Plaster walls are common in older Minnetonka homes and many newer construction builds. They're elegant, they age beautifully, and they're a hallmark of craftsmanship. But they're also one of the most challenging surfaces for TV mounting. Plaster is delicate, prone to cracking, and fundamentally different from drywall in terms of anchoring techniques. When a homeowner wants to mount a 75-inch display on plaster, it requires specialized expertise. We recently completed a 75-inch installation on plaster that showcases the precision and technical skill required to do this job correctly.

The Challenge of Plaster Mounting

Plaster presents unique challenges that most standard TV installation companies simply aren't equipped to handle. Plaster is brittle and less forgiving than modern drywall. Traditional drywall anchors don't work reliably in plaster. Drilling requires careful technique to avoid cracks that can spread throughout the wall. And the work is inherently messy—plaster dust is fine, persistent, and pervasive if you're not meticulous about containment.

This is why plaster mounting demands an entirely clean work area throughout the entire installation process. Not just at the end, but at every step. Protecting the surrounding wall, the floor, and the home's contents is non-negotiable. Plaster installation is as much about precision and cleanliness as it is about technical skill.

Recent Minnetonka 75-Inch Plaster Installation

We recently installed a 75-inch TV on a plaster wall in a Minnetonka home using a tilt mounting bracket. This is a substantial display—75 inches commands attention and delivers a truly immersive viewing experience. The tilt bracket provides flexibility to adjust the viewing angle, eliminating glare and optimizing comfort from different positions in the room.

The installation required specialized plaster-mounting techniques. We identified the location for the TV, located solid backing within the wall, and used the appropriate anchoring hardware specifically designed for plaster substrates. Each hole was drilled with precision, care taken to avoid stress cracks. Throughout the process, we maintained a completely clean work area, containing plaster dust and protecting the home's interior from the inevitable mess that comes with plaster work.

The result is a secure, professional installation of a large-format 75-inch display on a challenging surface. The TV is perfectly positioned, the bracket functions flawlessly, and the surrounding plaster remains pristine.

Why 75-Inch Matters

A 75-inch display is genuinely large. It's not an "oversized" TV—it's a premium entertainment investment that delivers theater-quality viewing in a residential setting. At 75 inches, the display becomes a focal point, and the installation must match that level of quality. A sloppy plaster installation, chipped walls, and visible dust becomes magnified when mounting a display of this size and prominence. Precision and professionalism aren't optional—they're essential.
