When to Choose a TV Mount Pull Down

A pull-down TV wall mount is a versatile solution that finds its utility in various scenarios where optimizing the viewing experience and space management are key. Here are some of the most common situations where a TV mount pull down shines:
‍

Above Fireplaces: One of the most popular scenarios is mounting a TV above a fireplace, particularly a taller fireplace. A TV mount pull down is an ideal choice here as it allows you to discreetly conceal the TV above the mantel when not in use, preserving the fireplace's grand aesthetics.

Multipurpose Rooms: For rooms that serve multiple functions – such as living rooms doubling as dining areas or home offices – a pull-down TV wall mount ensures that the TV can be positioned at the optimal viewing angle, whether you're enjoying a meal, working, or relaxing. It can adapt to you and your situation at all times of day.

Rooms with High Ceilings: High ceilings can pose a challenge when it comes to TV viewing angles. A pull-down TV mount allows you to lower the TV to an eye-level position, overcoming the strain of looking upwards. This is especially relevant in spaces like lofts or open-concept layouts.

Bedrooms: In bedrooms, where space might be limited or viewing angles need to be adjusted based on sitting or lying down, a pull-down TV wall mount provides the flexibility needed for comfortable viewing. It eliminates the need for rearranging furniture or propping up pillows to get the perfect angle.

Home Gyms: For fitness enthusiasts who want to follow workout videos on the TV while exercising, a pull-down TV wall mount proves invaluable. You can position the TV at a comfortable height and adjust it as needed during your workout routine.

Commercial Spaces: In commercial settings like conference rooms, meeting areas, or waiting rooms, a pull-down TV mount offers an elegant solution for presentations, training sessions, or keeping clients engaged.

Luxury Spaces: In upscale homes or high-end establishments, a pull-down TV mount adds an element of luxury and modernity. It's an impressive addition to spaces that value both style and functionality.

Ultimately, the versatility of a TV mount pull down makes it a valuable addition to a range of spaces and scenarios. It transforms the way you interact with your TV, enhancing comfort and convenience while adding a touch of sophistication to your environment.

Mounting TV on your Wall Above a Fireplace: Is it OK?

Many homeowners wonder whether it's feasible to mount a TV above a gas fireplace due to the heat generated. It is absolutely fine to mount a TV above a fireplace (gas, electric or real) if you have the appropriate wall mount to prevent damage. For fireplaces that produce real flames, here's where TV pull down wall mount’s shine. These mounts not only preserve the fireplace's allure but they also ensure that your TV is safe from the heat by placing it a significant distance above the flame when the mount is in its closed position (make sure not to have the fireplace on while the mount is pulled down). Companies like MantelMount take safety a step further by designing their fireplace pull down TV mounts to incorporate several additional strategic elements into their designs to prevent heat exposure to your devices. Some of their mounts have temperature sensing handles which turn red at 110 degrees to warn the customer if the heat from a burning fireplace is about to damage the TV and Soundbar (Specifically *For MM540, MM700 and MM750). 

In addition, certain Mantle Mount models offer motorized functionality, allowing you to adjust the TV's position with a touch of a button. This not only adds a touch of modern sophistication and convenience but also transforms your TV experience into a cinematic event and provides safety to your television.
