A TV cabinet with a fireplace arrives as one piece: nothing is built into the wall, and the fire sits flush in the front. Four choices decide how it looks: the length, the fireplace inside, the stone top and where the fire sits.
Length
Cabinets come in 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.8 and 3 m, and other lengths are made to order. Start from the TV: a 16:9 screen is about 0.87 times its diagonal wide, so a 65 in TV is about 1.44 m (57 in) wide, a 75 in TV about 1.66 m (65 in) and an 85 in TV about 1.88 m (74 in). A cabinet clearly wider than the screen usually looks settled; one the same width looks cramped.
The fireplace inside
The fire is an F Series LED electric fireplace in 1, 1.5 or 2 m. The standard cabinet is 2800 x 300 x 360 mm (110 x 11.8 x 14.2 in) with a 1.5 m fireplace. Tell us the cabinet length you want and we confirm which fireplace length fits it.
The stone top
The top is 12 mm sintered stone, which is hard, heat-resistant and easy to wipe clean. It comes in a textured, matt or high-gloss finish, and in patterns such as Chanel, New White, Knight, Black Sandstone, Emilia walnut and Travertine. A high-gloss top reflects the screen and the flame; matt and textured tops do not. Stone slabs are 1200 x 2700 mm, so for a top longer than 2.7 m ask how it is made. Ask for current samples before you order, as patterns change.
Where the fire sits
The fireplace can go at the left, in the centre or at the right. Centred under a centred TV is the calm, symmetrical choice; put it to one side when the TV is off-centre or one end of the cabinet holds a console or speakers. The number and size of the drawers are made around it.
The cabinet
- Carcass: 18 mm ENF-grade solid multi-layer board, black as standard, other colours on request
- Drawers: galvanised under-mount soft-close slides, closing flush
- Stands on the floor, so nothing is fixed to the wall
