65-Inch TV Above Brick Fireplace With MantelMount in Winder, GA

A Winder, GA homeowner wanted a 65-inch TV above their brick fireplace without the discomfort of looking up at a high-mounted screen. A MantelMount pull-down bracket was installed, allowing the TV to lower to eye level when watching and retract above the mantel when not in use. A power outlet behind the TV keeps cords hidden on the masonry surface.

The MantelMount was anchored to the brick fireplace surround using masonry-rated concrete sleeve anchors. The TV sits above the mantel at rest and pulls down 25 inches to comfortable viewing height. Heat-sensing handles automatically deploy when the fireplace is active, preventing accidental lowering. A recessed power outlet was installed behind the TV.

A rotary hammer drill bored into the brick fireplace surround. Concrete sleeve anchors rated for heavy loads were torqued into position. The MantelMount's gas-piston mechanism was calibrated for the 65-inch TV's weight for smooth operation. The power outlet was wired through masonry conduit with code-compliant wiring.

The Winder homeowner can watch their 65-inch TV at eye level by pulling it down from above the fireplace, eliminating neck strain. When not in use, the TV sits elegantly above the mantel. The heat-sensing safety handles protect against lowering over an active fire, and the hidden power outlet keeps the brick clean.
