TV Wall Mounting Singapore: Condo vs HDB Rules, Brackets and Costs

TV wall mounting sounds simple — until you discover HDB’s rules on concrete-drilling, conduit, and fire-rated doors. This guide covers the practicalities.

HDB vs Condo: The Key Difference

HDB walls are usually lean concrete or brick. Condo walls may be hollow partitions or concrete, depending on the build. A concrete wall requires hammer-drilling and wall-plugs; a hollow wall needs toggle bolts.

Bracket Types Explained

• Fixed: TV sits flush to wall. Clean look, no angle adjustment.
• Tilting: Small movement for glare reduction. Good for higher mounts.
• Full-motion (articulating): Most flexible, best for corner installs or multi-position rooms.

Hidden Wiring and Conduits

Surface conduit in HDB is acceptable. Recessed chasing into concrete requires HDB approval if the depth is significant. Clipped trunking on the surface is the most common, low-risk approach.

Prices

Small TV wall-mount (32–43”): $40–$80. 55–65” with full-motion bracket: $100–$180. Cable concealment adds $30–$80 depending on wall type and conduit length.
