Matching display mounting to your school’s wall types
School walls range from painted block to brick to drywall, and each one changes how a display is mounted. Knowing your wall type helps you choose between a standard mount, a recessed install, an enclosure or a branded wall system.

Why it matters
The wall decides which mounting will work
A mount that suits drywall over studs may not suit a block wall, and brick brings its own challenges. Recessing a screen means cutting into the wall. These details often surface late, after a display is chosen.
Ideas for Mounting and Wall Types
Standard touchscreen mount
A black standard mount holds screens from 32 to 80 inches on an existing wall.
Enhanced surface or recessed
The enhanced mount comes in surface or recessed versions, with custom colors and brand decals.
Half or full wall enclosures
Enclosures frame a 55 to 85 inch screen and are available in custom colors with brand decals.
Custom panels and wall wraps
Custom panels and wall wraps surround the screen with school-branded design.
WonderWall fabric graphics
WonderWall’s dye-sublimated fabric graphics work on rough or smooth wall surfaces, held in a discreet frame.
Freestanding when walls won’t work
A freestanding kiosk avoids wall mounting entirely where the wall is glass, historic or already full.
How it works with Hardware
Mounting and Wall Types, step by step.
Three steps
Identify your wall type
Ask facilities what the wall is made of and share a photo. Brick, block and drywall each point to different options.
Choose a matching mount
Compare wall-mounted bundles, enclosures and WonderWall in a free mockup of your space.
Confirm and install
Facilities confirms wall construction, mounting method and cable routing. We recommend self-install by facilities, IT or custodial staff, and your quote states any installation arrangements.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
Best practices
Tips to get it right.
Mounting and Wall Types tips
Find studs or plan backing
On drywall, locate studs or plan added backing before the screen goes up.
Decide on recessing early
A recessed install needs wall cutting and may need approval, so settle it before ordering.
Use anchors rated for masonry
Block and brick walls need anchors rated for the weight. Your facilities team should choose and install them.
Leave access for service
Plan a way to reach cables and the screen later without taking the wall apart.
