What Are Media Walls & How do They Work?

To create media walls, our technicians build a new false wall out of fire-proof plasterboard. This creates a safe space to house a freestanding burner or fireplace, a TV and sound system – whatever combination of elements you’re looking for.

Via meticulous planning and attention to detail we ensure a seamless finish that regularly leaves jaws on the floor. The end product clients in Swindon, Cirencester and Wiltshire are left with showcases finely balanced form and function, ready to be used and enjoyed right away.

Things to Consider

The first thing to consider is whether you want your TV to hang from the wall or embedded in it. You’ll also want to consider how deep your fireplace will sit. It needs to be easy to operate and provide the appropriate level of heat while looking exactly how you imagine it in your mind. Of course, our team can advise here to ensure you’re 100% confident in your approach.

Other points we can help you decide on include:

  • Location – Typically, our bespoke media walls form a part of a living or entertainment room’s main wall, making them the main focus. However, this isn’t always the case and customers in and around Swindon and Cirencester may have different ideas around placement. When weighing up options, consider line-of-sight and viewing angles. You’ll want to really make the most of your fireplace and television, and not have to strain to see them.
  • Cavities & Recesses – Note that if you choose to embed your TV and other facets of media systems within your wall, you’ll need a cavity/recess built into a wooden stud frame to ensure proper support.
  • Socket Access – We live in an age where it feels you can never have too many plug sockets. Consider how many you’ll need not just for your television, an electric fire (if opted for), and things like sound bars or additional lighting; extra sockets can sometimes be a lifesaver if your set-up is to change and become more complex in the future.
  • Finishes & Decorative Touches – The expert technicians at BJS Heating and Fires tackle everything from wiring to plaster boarding, skimming and fitting, and can offer extra decorative and optional finishing touches to turn dream media walls into an everyday reality.
