Stacked stone fireplaces are one of the most challenging surfaces to mount a TV on, and this Plymouth, Minnesota homeowner had a beautiful one that needed a 65-inch TV installed above it. We used a tilt mounting bracket and drilled directly into the stone using a hammer drill with masonry bits.
The key to stacked stone installations is finding the right anchor points. The stone surface is uneven, so we use spacers to ensure the bracket sits level against the wall. Every anchor needs to be drilled deep enough into solid material behind the stone veneer to support the weight of the TV securely.
Stacked stone is one of the trickiest surfaces we work with. The stones vary in thickness and density, and the mortar joints can be narrow. We always test drill to confirm we're getting solid purchase before committing to the final anchor points. The tilt bracket is a great choice over stone because it keeps the TV close to the wall while still allowing a slight downward angle for comfortable viewing from below.
