Itâ € ™ sa wonderful image: the young couple nestled comfortably on the couch watching your favorite movies on the plasma TV mounted above a fireplace lit. But is entirely practical? Common sense says that having an expensive plasma screen on the right wall above a fireplace is not the wisest move in the creation of your system home entertainment. However, it is successfully performed on a regular basis and can be done keeping in mind certain guidelines.
There are three main aspects successfully mount a plasma screen on your fireplace: fire wall and mathematics. The first refers to what kind of fireplace you have, and what kind of fire sitting on it, the second refers to whether you have a brick, stone, concrete or hollow wall and mathematics, the third, refers to certain measures concerning the installation of a plasma display.
If you have a modern fireplace then it is likely that most of the heat is directed upwards and outwards through a chimney efficient or directed forward and down to the main room. In this case it is better to test the area above your fireplace, with a thermometer or candle to heat with its fireplace on full blast. If she doesnâ ™ € t get very hot up there, then your plasma screen will be fine. It helps a lot if you have a large fireplace enough to block part of the heat as the screen will probably be out about 3-4 inches from the wall.
Secondly, if you have a stone, concrete or brick wall, then drill holes in which the holders of the screen should work fine. When the wall is hollow, â € ~ dry walla € ™ you probably be in some kind of drilling plasterboard. In this case, you have to be very careful that the â € ~ walla € ™ can take the weight of your TV plasma (which can weigh up to 40 kg!). You also have to make sure that there is some way for the wires to be € ~ â € ™ hidden across the wall behind the plasma screen.
Finally, the math. What is the fireplace and plasma screen mount? What is the distance from the couch screen? The angle of the screen will be installed with a view to facilitate more comfortable? You should think about these issues, while you think about buying or installing a plasma TV. If the screen is too high, or viewing distance very close, then youâ € ™ re likely to get a stiff neck the neck, fold the display down properly can help reduce this problem too.
Both plasma and fireplaces are the attractions in central any room and, as such, are increasingly occupying the same place, in order to preserve the symmetry and aesthetics of the room. Flat screen plasma can be very large, but they also are very flat and therefore can be seamlessly integrated with the rest of Rome € ™ s dà © cor. A little careful planning, research and consultation may help you to mount your plasma screen on the wall above the fireplace.
