Quick answer
Yes — Sky Glass can be wall mounted, but the installation instructions depend on which Sky Glass generation you have. Sky publishes separate guidance for the original Sky Glass and for Sky Glass Gen 2 / Sky Glass Air, and Sky currently strongly recommends using a professional installer. Identify the exact model first, then plan the wall structure, mounting hardware, finished height, power and connectivity around the current Sky instructions.
Sky Glass looks made for wall mounting, but it is not a job to approach as "just another TV" without first checking which version is in front of you. Sky's own current wall-mounting page separates the original Sky Glass instructions from the Gen 2 and Sky Glass Air guidance, so old videos and forum posts can easily describe hardware that is not the same as yours.
The sensible order is identify the Sky Glass model, read the matching Sky instructions, confirm the wall can take the intended fixing system, then decide the final height and cable plan before drilling.
Sky's current advice: use the instructions for your exact generation
Sky's official wall-mounting guide currently provides separate information for the original Sky Glass and for Sky Glass Gen 2 / Sky Glass Air. Sky also says it strongly recommends using a professional installer and following the Sky Wall Mounting Instructions.
That matters because a guide written for an older Sky Glass should not automatically be treated as the installation manual for a newer set. Before buying hardware or marking the wall, use the current official Sky Glass wall-mounting guide and select the instructions for the television you actually own.
What needs checking before a Sky Glass is mounted?
Can Sky Glass go on a plasterboard wall?
Potentially, but "plasterboard" does not tell you enough about the structure. A timber stud wall, metal stud wall, plasterboard over masonry and dot-and-dab wall are different construction types even though the visible surface can look almost identical.
The mounting solution has to transfer the load into an appropriate part of the wall using a fixing arrangement suitable for that construction and the television. Do not choose fixings simply because the packet says "plasterboard" without understanding what is behind the board.
Our broader guide Can You Mount a TV on Plasterboard? explains the wall-construction problem in more detail.
What about dot-and-dab walls?
Dot-and-dab can look like a hollow plasterboard wall when you tap it, but the board is bonded to masonry with adhesive rather than forming a conventional stud cavity. The gap behind the board, the masonry substrate and the fixing method all matter.
It can also affect cable concealment because the shallow gap is often interrupted by adhesive. That is why we inspect both the mounting route and the cable route rather than promising a particular finish from a photograph alone.
Can Sky Glass go on a media wall?
Yes where the media wall has been built to support the intended load and mounting system, but the critical phrase is built to support it. Decorative plasterboard alone is not a structural plan.
If the media wall is still at first-fix stage, decide the TV position, structural backing, power, connectivity and any cable routes before the face is closed. That gives far more control than trying to discover suitable structure after decoration is complete.
How high should Sky Glass be mounted?
There is no special universal Sky Glass height. Start with the same viewing principle as another wall-mounted television: consider the natural seated eye line, the physical screen dimensions, the room layout and any furniture or feature underneath it.
Then calculate the mounting hardware position from the actual Sky instructions rather than assuming the bracket sits at the screen centre. Our TV mounting height guide explains the eye-line and bracket-geometry process.
Can Sky Glass be mounted above a fireplace?
The question is not only whether the wall can physically hold the television. The final height, heat exposure, clearances and the requirements of both products have to work together.
A fireplace often pushes the screen much higher than an eye-line-first installation. Check the current Sky product information and the fireplace manufacturer's instructions for the specific setup rather than relying on a blanket temperature or clearance figure from another television.
Plan the internet connection as part of the wall-mounting job
Sky Glass depends on broadband for its television service, so a visually perfect wall position with unreliable network coverage is not a complete installation. Check the actual connectivity where the set will live rather than assuming a strong Wi-Fi signal elsewhere in the room means the final location will be fine.
If Wi-Fi is weak at the proposed position, solve the network problem properly rather than moving the television purely to chase signal. Our Internet & Wi-Fi service covers home connectivity and network improvements where the TV setup exposes a wider coverage issue.
How do you hide Sky Glass cables?
Decide the finish before the mount is installed. Depending on the wall, options can include neat surface trunking, a suitable concealed low-voltage route, conduit, or first-fix cabling within a media wall.
Power needs to be treated separately from low-voltage signal cabling, and any electrical alterations should be handled appropriately for the property. See How to Hide TV Cables on a Wall-Mounted TV for the full comparison.
Do you need extra HDMI or other cables with Sky Glass?
That depends on what else you intend to connect. Before the TV is mounted, list any console, external source, audio equipment or other device that will be used and check the current Sky Glass connections for your model.
The objective is not to bury a random bundle of spare leads. It is to make sure the real equipment has a sensible route and remains serviceable if something changes later.
Why a Sky Glass installation should be planned before drilling
- Identify the exact Sky Glass generation and size.
- Open the current Sky wall-mounting instructions for that model.
- Inspect the wall construction and choose the appropriate structural fixing approach.
- Agree the screen height from the real viewing position.
- Plan power, broadband/network coverage and any connected equipment.
- Calculate the mount position from the actual hardware and television rather than guessing from the screen outline.
- Mount, connect and test the complete setup.
Can we wall mount Sky Glass for you?
Yes. Our Sky Glass wall-mounting service covers Stockport and surrounding areas, with the wall construction, mounting method, cable finish and setup considered together. For other televisions, see the main TV wall mounting service.
The important point is that we do not treat a current Sky Glass Gen 2 or Sky Glass Air as though an old Gen-1 video automatically applies. The job starts with the current instructions for the actual TV in the room.
Frequently asked questions
Can Sky Glass be wall mounted?
Yes. Sky publishes official wall-mounting instructions and currently strongly recommends using a professional installer. Use the guidance for the exact Sky Glass generation you own before selecting hardware or marking the wall.
Are Sky Glass Gen 1 and Gen 2 mounted the same way?
Do not assume so. Sky's current help page separates the original Sky Glass wall-mounting guide from the Sky Glass Gen 2 / Sky Glass Air guide, so follow the instructions for your exact model.
Can Sky Glass be mounted on plasterboard?
Potentially, if the wall construction and fixing system are suitable for the television and the current mounting instructions. The visible plasterboard surface alone does not tell you whether the wall is timber stud, metal stud, dot-and-dab or another construction.
How high should Sky Glass be wall mounted?
There is no universal Sky Glass height. Start from the viewers' natural seated eye line and physical screen dimensions, then adjust for furniture, room use and other constraints before calculating the hardware position from the actual mounting instructions.
Does Wi-Fi matter when wall mounting Sky Glass?
Yes. Sky Glass is an internet-delivered TV platform, so the final position needs dependable broadband/network connectivity as well as a suitable wall and mounting method.
