However, there are certain factors that are to be considered while mounting the television on the fireplace:

The television set can be placed over the fireplace conveniently provided certain things are observed carefully.

Magnitude

The first thing to take care is to measure the width and length of both the television set as well as the fireplace. This will give an exact idea that how much space is to be left between the screen of the television and the fireplace. This will might avoid having an overcrowded look along with avoiding the overheating.

Temperature

Here one of the most important things to consider is the temperature above the mantel. To have proper precautions a thermometer must be placed over the fireplace. After this, fire must be build that too at full strength. It must be observed that if the temperature rises above 1000 F then the place is not at all suitable for the installation purposes. Moreover, the wall must not be warm enough.

Setting of the fireplace

Placing a plasma flat screen television on the fireplace depends a lot that whether fireplace is used or not. There are people that use fireplace only as an ornamental piece. Hence, the purpose of setting up the television will be extremely convenient. On the contrary, if the fireplace is used it will be a bit cumbersome. As a matter of fact, most of the fireplaces are build with bricks, metal, and stone resulting in significant amount of heat. To have a proper fireplace and a flat screen placed on it, brick façade will be the most suited as it will help in insulating the walls from the so-called heat generated.

Brick walls

The wall behind the fireplace is made up of brick then, it is best to mount the television by making use of anchor bolts. This will be quite an easy task to perform.

Dry walls

If the walls behind the fireplace are made up of dry wall then these may not be able to withstand the load of the flat screen display. However, while mounting plasma television that has large screen requires the extra support. In order to provide better protection, one may attach the TV mounting Dallas to the wall studs adjacent to the screen of the television as with the passage of time, these may become loose owing to bumps and jars.

The cables and wires can be safely concealed into the moulding in a decorative manner. Conversely, if the wall is made up of dry wall then cables and wires can be effortlessly run via wall that makes the look tidy and neat.

Along with this, enough space should be left between the wall and the flat screen television to prevent overheating. To serve this purpose, wooden cabinets can be put to use but must have small vents to have an easy flow of air.
