Preventing Accidents: The Benefits of Professional TV Mounting.
When it comes to enhancing your home entertainment experience, mounting your television on the wall is an excellent option. Not only does it save space and offer a sleek look, but it also provides optimal viewing angles. However, there is a crucial aspect of TV mounting that cannot be overlooked: safety.
The Hidden Dangers of Unsecured TVs
According to Kidsafe, an estimated 2,600 Australians receive hospital treatment for injuries caused by toppling furniture and televisions each year, equating to approximately 50 people per week.
These statistics are alarming, but they highlight a critical safety issue in many homes. Since 2001, at least 22 children under the age of 9 have died in Australia from toppling furniture or televisions, with children under 3 years of age being at the greatest risk.
Young children are naturally curious and adventurous, often climbing onto furniture to reach objects that interest them. Unsecured TVs and furniture can easily become dangerous hazards, leading to tragic accidents. But it’s not just children who are at risk. Pets, too, can inadvertently knock over unsecured TVs, leading to potential injury and damage.
The Importance of Professional TV Mounting
To mitigate these risks, it is highly recommended to have your TV professionally mounted. Professional TV installers have the expertise and equipment to ensure that your television is securely attached to the wall, minimising the risk of it toppling over.
Here are a few key reasons to consider professional TV mounting
Proper Installation
Professionals understand the best practices for mounting TVs, ensuring that the brackets and mounts used are suitable for your wall type and TV size. This guarantees a stable and secure installation.
Safety First
Professionals prioritize safety, using high-quality mounts and securing them properly. They also ensure that all cables are safely managed and hidden, reducing tripping hazards and preventing curious children and pets from pulling on them.
Optimal Viewing Experience
In addition to safety, professional installers can help you find the best placement for your TV, taking into account the room layout and viewing angles. This enhances your overall viewing experience.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your TV is securely mounted by a professional provides peace of mind. You can trust that your installation meets safety standards and that your family, including your pets, are protected from potential hazards.
Mounting your TV on the wall can significantly enhance your home entertainment setup, but safety should always be the top priority. With the concerning statistics on injuries caused by toppling furniture and televisions, it’s clear that taking preventive measures is essential.
By opting for professional TV mounting, you can ensure that your television is securely and safely installed, providing you with peace of mind and a better viewing experience.
