Fireplace TV Mounting Details

Mounting a TV Above a Fireplace

Fireplace installations often require extra planning because the TV usually needs to be centered, safely supported, and positioned correctly above the mantel.

Additional considerations may include:

• Stud location may not align with the desired TV center

• Some mounts may not allow proper centering

• Fireplace walls may require additional backing

• Cable concealment may be more limited

• Heat, height, and viewing angle should be considered

A fireplace surcharge may apply because these installs usually take more care than a standard wall mount.
