HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR TV MIRROR For a mantel piece mirror, here are some general rules to follow for optimal aesthetics (but this is art not science so don’t worry about pinpoint accuracy) A) Height: The maximum height should be 10-12cm below a cornice or 5cm below a picture rail. The Aperture: The glass of the mirror should not be wider than your aperture. B) 1. CHOOSE YOUR FRAME 2. WHAT FRAME SIZE? Please browse our gallery (page 20) or online. You can choose from almost our entire range of 80 set styles or we can design a unique frame just for you! Next, what size frame? If it is over a...

OVERMANTELS MEDIA FAQS Q) In summary how does it work? A TV is housed within one of our mirror frames. The technical glass allows the screen to be transmitted through it when it’s on, and work as a fully reflective mirror when it’s off - with the TV invisible from all angles. You tell us which model/size of LED TV, and we make the frame to fit perfectly. The TV is hung on the wall and the mirror slides over and is fixed to the wall. The mirror and TV are not bonded and so you can access and change the TV down the line. Q) What is your lead time? 4 - 6 weeks is our typical lead time for your...

TV FUNCTIONALITY QUESTIONS Q) How good is the SOUND quality? The frame and glass doesn’t block the sound, so you get the same high quality sound you’d get from any other flat screen TV. Some customers elect to augment sound quality using external sound systems for a cinema-like experience. Q) How good is the PICTURE quality? The TV Mirror glass does not affect clarity or brightness. HD and 3D formats are unaffected. We recommend the more recent high series models of Samsung & Panasonic which have very sharp, punchy picture quality. We do caution that the optimum viewing angle is more head...

INSTALLATION QUESTIONS Q) What about the fitting of the TV and The installation of the TV will take approximately 2 hours for an electrician or audio visual specialist to chase all cables from the TV into the walls to your aerial & technology boxes (DVD/ Sky etc) and then re-seal & repaint with no blemish or dust remaining. We work with a team of audio/visual specialists whom we highly recommend. They do projects all over the UK and internationally. Their typical cost is £250 for labour plus £250 for the full hardware package, which should cover everything you need. For a DIY approach you...

ACCESS & MAINTENANCE TV Maintenance/Replacements If you need to access your TV at a later stage, such as for repair or replacement, simply remove the Mirror from its drilled hooks – it slides off and your TV is revealed. The TV market updates rapidly so please ask for latest recommendations. We can put you in touch with recommended electricians who can usually beat published web prices. There are so many possibilities but without the clutter and distraction of visible technology boxes TV upgrade: What if I want a bigger TV later? If you have chosen a style that allows for a bigger TV within...
