Is your living room dying for an upgrade? Maybe a new unique addition? If so, we know what you’re missing! An innovative bioethanol fireplace. Bioethanol fireplaces fit perfectly under your mantel and even better underneath your television or in any living space.  In this article, we will look into multiple living room design ideas that will provide you with the warmth of a traditional fireplace without the smoke. But first, we need to tell you some key safety information for your television installation.

Can You Install an Ethanol Fireplace With a TV Above?

You can install an ethanol fireplace above a television! All you need is a 12” clearance from the top of your fireplace to the bottom of your television. Since heat rises, this eliminates the risk of your television overheating and ultimately decreasing its life. 

How to Install a TV Above an Ethanol Fireplace

Once your ethanol fireplace has been installed, it’s time to install your television. Don’t forget the most important step; you must measure at least 12” to ensure no damage can be caused to your tv. Here is a step-by-step process on how you can properly mount your television above your fireplace:

1. Lay your new television flat on a soft surface with the screen facing down
2. Place your mounting brackets on your television
3. While your screen is face down, measure from the bottom of the screen to the hook of the arms to discover the wall bracket. Write this number down, because you won’t need it until you decide on the placement of your television
4. Next, find the correct placement of your television--make sure it’s the recommended safe distance from your fireplace
5. Once you have found your spot, measure your wall, and find the correct placement for your bracket
6. Now that you have your placement, you can install your bracket and hang your television on the wall
