65-Inch TV Mounted Above Indoor Fireplace in Roswell, GA
Project Summary
A Roswell, GA homeowner wanted their 65-inch television above the indoor stone fireplace in their great room but was concerned about neck strain from the elevated position. A MantelMount pull-down system was the perfect solution, 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 invisible at both positions.
Installation Details
The MantelMount was anchored to the wall above the stone fireplace surround using heavy-duty anchors rated for the combined weight of the mount and the 65-inch panel. The TV's resting position centers it at 56 inches from the floor above the mantel, while the pull-down mechanism lowers it to approximately 40 inches—directly at seated eye level from the great room's main sofa. Heat clearance was verified with a minimum 7-inch gap between the mantel shelf and the TV's bottom edge in the raised position.
Professional Techniques Used
Anchors were drilled into the wall above the fireplace surround at precisely measured points, ensuring maximum hold strength. The MantelMount's mounting plate was leveled with a laser level before final tightening to guarantee smooth pull-down operation. The pull-down mechanism was tested through its full range of motion with the 65-inch TV attached, confirming smooth locking at both the raised and lowered positions. A recessed power outlet was installed behind the TV's upper resting position, with wiring routed through the wall cavity to the nearest circuit.
Benefits to the Customer
The Roswell homeowner now enjoys their 65-inch TV at a comfortable eye level by pulling the MantelMount down, then pushing it back above the fireplace when finished. The pull-down mechanism eliminates the neck strain typical of above-fireplace TVs. The hidden power outlet keeps the surround clean and cord-free at both positions, and the MantelMount's built-in heat sensor provides added safety when the fireplace is in use.
