How To Mount A Projector Without Drilling

Projectors are now very common in modern home plans. Gone are the times when the projectors are used in business meetings or we can see them only in church for blessings.

These days many houses have a home theatre setup where the projectors are also necessary to place due to restrictions of going out to watch a movie.

But in an older house, many people don’t like to drill their walls mainly when they are living in a rented apartment. So, to overcome this problem they are always looking for a guide on how to mount a projector without drilling?

Yes! People have been searching for ways to mount a projector without drilling the walls or roofs on the internet. After a lot of research and experimentation, we have come up with a few ideas and a solution for you to set up your unit without drilling any hole on the wall.

How to Mount a Projector without Drilling?

Today there are some projectors that don’t come with a mounting system which also becomes a challenging task to select the right projector that supports mounting.

Also, selecting the right place to mount the device without damaging the property is another major task. So, you should know other ways to mount a projector without drilling where you are living.

Nobody likes a small screen experience at home while consuming their favorite web series or movies when there is a time pandemic going on. Everyone wants a movie experience and wants to enjoy a setup like an IMAX without paying for the movie theater.

Using Suction Cup Mounts

You might have seen those movies of James Bond where he climbs the walls using cupped equipment; yes, that is called suction.

Air suction is a part of vacuum technology used in the industry for multiple purposes. Some of them pick up fragile material without breaking it or lift an object without any hand smudges.

The same technology can be used to custom build a projector boom with a suction end to mount the projector without drilling.

The best part about this method is that it can be used on any mounting assistance or on a stand. From this, your creativity based on your space or location of mount would serve you the best.

Using Strong Adhesive (Temporary Solution)

The below method we are recommending if you are looking for a temporary solution for mounting your projector for a few hours. “This solution you will only on your risk we at projectors place will not be liable for your losses.”

 You might have heard about the double tape, which you generally use to hang articles on the walls. If you have not heard about it, it is a tape with adhesive on both sides. So that one side can be used to stick on to the wall, and the other can be used to attach the individual items.

In the same way, you can use it to mount projectors without drilling, but the tape, as mentioned above, in particular, cannot be used. Every tape has a weight limit that it can handle based on the unit’s weight you want to hang.

If you exceed the load, the unit will fall. Since projectors are heavy, you must get the commercial adhesive tape or patch that could handle the projector’s weight. The branding package of the patch or tape will have the weight limit mentioned in it.

If you wonder how reliable the glue mechanism is, then even metal glues are available in the industry, which is used to fix two metal pieces together. So yes, they are reliable to use.

Using Projector Stands [Recommended Method]

If wall or roof mounting is not mandatory for you, this is the best option. You will find height-adjustable projector stands like tripods and mic pods in the stores. This stand can be used to place projectors at the required heights. It will just take a little space of your floor in the venue but no holes on the walls as promised.

Depending on the projector type and weight, you may have to invest in a quality tripod or stand as you should not be risking an expensive projector over saving a few bucks buying a cheaper tripod.

The placement of the stand should be done in the right way. It should not face any human tackles while placing the projector on it.

Using a Table Mount

Table mounts and racks are pretty standard in the modern interior designing world. Every home these days have a modular kitchen or modular television multimedia rack with adjustable rack sizes and reconfigurable shelves.

One can use even the empty shelves of the showcase or TV rack to mount the projector if that’s available.

If you still don’t have a showcase, then a table is enough as you can get the mountable shelves and racks from the stores. The stand can be then used to place the projector.

Utilizing the pre-Established Props

In your home find out if there are any pre-established hooks or any extra mounts are available or not. For example, when we build our home or you are living in an apartment, we always put ceiling fan hooks at two to 3 places but sometimes due to some reason we hook the fan on a single ceiling.

So, in this case, we can use these extra hooks to mount a projector without drilling any extra holes in our living place.
