Wall-Smart manufactures 3 types of ceiling & wall mounts, for 3 installation types - New Construction, Retrofit & Solid Surface.
New Construction MountsCan I get the mount in any color?
Wall-Smart New Construction flush mounts are supplied unpainted. The mounts should be painted after installation along with the rest of the wall in the desired color and texture. Can I install the mount in any thickness drywall?
All products are designed for 1/2“ drywall unless specified otherwise. There is a 1/8” shim pack for 5/8” drywall (10-01-067). For mounting solutions in other thichicknesses, please contact us. Are New Construction mounts suited for concrete/brick wall installations?
Although Wall-Smart products are designed to be installed in drywall construction, the products may be installed in concrete walls using a Wall-Smart concrete installation box/adaptor - an additional back box that enables flush installation. Each Wall-Smart product type has a suitable concrete installation box. See our online catalog for details Are the New Construction mounts easy to install?
It is as easy to install as any other drywall installation. We recommend using a drywall expert to install our flush mounts. Retrofit MountsAre the Retrofit mounts easy to install?
The installation is very straightforward and does not require drywall work or painting. Takes about 10-15 minutes to install. Can I choose the color of the bezel?
The Retrofit mounts are supplied painted black or white. There is also an unpainted version, so you can paint it with the wall finish. Are Retrofit mounts flush with the ceiling/wall?
The Retrofit mounts are nearly flush, and protrude 0.16" (4mm) from the surface. Solid Surface MountsWhich surfaces can a Solid Surface mount be installed in?
Our Solid Surface mounts are designed for surfaces such as wood, metal, partition walls, marble, glass, etc. How is this installation different from New Construction installation?
Solid Surface mounts are installed from the back of the wall, whereas New Construction mounts are installed from the front of the wall. The mounts also require precise routing in the surface, and have depth calibration screws to adjust to the surface's thickness. General FAQ for all types of InstallationsIs the mounted device accessible?
Yes, ALL devices installed with Wall-Smart are accessible for daily use or service. Will I hear the device's audio once installed in-wall?
Yes, however, for the best audio quality, please use a mount with audio grills. Do the mounts effect the performance of devices such as access points?
Wall-Smart mounts are made of moisture-resistant MDF that is transparent to RF. How do you flush mount devices requiring air flow, like thermostats and temperature sensors?
For thermostats, one option is to recess the mount and connect it to an external temperature sensor. Another option is to design a mount with ventilation grills. For temperature sensors, a flush can be designed with either a larger gap around its front edge, or with ventilation grills. Do Wall-Smart products for iPad fit newest models of iPad/mini/Air/Pro?
Wall-Smart offers wall mounts for all iPad models including iPad Air 5, iPad 10.2" Gen 9, iPad mini 6, iPad Pro 11" Gen3, and iPad Pro 12.9” Gen5. Can the iPad be installed horizontally?
The wall mounts for iPad Air 5, iPad 10.2" Gen 9, iPad mini 6, iPad Pro 11" Gen3, and iPad Pro 12.9” Gen5 may be installed in any orientation. How do you power up the iPad?
Our Invisible New Construction, Solid Surface and Retrofit mounts for iPad Air 4&5, iPad 10.2" Gen 8&9, iPad mini 5&6, iPad Pro 11" Gen2&3, and iPad Pro 12.9” Gen4&5 are supplied with a POE to USB converter. Does the POE provide Ethernet and power?
WALL-SMART offers two versions, one with power only and one with power + Ethernet. Data Rate: 10/100 Will .
What sized access point mount/Uni-INWall should I choose for my device?
Please check the size tables for the internal dimensions of the Access Point Mounts and Uni-INWall enclosures to find the suitable size. Inevitably, hardware changes will happen - will my Wall-Smart adaptor be compatible with future models?
We make considerable efforts to develop the adapters such that few changes as possible will be required to upgrade the adapter for new equipment. However, we cannot guarantee that equipment manufacturers will not implement significant modifications in the installed equipment design. Since each mount is designed specifically for the device, changes may apply to dimensions, audio grills, and other engineering factors. Is there a lockable version?
A Hidden lock version in which the door opens only with a key being held in a particular position can be custom made to order. I cannot find certain products in your list. Is it possible to design a mount for the product I represent/manufacture?
Sure, Wall-Smart designs and manufactures custom mounts for different 3rd party manufacturers. Please contact us for more information. Which products (besides drywall U channels) can I use as wall mount horizontal supports?
In case you do not want to prepare horizontal wall-mount supports (connecting between vertical studs) out of drywall U channels, you may use some of the following products (or similar): Screw Gun Box Bracket - For Between Studs TSGB16 or TSGB24 by ERICO International Corporation Or B-Line Telescoping Box Mounting Brackets BB2-16T or BB2-24T by Eaton (Cooper) Other questions?
