As I catch bits and pieces about the airport tragedy in Louisiana in which a display containing flat panel TVs fell forward on a family; killing their young son and injuring others - this is a reminder that safety is so important. We do commercial as well as residential and from our first commercial work in 1990 installing TVs and music systems in malls across New England there is no substitute for common sense as well as experience.
Anchoring systems should be solid and far under stressed to their rated capacity. Surfaces should be considered; drywall was meant to help fireproof and hold paint - never to support speakers or TVs. And newer construction products like steel studs and plastic anchors should not be relied upon to prevent injury.
Experience - care in installation - knowledge of the products and demands of the installation are so important; whether its Logan Airport or Johnny Smith's bedroom plasma TV.
Need expert installation? Questioning an existing or future installation? Give me a call; most job surveys are free as are our quotes.
