Questions
Media Wall FAQs
What is a media wall?
A media wall is a purpose-built feature wall that can house a television, electric fire, storage and lighting while hiding cables and connections.
Do I need planning permission for a media wall?
Planning permission is not normally required for an internal non-structural media wall. Listed buildings and structural alterations may need specialist advice.
How long does installation take?
A typical project takes several days across framing, electrical work, boarding, plastering, drying and finishing. Bespoke projects may take longer.
Can a media wall include an electric fireplace?
Yes. Inset and panoramic electric fires are popular choices, provided the manufacturer’s clearance and ventilation guidance is followed.
How are TV cables hidden?
Power, HDMI and data cables are routed through planned channels inside the wall, with suitable access points for future maintenance.
Does electrical work need a qualified electrician?
New sockets, spurs and lighting circuits should be installed and certified by a qualified electrician to current UK regulations.
Can a media wall work in a small room?
Yes. A shallow frame, compact fire, floating unit and carefully planned proportions can make a media wall suitable for smaller rooms.
What affects the final cost?
Wall size, fireplace choice, lighting, electrical work, plastering, decorative finishes and bespoke storage all affect the quote.
