Installing a Fireplace and fitting a TV above?
It is now becoming popular to install a TV's above a Fireplace. At CVO Fire we have a wide range of fireplace designs which are suitable to mount a TV above. This type of installation means that there is no need for a hearth or surround and a TV on a stand, all of which can take up considerable space up within a room. By removing these items from the floor and positioning them on the wall it makes the available room space more contemporary and makes furniture planning easier. With careful planning it is also possible to hide the DVD, surround sound system and all cabelling within the tv cavity. Shown below are a selection of images showing our recent projects. These include both fireplaces with or without a chimney (flueless no chimney models). Typical Example shown below.

It should be warned however that this type of installation should not be considered lightly and requires special planning and we strongly advise that you seek expert advice from our trained sales consultants. With careful planning it is possible to achieve this stunning look however we can provide some guidance and advice in relation to the gas fire and not the TV as there are many styles, shapes, fitting kits and sizes.

Key Factors that need to be considered:

  • There needs to be protection from the heat given out by the fireplace so that it does not affect the TV.
  • The TV generates a considerable amount of heat by itself and needs air providing all around it. Large plasma TV's get hot regardless of the gas fire and need ventilation).
  • The TV needs to be recessed into its own cavity, with air all around further back than to finished wall.
  • The back of the TV must be protected from any heat which is generated within the chimney.
  • Call Us to discuss your plans.
At CVO we specialise in bespoke designs and installations. We have worked with a number of property developers around the World to design fireplaces where TV's have been mounted above the fireplace. This includes both domestic and commercial properties. There are a number of public houses around the UK where a CVO fire has been fitted below a TV.
