Thanks for visiting and reading.Mounting a TV above a fireplace is a project you can do yourself. You can hide wires on a wall mounted TV with the right approach and tools. But you probably have a lot of the same questions I did before I started this project like: I’m going to answer those questions and show you how mounting a TV above a fireplace is a doable DIY project. I’ll also show you how to hide wires on a wall mounted TV and how you can too. When you’re mounting a TV above a fireplace you need to consider the type of fireplace structure you have. Our fireplace is a gas burning insert so that’s what this article will be focusing on. But if you have a wood burning fireplace this is a good article that will have more information to help you out. I was pretty sure it was hollow behind the fireplace but needed to check. I took off the shelf trim to see how the shelves were constructed and was happy to find they were made of drywall that I could easily cut into. Next I cut a peep hole with my hole saw so that I could stick my phone inside the wall to see what was going on behind the fireplace. I was relieved to see open space and the wood framing around the fireplace insert. If you don’t have access to peak behind your fireplace I’ll give you some tips in a bit on how to find the framing. Before we get too far though, let’s talk about the first big question we needed to answer; should we mount a TV over a gas burning fireplace at all? The short answer is yes, you can mount a TV above a gas fireplace. But you need to make sure it’s properly mounted and secured. Knowing that I could get behind the fireplace was really helpful. That access would allow me to make sure I was tying into a stud or header which will support the weight of the TV. After a little research I found you want to keep the TV under 100 degrees Fahrenheit. So I decided to run a test to find out how hot it gets where my TV would be. I cranked up the fireplace and taped a thermometer to the stone where it would get the most heat. I also put the gas on full blast which we almost never do and left the glass doors open just to get worst case numbers. After 15 minutes running wide open it went from 75 to about 80 degrees. I also checked around the stone and fireplace with an infrared thermometer to confirm the readings. I checked back at 30 minutes and it had only gone up to 81 but the surface of the thermometer looked to be closer to 86. But that was well within a range I felt comfortable with. Check your own setup based on your fireplace usage to make sure it won’t damage your TV. If you’re mounting a TV above a fireplace with a mantle the TV should be better protected from the heat. A mantel tends to act as a buffer between your fireplace andSimple Diy Fireplace Wall
