65-Inch TV on Stacked Stone Fireplace in Kennesaw, GA

A Kennesaw, GA homeowner wanted their 65-inch television mounted on the stacked stone fireplace surround above a rustic reclaimed-wood mantel. A heavy-duty tilt mount was selected to angle the screen down toward the seating area below and to handle the irregular stone surface, while keeping the install clean against the surrounding white built-ins.

The tilt mount was installed using masonry anchors driven directly into solid stone joints in the stacked stone fireplace surround above the wood mantel. The 65-inch TV was attached and angled approximately 10 degrees downward to optimize sightlines from the family room sofa. Cable management routes the HDMI and power runs cleanly behind the mount and along the stone-to-mantel transition for a tidy presentation.

Carbide-tipped masonry bits and high-strength concrete anchors were used to attach the tilt bracket directly into solid stone — never into mortar joints alone — to safely support the 65-inch panel on the irregular stacked-stone surface. The bracket was leveled and torqued to spec, and bit selection was matched to the stone density to prevent cracking. Heat clearance from the firebox was verified against both the fireplace and mount specifications before final mounting.

The Kennesaw family room now features a 65-inch screen mounted directly on the stacked stone fireplace, preserving the rustic stone-and-reclaimed-wood character of the space. The tilt angle reduces glare and delivers comfortable seated viewing, the stone anchors provide rock-solid long-term stability, and the cable management keeps the install looking professional from every angle in the room.
