Fireplace Smart TV Installation
BC Neville Tech was brought in by the builder because of our reputation and experience for complicated or difficult above fireplace installs. To accommodate the varying depths of the stone on this fireplace, BC Neville Tech created a custom plate and painted it to match the Strong articulating arm mount used in this project.
Fireplace installations are often one of the most challenging television mounting scenarios in modern home construction. While they create a beautiful focal point in the room, fireplaces with custom stonework rarely offer a flat or consistent surface for mounting technology. In this case, the natural stone veneer had multiple depth variations, which meant a traditional mounting solution would not sit properly or safely against the wall.
Rather than forcing a standard mount into an imperfect surface, the BC Neville Tech team designed a custom-fabricated load-carrying plate that would allow the mount to sit perfectly flush while maintaining full structural integrity. This custom plate ensured the television would be securely supported while also allowing the articulating mount to operate smoothly.
Maintaining Aesthetic Integrity
To maintain the aesthetic integrity of the installation, the fabricated plate was carefully painted to match the finish of the Strong Contractor Series articulating mount. The goal was to make the structural solution visually disappear into the final design so the focus remained on the television and the fireplace itself.
BC Neville Tech supplied and installed a new 75” LG OLED Smart TV to the custom plate and articulating mount. The final part to this installation was installing a new Sonos Arc Soundbar using a Sanus Universal Soundbar mount. Both the client and builder were ecstatic over the result and single day installation.
The selection of the 75” LG OLED television provided the homeowner with one of the highest-quality viewing experiences currently available. OLED technology delivers exceptional contrast, true blacks, and vibrant color accuracy, making it ideal for both movie watching and everyday television viewing. Mounted above the fireplace, the display now acts as a stunning centerpiece within the living space.
The Strong Contractor Series XL articulating arm mount allows the television to be easily adjusted for optimal viewing angles. This is especially valuable for above-fireplace installations, where the ability to tilt and extend the television helps create a more comfortable viewing position from different seating areas throughout the room.
To complement the television’s high-quality visuals, a Sonos Arc soundbar was installed to deliver immersive, room-filling sound. The Sonos Arc is designed to provide theater-quality audio in a streamlined form factor, supporting Dolby Atmos and delivering rich, dynamic sound without the need for a large speaker system.
The Sanus Universal Soundbar mount was selected to keep the soundbar perfectly aligned with the television while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance. By attaching directly to the TV mount, the soundbar moves seamlessly with the television whenever the articulating arm is extended or adjusted.
Another key element of the installation was the use of hardwired network connections for both the television and the Sonos soundbar. While many devices today rely on wireless connectivity, a hardwired network connection provides greater reliability, faster data speeds, and more consistent streaming performance. This ensures the homeowner can enjoy uninterrupted access to streaming services, music, and smart features without connectivity issues.
Throughout the installation process, the BC Neville Tech team focused on both performance and aesthetics. All cabling was carefully concealed to maintain a clean and professional appearance, ensuring that the final result looked as polished as it functioned.
The project was completed in a single day, demonstrating the efficiency and expertise of BC Neville Tech’s installation team. By carefully planning the custom fabrication and installation process ahead of time, the team was able to complete the work quickly without compromising quality or attention to detail.
