Light Grey Chicago Concrete (F186 ST9) is reminiscent of a cool-looking concrete surface that is often used in interior and furniture design. On large surfaces, it has a very authentic effect, as fewer repetitions are visible due to the XL repeat. The Smoothtouch Matt surface texture creates the matching cool matt feel.

Crafted from sustainably sourced Egger MFC (melamine-faced chipboard), these luxury TV panels are both scratch and moisture resistant - ensuring easy maintenance and long-lasting durability. Each board is 18mm thick and available in a variety of sizes designed to suit your TV, each providing a 20cm border around all sides. You can follow our recommended sizing or choose a custom look to match your style.

Available in an array of lavish finishes that bring a real sense of opulence to your living space.

Fitting Instructions for TV Backboard

Tools & Materials Needed:

  • Drill and appropriate drill bits
  • Screws (at least 6 recommended)
  • Screwdriver or impact driver
  • Spirit level
  • Stud finder
  • Measuring tape
  • Timber for framing (2x1 dressed timber or similar)
  • Wall anchors (if not fixing into studs)
  • LED strip kit (optional)
  • TV wall bracket (optional)
  • Saw/router for cable access hole
  • Pencil and masking tape for marking

1. Electrical Preparation

  • Install a power socket: Ensure a socket is installed at the desired height and location on the wall where your TV will plug in.

  • Mark and router a cable access hole: On the backboard, choose a spot that will be hidden once the TV is mounted. Use a router or hole saw to create an access point for cables.

2. Frame the Wall

  • Build a frame using timber: Use 2x1 dressed timber or suitable cut-offs to create a timber framework on the wall. This creates a recess behind the backboard (approx. 18mm, matching the board thickness).

  • Leave a 50mm border: Position framing timber at least 50mm in from each edge of the backboard to keep it hidden once installed.

  • Pack out the center: Add support in the center area to prevent the board from flexing or bowing when screwed to the wall.

3. Mark Stud Locations

  • Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall.

  • Mark the stud positions on the floor or base of the wall using masking tape for reference when placing the board.

4. Mount the Backboard

  • Position the backboard: Rest it on a stable support to hold it in place during installation (e.g. blocks or a second person).

  • Align with the studs and ensure it is level.

  • Fix the board to the wall: Screw through the backboard into the studs, using a minimum of 6 screws. Place screws where they will be hidden by the mounted TV.

5. Optional Add-ons

  • LED Lighting: Fit the LED strip around the back of the board in the recess created by the frame. Ensure cable management routes through the access hole.

  • TV Bracket: Install the TV bracket directly onto the front of the backboard following the bracket's own fitting guide. Ensure you screw into reinforced points of the board and framing for security.
