42″-65″ Above Fireplace TV Mount (SMF600)

SureMount 42″–65″ Above Fireplace TV Mount (SMF600)

The SureMount® SMF600 Above Fireplace TV Mount is the ideal solution when you want the clean aesthetic of a fireplace TV setup without compromising on comfort. Its spring-tension counterbalance system allows you to effortlessly pull the TV down to eye level for viewing, then return it smoothly to the raised position when not in use.

Supporting TVs between 8–25 kg and VESA patterns up to 600×500 mm, the SMF600 combines height adjustability, forward pull-down, and side swivel to give you a wide range of viewing positions. A built-in 200 mm mantel clearance adjustment ensures your TV will not collide with the mantel during operation.

The SMF600 also features a sliding backplate for flexible left/right positioning during installation, integrated cable management, and optional rear-mount soundbar support. It is an excellent comfort-enhancing upgrade for lounges, open-plan living areas, bedrooms, and any space where a fireplace normally forces the TV too high.

FAQ’s — SureMount SMF600 Above Fireplace TV Mount

1️⃣ Is it safe to mount a TV above a fireplace?

In many homes, yes — provided heat levels are within your TV manufacturer’s limits.
A mantel can help deflect heat away from the TV, but always:

• Check the TV manual for heat-exposure guidance

• Measure temperatures above your fireplace during normal use

• Ensure the area does not exceed your TV’s recommended limits

For general guidance, see the helpful segment from Better Homes & Gardens:

2️⃣ How far above a fireplace should the TV be mounted?

As a rule of thumb:

• A TV should be at least 300 mm above a modern gas fireplace

• Every fireplace produces different heat levels — always test your setup

• Follow your TV manufacturer’s heat recommendations

Heat varies by model, fireplace type, and room airflow.

3️⃣ Will my TV cover the mount when it is raised?

Some 65″ TVs will fully hide the mount in both the UP and DOWN position, assuming the VESA holes are reasonably central.
Even 55″ screens typically conceal the mechanism well.

A 55″ example in the UP and DOWN position can be seen below.

4️⃣ What TV sizes and weights does this mount support?

• TV size: 42″–65″

• Weight: 8–25 kg

If your TV is heavier, check out the SureMount SMF800, which supports up to 60 kg.

5️⃣ Can I mount a soundbar with this unit?

Yes.
An optional rear-mount soundbar hanger is available, with 100 mm vertical adjustment, allowing your soundbar to move with the TV for consistent audio positioning.
