TV over stove/fireplace

9 years ago

We are hoping to put our TV over a stove/fireplace. We were looking to get a stove that fits into the chimney breast with no mantle surround. Has anyone done this? Any advice appreciated.

I'd advise against it as the wall above stoves gets really quite hot - to the extent that in our last house we actually took the picture down from above the fireplace as my husband was worried about the effect of the heat on the print. You'll also get a small amount of smoke escaping the stove when you open the door to add logs, and that will go straight upwards too and there won't be any mantle to intercept it. So I doubt any sort of electronics will be happy there.

Check with the manufacturers of the TV first. Some TV's are tested to go above fires. It also depends on the positioning of the stove. If the stove in inset which I think you are referring to (see attached) it is unlikely that it would be a good idea. If the stove is going into a traditional opening a TV above it at the right distance should be fine.

Are you talking about a wood or pellet stove? If so, I assume you're going to put something over the drywall to protect the wall from the heat. If not, you should for fire protection. You should also check your city or county codes on whatever type of stove you're putting in. Posting a picture also helps so we can see what you're doing.

We have a double sided stove dividing our kitchen and living room. We also built a half wall between the two rooms with the idea of placing our TV there. We don't want to place the tv over the stove and there are windows/patio door on all the other walls. Any recommendations on where to place the tv? We were thinking of a wall bracket that could turn the tv to face either room,but I don't like the idea of seeing the back of a TV. Then I looked up cabinets that a TV can go up and down into and turn 360 degrees, these seem very expensive and I don't know where to source them in ireland. Now we are considering studding the wall and having a TV wall mounted and can be seen in the living room only. Any comments or suggestions.

I have a narrow fireplace with freestanding stove that protrudes, I would like to get a mirror for over the mantle. I did buy one from M&S 70x 75cm arched overmantle mirror but it was too narrow. What do you recommend?

It gets v v v hot - even with an inset stove and we wanted to have it over the fire as well but was strongly advised against it. It will likely melt or ruin the screen.

Shame as its perfect above the fire but better safe than sorry,
