Media Wall Packages
Our media wall designs combine style and functionality, offering customisable solutions to create a striking, fully integrated entertainment focal point in your space.
What fire size is best?
Getting the sizing proportions right for your media wall fire is essential and a deciding factor of whether your wall will look right for your space, especially when installing alongside a TV or sound bar.
We recommend that your fire should be around the same size as your TV or even bigger, however, this of course is down to your own personal judgement. The depth of your breast should normally pretrude the fire out, from the wall, leaving a 15cm upright.
Generally speaking, inset and outset fires are between 1.2 metres to 1.5 metres in length with a 35cm glass height display with some of the larger fires at 2.4 metres in length.
What fire configurations is best for you?
A media wall fire is available in three different viewing configurations that determine how the fire will be seen. Every display should be carefully configured to match your home interior and layout of your room to truly enjoy the benefit of a fireplace.
One Sided Front
A one sided inset fire design that creates a clean and minimalist looking full fire display. This sleek looking finish is a very space saving technique.
Two Sided Corner
Opt for either a right or left glass sided fire view depending on your room for a more immersive fire.
Three Sided Panoramic
Take full advantage of the flames with an outset fire view. This panoramic glass view takes full advantage of the flames from all angles.
Media Wall Hearths
Style your media wall with a stylish hearth that will compliment your fire. Our hearths sit around the glass of your fire.
Whether it be a shiny finish which will reflect the warm dancing flames or a sleek aegean limestone hearth that sits across the whole length of your wall, we have got a hearth for you!

They can be matched to your room or interior styling to be inkeeping with your home. Our hearths are a tidy way to finish off your chimney breast in style.
