Everything you need to know about home theater, LCD TV, and plasma television above the fireplace installation.

aspects of the installation. Here is a step buy step guide to help you with you answer the question.. "should I install
a flat panel LCD TV or plasma television above the fireplace?" or "is it safe to install a flat panel Plasma
TV or LCD TV above my fireplace?"

going full force. If it doesn't get above your TV manufactures recommended heat level then your good to go that's
usually 90 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer then get the fireplace blazing hot and touch the wall above
the fireplace if it warm to the touch your okay, if its hot to the touch then you probably can't install the television.

is the mantel wall. You need know if it's a brick facade or if its actually part of the chimney. If its part of the

fireplace has a brick facade then the heat is put into a small smoke stack that is insulated from producing heat to the
surrounding walls. This protects your paint from chipping and your dry wall from deteriorating.
