The optimal screen centre height is 1.10-1.20 metres from the floor when viewed sitting on a sofa. For walkways or kitchens, 1.40-1.60 m. We measure it before marking. We diagnose the source of humidity before covering anything: condensation, filtration, or capillarity. We apply anti-mould products, breathable paints, and, when necessary, insulation solutions to prevent the problem from returning in a few months. We replace broken tiles or renovate entire bathrooms and kitchens when paint isn't enough. We coordinate painting and tiling in a single intervention to reduce time and avoid having to call multiple tradespeople.

Plasterboard (laminated gypsum board) is the modern material for ceilings and partition walls in recent constructions. It's very fragile without the correct plug. For light loads up to 5 kg, a tilting nail is sufficient. For medium loads, there are metal plasterboard anchors like Molly plugs that expand behind the board. For heavy loads like large TVs, you need to locate the support metal studs behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the stud. For small pictures up to 2 kg, a picture hook or nail is sufficient on most walls except tiles and plasterboard. For medium pictures from 2 to 8 kg, use a specific plug for the material with a 4-5 mm screw. For large pictures and mirrors up to 15 kg, use a reinforced plug and a 6 mm screw. For LCD TV mounts up to 50 inches and a real weight of 25 kg (including the mount's weight), use two anchor points to a stud or pillar with an 8 mm screw. The first mistake is using a standard wall drill bit on tiles. The tip slips, and the tile cracks. You need to use a ceramic drill bit with a diamond tip. The second mistake is using impact drilling on tiles. Vibrations crack the tile from within, and fine cracks appear weeks later. You need to drill without impact. The third mistake is not marking the centre properly. A pencil mark on masking tape around the spot prevents the drill bit from slipping.
