A cinewall with fireplace combines your TV and a decorative fire in one neatly finished wall. Most people choose an electric fire, because it gives off little heat and needs no flue. A gas fire or wood burner is possible too, but requires fire-resistant materials, a flue and a registered installer. The design therefore starts with the fireplace: the type determines the build-up of the wall, the position of the TV and the ventilation. We build the wall to measure and make sure the finish is crisp.
The electric fire is by far the most popular choice. It works with light and water vapour or LED flames, needs only a power socket and gives off little or adjustable heat. That makes it fairly easy to build into a wall of studwork and board.
A built-in gas fire or wood burner is a different matter. They get hot and need a flue. The surrounding wall must then be made of non-combustible material, with the clearances the manufacturer specifies. Always have the gas and flue connected by a registered installer.
We build the wall around it and agree the dimensions with the installer in advance.
Even an electric fire blows out warm air. That air must be able to escape, otherwise the inside of the wall gets too hot. We therefore build in ventilation openings, above or beside the fire, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The TV often hangs above the fire. Watch the viewing height: if the screen hangs too high, you end up sitting with your head tilted back. A shallow recess or a slightly lower fire helps. And heat directly under a TV is not good for the electronics, so the warm air should preferably be directed forwards or to the side.
It starts with a conversation about your wishes: the width of the wall, the size of the TV, the type of fire and whether you want recesses or open shelves. Then we draw up the dimensions based on the installation sizes of the fire and the TV bracket. Only once those are fixed do we build the studwork.
Before the boards go on, the cables, power and any LED lighting are put in place. Through our network, an electrician comes along for the connections. The wall is then finished with plasterboard and plastered or painted. More about the process can be found in having a cinewall made.
A cinewall with fireplace costs more than a wall with just a TV recess, because the fire itself is a substantial item and the build-up takes more work. Rough market indications are given under cinewall costs. Daal Constructions does not publish fixed prices, because every wall is different: you receive a tailored quote after a conversation with Shahiro.
If you want the wall plastered for a seamless look, our plasterer comes along. Also read plastering walls and ceilings. The service itself is under cinewall (media wall) carpentry. If you are combining the wall with new spotlights above it, see lowered ceiling with spotlights.
Yes, as a rule that works fine, as long as the warm air does not blow directly at the TV. Choose a fire that directs heat forwards or to the side and keep to the clearance the manufacturer states. Also pay attention to a comfortable viewing height.
For electric fires with a heating function, a dedicated circuit is often sensible. It prevents the circuit from being overloaded when the TV and lighting are also on. An electrician can assess this in advance.
That mainly depends on the installation depth of the fire. Many electric built-in fires need a wall about 30 to 40 centimetres deep. A gas fire with a flue is often deeper.
