Hi all...well just recently moved into a new place ..which I still need to do up and 'de-granny' ...bit stuck on TV placement ..the best place is going to be above a gas fire place...
I had originally planned to rip it out but have quiet enjoyed having it on during these cold snaps ..so would like to keep it...although I plan to modernise it a bit .
Anyway as I don't want the TV that high up I thought about shortening the the fire place surround ..might have to cut the stone too..probably a foot and a half or something.
Basically so the top of the surround will be about level with the top of the wall paper freeze thingy you can see in the pic..
Don't think it's going to look too odd..maybe sort the brass out to black and redo the surround ..then mount the TV above .
Wondering this distance and the fire surround being there will be enough to protect the TV from Any heat from the gas fire....fire is flued by the way ..so most of the heat is probably going up the chimney
Could always put something a bit more substantial in later ...maybe change the fire for a more modern one later
Didn't know if anyone has done something similar ..or other any advice on if its going to be a problem .....before I get my new power saw and diamond blade cutter out .
Cheers
