TV Pillar Mount – Beware of rip-offs
Residential Condos & commercial buildings with lots of glass in the exterior are reinforced with pillars in the inner part of the building. Older building used the exterior walls as structural columns. These pillars are usually on the corners of most buildings and of course in the interior part spaced out. This occurrence leaves no option to hang items that you would like opposed to hanging on a wall.
Drilling pillar/columns is not the best best practice and is against many condo boards. Imagine if everyone is mounting a TV and drilling couple of holes each time it can in the long term create a unsafe environment. Recently there was a condo collapse in Miami. We dont know the reason for the collapse but we need to know that condos are multistory building and the structure is something you don mess around with.
How To Avoid Structural Damage in Condos with pillars?
The Champlain Towers South condo in Surfside Miami Fluoride picture below has thought us a big lesson that large condos are susceptible to structural damage. Condos have policies in place to maintain the structural integrity of its building. Condo residents, owners & tenants have to responsibly take measures to ensure that any renovation, changes and drilling of building is in accordance with the building guidelines. Where inspections and professional consultation is required the due process is followed. Cracks, leaks and visible signs of deterioration should be address immediately.
Can I mount a TV on a Structural column or Structural pillar?
