Help! What model linear fireplaces can I put TV directly above?
Comments (4)Napoleon makes OK fireplaces, but their efficiencies are terrible. The P4 Energuide efficiencies of their Luxuria Series of linears range from a low of 38.8% to 52.5% Which means that in the case of the LV38N 61% of the gas you pay for is wasted and the best LV74N almost half is wasted. The Valor Linears range from 66 to 70% P4 Energuide efficiencies. The Heat Shift allows TVs and other heat sensitive items above the fireplace as well as combustible wall materials up to the fireplace opening. Here is the Heat Shift Video....See MoreTV Placement - Above Linear Fireplace or to The Side?
Comments (5)We have the same basic layout and we mounted the TV to the side wall and used a swing-out to aim the TV toward the sitting area. You will never get the optimum mounting height if you place the TV above the fireplace with mantle and that is the most important thing for comfort. Out fireplace is 65" and the TV is 55" (soon to be replaced)....See MoreCan you put a TV above a Napoleon linear gas fireplace?
Comments (2)Download the installation manuals for each fireplace. Somewhere within the manual will be shown the depth of differing fireplace mantles and the minimum height above the fireplace that each depth of mantle can be mounted. This is to prevent overheating the mantle if it is too deep and placed too close/low to the fireplace. It's similar for any appliance placed above as well. This will guide you in how low your TV can be placed above the fireplace....See MoreFireplace and Media Storage/TV design help!
Comments (3)I hate corner FPs too. You will need to see how much it will cost to remove and redo a FP on thet wall where you have the TV now. Is the FP gas now? I agree about the need for storage since IMO all those toys need a home I do not think TV above a FP is a good plan but I guess I needt o know if this FP is a must for heating or only for looks . If the latter then look at elecric FPs more linear and then the TV coulld go above and still be at close to proper viewing height. Look at Besta from Ikea it is perfect for this application if you go electric IMO if you want that TV then the FP is a no go . How long it that wall that would be helpful. I am not sure how old the childs is but those large plastic ply things belong in a space not in the LR so maybe pull one out for playing and then it goes away at night all the little stuff can have a home in the Besta storge that can go under the TV and even have a bit of display if you wanted.These are 2 options that would work...See MoreDavid Cary
