Step 1: framing the wall and the media niche
The wall was built out from the original so the TV cables and outlets sit inside it, out of sight. A long recessed niche was framed under the TV spot for the media gear, and the outlets were placed so the TV hides them.
Then the whole wall was covered in cement board, not regular drywall. Large porcelain panels are heavy, and cement board holds the tile adhesive far better.
Step 2: setting the large porcelain panels
Each panel is set from the bottom up, starting with the row under the niche. The veining is laid out before anything goes on the wall, so the pattern flows from one panel to the next instead of looking like a grid of tiles.
Why the yellow clips matter
Big panels show every tiny step between them. The yellow clips are a leveling system: they hold each edge flush with the next panel while the adhesive cures, so light across the wall shows one flat surface. They snap off once it’s set, and the joints are grouted.
How much does a porcelain TV wall cost in Atlanta?
It depends on the size of the wall, the panels you choose, any niche or shelving, and whether outlets or cables need to move. Send a photo of your wall and its rough size, and Ramzi will give you a price before any work begins. Estimates are free.
