puntloos Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 May I present, the magical Fireplace Except.. - The fire is fake, an opti-myst device (effectively a 'lamp') - The stone is fake(ish), it's stone cladding on a box - https://www.century-stone.co.uk/products/stone-cladding/limestone-eldorado - The fireplace actually houses a R32 Fan Coil Unit to cool the room And of course there's a 65" TV in front. Maybe this side view pictures it better: Currently it's designed with very little tolerances, the TV stacked up against the fan coil unit. Big question: How would you allow access to the FCU. Our main idea is to have allow the entire black back panel to be removable. Not quite sure how to safely secure it in place for 'normal operation' but some type of latch system that's when undone will allow the panel+tv+mantle and possibly ..+fireplace to come forward and out? Has anyone ever seen such a design? Any suggestions on what works and what doesn't? This seems mildly interesting: https://help.framemytv.com/tv-art-covers/tv-art-installation/integrated-mount-system-for-recessed-tvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 innovative! Similar dilemma myself, we are building an inglenook but don't really want a live chimney (air tightness) and all the extra heat. We are opting to make a live chimney so any future owner can have a log burner and seal it. Then fitting an ethanol fire basket. The digital ones are expensive but look very real and are controlled by wifi! https://www.enviro-flame.co.uk/store/Enviro-Flame-BIO500-Traditional-Basket-Fire-p251642877 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
