Taking a Wall Measuring to Prepare it For Installing the TV and Fireplace
Sketch up your room as you like to see the design of it. With the help of a measuring tape, make a measurement and mark the wall with the marker. However, you can install the fireplace below the TV, so you need to leave some distance between the fireplace and the TV.
As a first step, we will redo the TV wall to create a place for a 42-inch fireplace and install it. This can be done in multiple steps. So, let’s get started.
Measure The Wall- Your wall must be 42 inches wide from the outside, and the rough opening should be 40 inches. Since you will install a 42-inch fireplace, the wall should be 42 inches wide from the outside. On the other hand, if you take 18 inches in length, then the rough opening will be 18 by 16. We will therefore measure 16 by 40 to install a shiplap. As your goal is to conceal the actual frame of the fireplace, you should make the opening smaller.
Furring out the Wall– To create a flat wall, you must fur out the wall with 2 x 4’s to give it additional depth. That’s how your wall will meet the need correctly. Make sure to leave the distance between the fireplace and the Tv. Install a long piece of wood on the wall using nails or adhesive glue. It will appear that a straight pipe has been attached to the wall.
Install the wood pieces vertically and horizontally and make a place for installing a fireplace.
Fireplace Installment– Let’s unbox the VEVOR fireplace; screw side brackets and screw it to a wall with studs so it’ll not fall out of the wall.
It is simple to use. Click on the screen and turn it on to use the touch effects. It has a remote control, so you can operate it while sitting on your couch or sofa.
It has a sound effect that simulates wood burning, just like a crackling fire. This VEVOR fireplace provides a real flame experience.
You can change the colors from 12 color-changing options as per your preference. If you prefer, you may choose a different color combination. All of these functions can be accomplished with the use of remote control. The carbon light below the frame can be changed, but does it not add an ambiance to your newly renovated TV room? The flame speed can also be adjusted. Get real warmth with this fireplace by changing the burning effects from 65 to 90 speed.
Recessed the wall – After furring the wall, you’ll build another wall and then stick the other wall against it. Then Frame in the fireplace to install the fireplace and recessed the wall, and hang up the TV back on the wall. It’ll ensure the sturdiness of the wall. But for this, you’ll need a shiplap from floor to ceiling.
Painting and Decorating the Room
Transform your room into an affordable living space by painting the walls and attaching beautiful scenery. Besides improving the air quality in your room, it will also enhance its aesthetic appeal. You don’t need professional help for this because we’re here to guide you:
● Paint the Wall Using Light Colors. Probably go with an off-white color.
● Attach a Beautiful painting to the room
● Make a place for a pet to sit near the fireplace
● Add some decoration pieces to your room, like small plants
● Remove all the trash from the room
● Add some nice sofas to your room and place them near the fireplace.
Installation Of Shiplap and Baseboard For Installing A Fireplace
Before assembling a shiplap to the wall, make sure to level the baseboard with the shiplap so you’ll not get any inconvenience. So level up the first pieces of shiplap and install it straight to the wall. But if you have a 9ft wall, you’ll need to buy 12ft pieces as you can either go with 8ft or 12ft pieces. When filling the side corners and edges of your wall, make sure you purchase 12-foot pieces to ensure the wall looks clean.
In the bottom, just trip the shiplap according to the baseboard and install the shiplap there.
Fix the VEVOR Fireplace Into the Wall To Create A Cozy Appeal
Now after installing shiplapping, it’s time to fix the fireplace into the wall.
It is now time to install your fireplace into the wall. Simply drill the holes and screw the brackets upside down, and your fireplace is now ready for use.
Finally, your fireplace has been installed in a neat and tidy manner. The TV will be mounted above it, so let’s kill the waves.
