Mounting a TV/Artwork

Ortal's Cool Wall Technology is a technique that reduces the convective heat from the fireplace and prevents heat buildup inside the
fireplace chase, mitigating any damage that may result from the wall reaching high temperatures. Ortal's Cool Wall system enables
the option of safely installing artwork, a TV, or other similar electronic components above the fireplace by reducing the wall
temperature above the fireplace.
Maintain the following general requirements to mount a TV or artwork above the fireplace and prevent heat damage:
Mount the TV or artwork at the minimum clearance above the top of the fireplace viewing area. Minimum clearance amount
depends on flush or recessed installation. See sections below for more information.
Wires inside the chase are not permitted to cross over the fireplace. Wires must be installed against a wall.
The decision to install a television above an Ortal fireplace is up to the discretion of the owner. TV and art manufacturers may specify
that their product should not be installed on, near or above a heat source. Ortal will not be held liable for any adverse effects on a
TV, artwork or other equipment located near the Ortal fireplace. It is the owner's responsibility to verify that their TV or artwork can
withstand the wall temperatures as outlined in the above wall temperature chart.
The following diagrams can be used as a guide for customers who do decide to locate their TV and artwork above their Ortal fireplace.
These drawings illustrate ways of reducing the amount of heat impact to the area surrounding the fireplace.
Flush Mounted TV/Artwork
When the TV is mounted on a wall that is flush to the fireplace, the TV must be at least 4 inches from the top of the fireplace glass
