Would it be safe to build a tv center around this fireplace?

This fireplace doesn't get hot around it, the blower faces towards the front, and warm air shoots out. We have a Flat screen above it, they don't touch, and the fireplace is free standing, I think I would hesitate to close it in. Hopefully this helps. We really like how it looks as well as how it heats the room.

I don't see why not. The heat all blows out of the front of the unit and the surface does not get hot. On the high heat setting the blower does make some noise though, which might necessitate turning up the tv volume a little.

We use it on a tiny patio very near the house and have not had problems. As long as you keep the fire itself small, I think it would be OK.

I wouldn't have your tv close to the fireplace. It will destroy the mechanisms of the tv. Anyway, I have a 46 inch tv and it swings 26 inches left and right when it's pulled all the way out.

Viewing area is about 41" x 9". Don't know why you couldn't install it under a TV. The heat blows out from the front of the fireplace.

As long as the unit fits safely in your fireplace there should be no problem.

No, it is not ok to use this on a wood surface. It can only be placed on a non combustible service. If you put ceramic tile where the fire bowl would be, that would be acceptable. The fireplace must be placed on a flat and level surface. Failure to do so could cause the unit to tip, which could set surroundings on fire or cause serious injury. Do not place fireplace in an area with lots of traffic, such as a hallway or entryway.

I'm not really sure to be honest with you. Our fireplace insert was built into out entertainment center so we have an electrical outlet to plug it into. As long as it is the right measurement as your fireplace I don't think it would be a problem the only concern would be the plug in.

You can do it, but just be aware that anything 6-12" above the top of the fireplace will definitely get warm. This thing throws off good heat on high. Other than that, installation within a cabinet/mantle will be a breeze. Also, leave a few inches on each side of the fireplace. The optional back light looks great and shouldnt be blocked

I dont think it will be a very good idea because of the heat from the fireplace. You can buy the tilt one ( it is mounted closer to the wall than this model). Hope this helps. After install this model, the screen is about 7 inches from the wall.

Technically yes it would be a nice corner unit even without a TV on top.It's a nice piece of furniture.

I would not sipmly due to the heat from the fire pit. It works well and looks nice. I would use extreme caution on a wood deck.

I wouldn't use it too close to a fireplace. It is metal and will get hot to the touch.

I think the base would be able to fit behind the sofa. I have it in the corner behind my tv.

I do not have a tv on the unit, but I do have my wii, dvd player and digital satellite box all on the fireplace. I don't see why a tv (flat screen on stand) couldn't be used there. I wouldn't go any bigger than a 32" though.

Thats correct, it would interfere with the heat coming out the top. Plus you would be covering up the power and heat buttons. The remote control can power it on and cycle through the colors though. Its a great product though. But if you want heat, you can't recess it perfectly flush against the wall. I questioned how that would look myself, but I have no issues with it sitting two inches from the wall. From the couch, you would never notice (I walled over my 1950's fireplace and am using this instead now).

I don't think that would work very well, but I guess you could build something to mount it. You would need to make sure it has enough ventilation or it will burn up.

Yes. We had a stone mason make a mortered ring and ours sits on a cement padio. The heat is all up, none down. It is an awesome fire pit. It looks like a camp fire. Very warm on cold nights. You should be great with your installation.
