Fireplace and mantelpiece

We are renovating a Grade II listed building and we did not get permission to enlarge any rooms. The rooms are small but with high ceilings and big Georgian attractive windows. Unfortunately we also have very damaged fireplaces and would like to renew them. Please tell me about this elegant fireplace. We live near Camden Town, London, UK..

What's on top of your mantelpiece?
Comments (5)We have three. In the living room it is some candles, a mantel clock, the kids graduation photos and some dried yellow rose petals in a small glass container from when my mother passed away (yellow roses were her favorites). In the kitchen it is just some candles. In the family room it is some candles, some framed pictures I took of flowers and some antique fishing reels and lures that I have collected. Just a few, not too many....See MoreTV above fireplace
Comments (4)Hi - we have been installing TVs above fireplaces for the past 15 years. Our recommendation is that you should ideally leave a 100cm clearance from the top of the fireplace to the bottom of the TV and fit a protuding mantelpiece to deflect/minimise the effect of heat thermals. If the wall is thin you will need to add heat insulation behind the TV.

The target UK price for the slim mount unit will be £599 including the ability to swivel it left and right (see photos attached). This solution is also ideal for moving the TV away from toddlers when not in use!

Comments (7)Plan B? TV too high - solving TV neck ache We have been installing TVs above fireplaces for the past 15 years. Our recommendation is that you should leave at 50-100cm clearance from the top of the fireplace to the bottom of the TV. I am assuming that the black cover above the fireplace does a good job of stopping the heat rising? However, a protruding mantelpiece to further deflect/minimise the effect of heat thermals would help.
