@@Esiddik no, actually no need for all that. Just having the non combustible mantle allows you to lower the TV because the mantle can also be lower. The TV and components are protected by the mantle. Very simple and easy installation plus no more moving parts.
Thanks for the comment, but what about 90% of the homes that have a feature wall that is the focus of the room and the optical place for a TV. The noncombustible mantle allows you to lower the mantle closer to the firebox, which allows you to safely lower the TV for better viewing. Every home doesn’t have the space to have a separate viewing area for the TV and a separate area for the fireplace. This solves a multitude of problems for many homes across the country..
During the winter in SoCalif. we have a fire once or twice a week...especially when company comes over. There are several places to put a tv in our house and each place has one...lol...the den, the patio, the bedrooms and our favorite hang out (during winter) above the fireplace in the living room...where we can watch while warming our cockles. It might look stupid if it was a prefab small metal fireplace but it's a large, wide hand built brick that's wider than our 65" widescreen.
@interiortrendinc. we project ours directly on the wall. Have done it on a few different colors (paint) now, and most gray, white, and light browns are hard to tell apart.
@interiortrendinc. for the stone face here, either right up into the ceiling or having something like the mantal at the top would work. I'm sure there would be some creative ways to have fun with it. For our house, it means we don't have a visible TV, allowing the room to center around other things for the 90% of time the TV is off. Also, hidden benefit, putting a fire video on with a projector, giving you a 10ft wide fire place, is oddly satisfying.
fireplaces are focal points, and tvs are too. personally, I don't like looking up so much. if heat would not effect the the TV, or the fire is not real, lowering the TV would work for me.
Great question, if you follow us and watch the preview city is, you’ll see we took the Stonewall down and put up a steel stud wall and covered it in cement backer board and covered it with the Stackstone. We then melted the TV to that.
Why is this a trend? It's stupid and looks stupid. Where do you put any consoles or media players? Does the heat in the immediate area not hurt the tv? It's electronic and produces heat itself, so it needs to be able to cool it's components efficiently in order to last longer. This isn't helping anything or anyone. And like I said, it looks stupid as hell.

Okay.. but like … are you going to show us ??
What can we show you.
I thought lower like you going to lower the TV you know the ones that actually go up and down 🤣💀 I was confused.

@@interiortrendinc. yes I agree!
and thank you for replying and clarifying it to me. I did misunderstand the video
What would you like to see?
Woah! Thanks! May help me sometime!
You are welcome. It’s great. Helps you lower the mantle to 12” above the firebox.
Here's another designer secret: If you place a TV above a fireplace, you are not a designer.

If done correctly, a TV can absolutely be above a fireplace. In some room layouts, there's no other way to mount the TV.
What goes around the fireplace to hid the brackets?
Send us a message on linktr.ee/Interiortrend. I’d love to show you a picture of the completed project.
Use a projector above a fireplace, looks clean when off and no heat issues.
Cool idea but where would the screen go retractable in the ceiling?

It’s still too high though
Actually it’s only 48” off the floor which is about 12-18” lower than most OTF installations
if you have wifi and a smart TV, go on RUclips and pull up a fire in a fireplace. kills to bugs with one stone.
How is the TV mounted to that brick wall

The heat will fuck up the TV real fast, especially when it's an OLED.
Good comment but that is the purpose of the concrete mantle. It absorbs all the heat and protects the components above it
Anything above 1.6m its ridiculous.
People will be breaking their necks.
Doesn’t it really depend on TV size, room size and viewing distance?

It's not a real fire
It does produce heat. Also the components are remotes to a cabinet adjacent to the fireplace
It is a heat producing gas insert.
Thankfully we don’t have consoles in the LR anymore d/t smart tv/apps and kids do their gaming elsewhere. 🙌
useless comment
