TV mounting to a Hardie board with metal studs
Most TV mounting questions here assume that walls are made of drywall/gypsum board, and there aren't many that answer regarding fiber cement boards. The divider wall at my condo unit is about 5 inches thick at most, with both sides using hardieflex, and use metal studs. My basis for the metal studs is that the wall opposite the divider is also using hardieflex and when I braced a bookshelf to it, I found the studs to be metal, so it only makes sense that even the divider wall uses metal studs I worry that there might not be enough clearance to use toggle bolts. TV is about 55 inches large. The wall mount is a basic one, not an articulating one. It mounts two parallel bars where the TV will just hang from. Opening up the wall to install plywood between the studs is a last resort for me. So, what are my other options? submitted by /u/ThespianMask [link] [comments]
