Posted: 16:09 - 12 Oct 2017 Post subject: Tv wall mount and covering the wires. |
|
|
Apologise this has maybe been done before it's BCF so who knows. Anyway I'm settling into the new home and want to put the tv in the front lounge on the wall above the fire. Now I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what mount to go for. I'll be looking at 42-50inch tv size.
Also anyone that has managed to mount a tv above the fireplace how have you covered up the wires. Any possiblity of a photo ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Above the fire place?
Heat issues aside it doesn't seem like it'd provide a comfortable viewing angle. |

Are the walls solid or plasterboard? If boarded it's a piece of piss to cut a pair of holes and thread in a piece of flexible conduit (more points awarded if you manage this on a protruding chimney breast though).
Alternatively, show the wires. Get some 1/4" copper tube, thread the wires in and bend to geometric patterns. Maybe even jazz it up with some LED strips.
Example:

The normal way to do this is by fixing the cables to the wall with glue, but then you've ruined both wall and cable. ____________________ This post is probably not serious and shouldn't be taken literally.

I use this one on my Sony bravia
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U46SWC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
but it only cost £6.99 in 2015
Pic was when I first put it up after a little Jedi smash a 4 months old 50 inch screen that was on the stand in the pic, to hide the wires I use a piece of rounded trunking that comes out to the left and then down the side of the chimney breast and behind the shelves. |

I've used the smaller version of these several times. No complaints.
Tv's above a fireplace are not a good idea if you're planning to use the fireplace. Also it's preferable to have the tv at eye level-ish when seated.
Cabling. You can either go.for fully hidden which will mean channeling out the wall, or you go for aesthetically unobtrusive surface trunking of some kind. I haven't used trunking so can't advise on that one. |

Apologies for the long reply had a kinda major problem at the house all sorted now. I've decided that above the tv in the house isn't going to work. So going down a different route that should look a lot better. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

I meant mounting the TV on it was only playing.
I'll probably pop in at some point buddy. |

Ive found Pinterest useful in the past for coming up with different ideas for this type of thing.
I know your going down a different route, but its useful for different DIY ideas.
