that needs a new power outlet is work for a licensed electrician.
