H guys,Looking to mount an LCD onto a wall but wondering the best way to identify what material the wall is? Are there easy way to test?Thanks in advance!!
the age of the home should tell you that. If its an older home you'll mostly likely have lath and plaster, if its newer .. it'll definitely be drywall. The best way to be certain is to take off a wall switch and inspect the walls them self. You can usually look at a corner inside a wall switch. Btw, if you hand the anchors for the lcd tv into studs it wont matter what kind of walls you got. Use a stud finder.

Is it better to use a mortar or and adhesive to dot and dab plaster board to walls?David?
If the background you are fixing to is very rough then I would dot and dab with bonding compound. If the background is straight and true then I would use 2 by 1 or 2 by 1.5 battens. Then simply screw the plasterboard to the timber making sure the battens are centered according to the width of the sheet. Normally 1200 is the size of the slab so your battens will be 600 on center vertically with one batten running horizontally on top and one on the bottom that will also give you something to fix the skirting board to. If you decide to dot and dab, fixing skirting boards and corner beads will have to be stuck on by adhesive. Bonding compound can be used for corner beads as long as you sponge off any excess leaving room for the finish skim coat.

Plain, ,just installed, raw plasterboard? I would think that would be fine. If it's painted, you might need to rough it up a little. If it's papered, you should probably remove the existing paper.
