There is a common misconception that Plasma/LCD TVs cannot be placed above fireplaces or mounted onto chimney breasts.  However, when choosing an installation service from Home Entertainment Direct, you can be assured that we have a wealth of experience and expertise mounting TVs above fires.  We can advise on height, structural and heat considerations, and provide complete concealment and integration of all AV and mains cables.  In most situations flatscreen TVs can be safely positioned above the fireplace – after all, fires generally tend to be located centrally in most rooms which tend to be the ideal viewing position for the TV as well.

We now also partner professional fireplace installers and provide a unique and complete installation service of ‘In-Wall’ Fires and Television.  We offer custom design and build of new chimney breasts/false walls to house in-wall fires and TVs which provide a stunning and contemporary new feature to the home.  Alternatively, we can also arrange substitution of existing fires and/or fire surrounds if you want to update to a new gas, electric or gel fireplace to complement your new TV.  Often, the installation of a new fire surround allows re-positioning of TVs to a more comfortable viewing height.  Please contact us for further details and a consultation.
