75-Inch TV Mounted on Stone Fireplace in Cumming, GA

A Cumming, GA homeowner wanted their 75-inch television mounted on a natural stone fireplace surround in their great room. A full motion mount was selected to allow flexible viewing from multiple seating areas, and a power outlet was installed behind the TV to keep the cord hidden against the textured stone surface.

The full motion mount was anchored to the stone fireplace surround using specialized masonry hardware rated for natural stone. The TV was positioned at 52 inches from floor to screen center, centered above the stone mantel. The articulating arm extends 22 inches from the stone surface and swivels to serve the main sectional sofa, an adjacent reading chair, and the open kitchen. Heat clearance was verified with a minimum 8-inch gap from the mantel shelf.

A rotary hammer drill with diamond-tipped masonry bits was used to bore into the natural stone without fracturing the surrounding material. Heavy-duty concrete wedge anchors were inserted at precisely measured points, avoiding natural fault lines in the stone. The full motion arm was load-tested at full extension with the 75-inch TV attached. A weatherproof recessed outlet was installed behind the TV by routing wiring through the mortar joints between stones.

The Cumming great room now features a 75-inch screen on natural stone that articulates to face any part of the room. The full motion arm provides remarkable flexibility against the textured masonry, and the hidden power outlet keeps the stone surround looking pristine. The professional stone anchoring ensures the installation is as solid as the fireplace itself.
