After reviewing as many videos as possible before I tackle my own media wall, I have found this one to be the best by far as it addresses all my questions. Cheers lads
Exceeded my expectations. I bought this for the "not heat" feature. I live in FL and didn't want the heat, only the flame. It looks so good and I'm super happy with the purchase!
Hi, really great video, can I just ask, if constructing on a new build property does the tv bracket still need to screw onto MDF rather than directly on to the plasterboard (jointed, taped & painted) party wall between myself and my neighbour, would it not be more secure screwed through the plasterboard and into block? Thank you!
We generally do this with the Deepline range of fires as there is plenty of depth in the recess and this means there is a also a void for cables to run through. It also means that sockets can be mounted flush rather than surface mounted. If it's a party wall between yourself and a neighbour then this will be of solid brick so the bracket can be mounted directly to this if you prefer however you will have to chase the wall out to conceal the pathway of the cables.
Hi Jennifer thank you! The fire has an edge kit so the plaster board sits on the edge kit is normally about 15mm so 9.5mm plaster board is ideal then a skim to have it flush. I hope it helps!
We don't use mdf as it's difficult to achieve a good finish to the corners unless you're able to mitre, it's pretty expensive too. We use plasterboard which is very forgiving where walls, ceilings and floors are out. Using a plaster finish makes it the same as any other wall in your home too.
The fires are designed to plug in however this will mean you have a cable and plug visible unless you're going to chase the wall out and route it to the tv recess instead. We suggest a switched fused spur for a more professional look and if placed on the side then it's easily accessible should the fused fail.
This is the best video on explaining how to build a media wall highly recommended watching
Thank you apprecaited!

Thank you really appreciate your feedback thank you!
Did you only use the 4 bolts to fix the TV bracket to the wall? I'm tempted to put another two for extra support.
Very nice work by 2 craftsmen 👍
Is there an easy way of getting the TV centred vertically? My TV has vesa mounts but off centre vertically
Very nice now i understand it all.
very helpful video. thanks
good job lads
Great work. I noticed you guys didn’t use any paper tape for inside corners. Do you not need to. Asking for myself??
The gap around the TV is rarely even. Better to surface mount the TV every time?

@@Interiors4Living Thank you!
Great vid. What brand and model is the fire? Thanks
It's a Firez model which we have in various sizes between 1250 - 2200 as well as slimline models too.
Great vid, How did you plaster board the side of the fire round the panoramic glass?
Hi Jennifer thank you! The fire has an edge kit so the plaster board sits on the edge kit is normally about 15mm so 9.5mm plaster board is ideal then a skim to have it flush. I hope it helps!
@@Interiors4Living many thanks for the reply. When you say edge kit, do you mean the lip that is screwed on all around the sides of the glass?
Sorry I didnt catch the name of the actual fireplace. Was it a Ferez 1800?
Firez 1800 www.mediawalls.co.uk
How would you get that fire out, if you had a problem with it.🤔
The fire has been developed to allow all repairs and maintenance to be completed through the front by removing the glass.
Is a media wall a viable option if you want to connect a UHD disc player to the TV. If so, where would it go?
Is MDF strong enough to use for mounting a tv bracket and tv this is new to me
We have always used MDF to secure TV!
No its not
Will pull apart after a while
It is only compressed paper after
Does the frame sit on the fire? If so is that safe?
It is an electric fire yes the frame can sit on the fire it is fine! Thank you

Ive seen people use mdf instead of plasterboard can you advise why not to yse mdf?
We don't use mdf as it's difficult to achieve a good finish to the corners unless you're able to mitre, it's pretty expensive too. We use plasterboard which is very forgiving where walls, ceilings and floors are out. Using a plaster finish makes it the same as any other wall in your home too.
Why do you need a fused switch why cant you plug the fire into a socket??
The fires are designed to plug in however this will mean you have a cable and plug visible unless you're going to chase the wall out and route it to the tv recess instead. We suggest a switched fused spur for a more professional look and if placed on the side then it's easily accessible should the fused fail.
How long did it take to do this job?
Can you put a link to the tv bracket you used?

What do you suggest when it comes to wood flooring carpet? Build over both? or remove them to build on floor?
Hi you can build on wooden flooring, but with carpet you can do the same or bring it forward and then cut around it!
