Floor vs. Ceiling TV Lifts

More and more homeowners are discovering the advantages to installing a TV lift. One of the truly affordable luxury items, TV lifts allow you to enjoy your television when you want to watch it while hiding it safely away when you don’t. This protects the TV. More importantly, it provides additional space. One of the biggest questions people ask when considering TV lifts is whether they should install a floor TV lift or a ceiling TV lift.

In the end, like most other things, it comes down to personal preference. With that said, however, either a ceiling TV lift or a floor TV lift will come with its own distinct advantages. Consider the following:

• Ceiling TV lifts are advantageous because they put the TV of of the reach of little hands. Children can still access and watch the TV by using the remote control, but you don’t need to worry about them knocking it over or otherwise damaging the TV.
• A floor TV lift is advantageous because it is easier to install. No need to drill into the ceiling. If you decide to remove or change the location of the TV lift later, it’s easier to cover the work up, because the floor is typically covered by carpet or other flooring material.
• Whether you get a floor TV lift or a ceiling TV lift from Inca TV Lift, you can expect ultra silent operation.
• A floor TV lift may be placed anywhere, but they are generally best when placed near walls or at the end of the bed. A ceiling TV lift may be placed anywhere it can be viewed.
• A floor TV lift makes cleaning and maintenance of the television set easier, simply by keeping the television closer to the ground.

While these are all things to consider, the most important factor when looking at TV lifts is how you want to watch your television. Where will you be most comfortable? What fits your lifestyle. Try this: go to the room where you are thinking about installing a lift and imagine yourself watching TV in the various places you would position a floor TV lift or ceiling TV lift. Actually sit where you would sit and “watch” where the TV will be. Which is more comfortable for you? All else being equal, that’s the question which should determine whether you choose a floor TV lift or a ceiling TV lift.
