A MantleMount is a specialized wall mount system designed for TVs above fireplaces. It lets your TV pull down and tilt forward to a comfortable eye-level viewing position while you're watching — and retract back above the mantle when you're done. It solves both the viewing angle problem and moves the TV away from fireplace heat during use.
The concept is brilliant. The installation is highly technical. MantleMount requires precise counterbalance calibration, correct wall anchoring for your specific fireplace wall type, and careful TV attachment. SureGrip installs MantleMounts throughout Silver Spring — from the brick colonial homes of East Silver Spring to the Ripley District condos with above-range-hood fireplace inserts.
MantleMount's product warranty is voided by improper installation. The counterbalance calibration must match your specific TV's weight precisely — too light and the TV won't stay in the raised position; too heavy and it won't pull down smoothly. The wall anchoring must hold the full dynamic load of the arm extended with the TV weight applied. And on brick or stone fireplace walls, masonry anchoring is required.
SureGrip handles all of this. We have installed MantleMounts in Silver Spring's brick colonials, its newer townhomes near the Rock Creek Trail, and its downtown condos. We come prepared for your specific fireplace wall type and TV model.

A MantleMount that isn't precisely calibrated to your TV's weight feels wrong immediately — it's either too stiff to pull down or too loose to stay up. SureGrip calibrates every MantleMount installation to your specific TV model's weight before calling the job done. The operation should feel effortless. If it doesn't, we keep adjusting until it does.

Silver Spring's older neighborhoods — East Silver Spring, Woodmoor, Indian Spring, Woodside — are full of homes with brick fireplace walls. Installing a MantleMount on these walls requires masonry drilling and the correct anchor type. SureGrip performs MantleMount masonry installations regularly. We come with the right bits, the right anchors, and the right technique.

Not every above-fireplace situation calls for a MantleMount. If your fireplace is electric or a low-heat gas insert, a fixed tilting mount at the correct height may be the simpler and equally effective solution. SureGrip gives you an honest assessment of which approach is right for your specific Silver Spring fireplace wall and viewing situation — not just the more expensive option.

It depends on heat output and the mantle clearance. SureGrip assesses this before drilling. If the heat level is a concern, we tell you honestly and offer alternative solutions. We never mount a TV in a heat-unsafe position.
The most common approach for brick fireplace walls in Silver Spring is a surface raceway run discreetly along the mantle edge, painted to match the wall. For drywall surrounds, in-wall routing is possible. A MantleMount system is another option that eliminates wire routing challenges entirely.
It can be without the right mount. SureGrip installs a tilting or full-motion mount for all above-fireplace installations that allows you to angle the screen down to a comfortable viewing position. This eliminates the neck-strain problem completely.
