Could the TV have been mounted over the fireplace?

10 years ago

Is there a structural reason why the TV wasn't mounted over the fireplace or was this just the preference of the homeowner? Thanks!

This was both aesthetic and functional. This fireplace is set in the wall quite high and to avoid damage from heat rising from the fire, the TV would have had to have been hung far to high to be comfortable. It is also hidden in the corner, allowing the fireplace to be the feature, without the TV distracting from it.

I had to settle for a shower for years and years because the place we lived in only had a shower although my showers are deefinitely not a three minute person, more like 15min ha-ha I too decided on a spa bath in our new build, one that is big enough to fit two people but is simply a bath shape and I'm finding it hard to get myself back into baths because of being used to a shower for so long but I don't regret it either. I used to read the paper in the bath back when papers were what was around back then and I do miss that ha-ha

Only last weekend we in store 'asking the experts' about our similar concerns. We were told that the "installation guidelines insure a safe distance", but the tv's they had on display in store were still incredibly hot along their bottom edges. Despite all assurances from the salesperson we are not convinced. We will be following this thread with great interest.

The simple whites are what I like, the lounge welcomes you to get comfortable and spend time and lose all the distractions, giving you a chance to refresh and refocus. The TV art on the wall is the highlight and draws your attention, and hides its personalities. Is it a TV at all?, Overall I chose number 9 for its simplicity and comforting feel with no clutter and with one piece to comfort the body and one piece to stimulate the mind.

i don't understand all the concern..(obviously won't be cheap or easy and probably needs an engineer to design the frame) but the firebox probably weighs no more than 200kg (less than a bathtub full of water and a bather) and the flue is suspended from the ceiling or a power flue can be directed through the wall or floor ..the challenge will be finding the most suitable brand and model (preferably zero clearance) and keen tradesman to organise the steel frame as the timber shelves are only decorative not structural ...we have a 250kg corten steel courtyard gate that is only suspended from steel hinges and they not only hold the weight above the ground the door also has to move...consult the manufacturers who should be able to give more specific advice
