Television/Art Installation Information & Diagrams
Lyric's Cool Wall Technology is a technique that prevents heat buildup within the fireplace chase, which
keeps the wall cool and mitigates any damage that may result from high heat temperatures. Lyric's Cool
Wall system enables the option of installing artwork, a TV, or other similar electronic components above
the fireplace:
0-6" above Lyric fireplace
6-12" above Lyric fireplace
12" above Lyric fireplace
Required minimum clearance between bottom edge of TV or other similar device or
artwork and top of fireplace opening is 12".

TV and Art Mounting Requirements

The following general guidelines are required to mount a TV or artwork above the fireplace and prevent
heat damage:
•
Mount the TV or artwork a minimum of 12 inches above the top opening of the fireplace.
•
Line the interior and exterior of your framing with fire rated 5/8 Type X drywall (or equivalent),
regardless of your framing material (wood studs vs. metal studs).
•
Make sure the TV or artwork is never flush with the wall above the fireplace.
The following recommendation will further mitigate heat impact to electronics and art work, but is not a
requirement:
•
Use mineral wool insulation in the air space between 5/8" Type X Drywall layers.
The decision to install a television or artwork above a Lyric fireplace is up to the discretion of the
consumer. TV and art manufacturers may specify in their instructions that the product should not be
installed on, near or above a heat source. The fireplace manufacturer will not be held liable for any adverse
effects on a TV, artwork or other equipment located near the Lyric fireplace. It is the customer's
responsibility to verify that their TV or artwork can withstand the wall temperatures as outlined in the
previous wall temperature chart.
The drawings in the following sections can be used as a guide for customers who do decide to locate their
TV and artwork above their Lyric fireplace. These drawings illustrate ways of reducing the amount of heat
impact to the area surrounding the fireplace.
