Recessed wall installations for a built-in look
A recessed installation sets the touchscreen into the wall instead of on it. It keeps hallways clear and makes the display look like part of the building, but it takes more planning than a surface mount.

Why it matters
Surface mounts can crowd narrow hallways
A screen on a standard mount sticks out from the wall, which can be a problem in a busy corridor or near a doorway. It can also look added on rather than designed. Recessing the screen solves both, if the wall allows it.
Ideas for Recessed Wall Installation
Enhanced mount, recessed
The Enhanced Touchscreen Mount comes in surface or recessed versions for 32-inch to 55-inch screens.
Custom colors and decals
Order the Enhanced mount in school colors with brand decals so the opening is framed.
Set into a history wall
Set a touchscreen into a mural or school history wall, as schools in Rocket’s installation gallery have done.
Records inside a hallway mural
Build athletic records into a mural with the screen set into the artwork.
Recessed beside trophy cases
Set a screen into the wall next to a trophy case to keep the walkway clear.
Custom wall installation
For a larger built-in look, a Custom Wall Installation pairs a 55-inch to 85-inch screen with a fully custom design.
How it works with Hardware
Recessed Wall Installation, step by step.
Three steps
Check what is inside the wall
Facilities confirms wall construction and whether a recess is possible. Share a photo with Rocket for a free mockup.
Plan the opening and cables
Agree on the opening size, cable routing, a nearby outlet and wired Ethernet or high-speed Wi-Fi before ordering.
Install the screen and launch
Your team completes the recess and mount, then connects the screen to power and the internet and launches.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Recessed Wall Installation tips
Involve facilities first
Recessing depends on what is behind the drywall or block. Get a facilities opinion before settling on a design.
Plan for service and airflow
Ask how the screen will be reached for service and how heat will escape before the opening is cut.
Time it with renovation work
If a wall is already being opened for a renovation, that is the easiest time to add a recess.
Check local building rules
Ask facilities to confirm any local rules about projections and openings in corridors.
