Sleek Motorized Ceiling Mount Styles


Having a motorized ceiling mount is a great addition to any home. They offer ease of use, affordability, and space saving designs. Here are a few options.

Back Plates

These are the most popular style. They fit directly behind the television and are virtually unseen once installed. A back plate motorized mount will generally give you full tilt capability, as well as a large swivel area. These are designed for smaller televisions, usually under 40 inches.

Encased
For larger televisions, you may want to consider an encasement. Instead of fitting directly on the back of the television, these have arms and bars that hug the television snugly in place around the frame. They offer all the advantages of a back plate with full range of motion, but they give you added security for your heavier television.

Retractable
The retractable mounts are growing more popular. They are available for both large and small televisions, are virtually invisible behind the television, and offer full range of motion. The unique part of this type of mount is the ability to extend outwards toward the center of the room. The mount has a motorized arm that resembles an accordion, giving you even more options with viewing.
