Mounting a TV/Artwork
Ortal’s Cool Wall Technology is a technique that reduces the convective heat from the fireplace and prevents heat buildup inside the
fireplace chase, mitigating any damage that may result from the wall reaching high temperatures. Ortal’s Cool Wall system enables
the option of safely installing artwork, a TV, or other similar electronic components above the fireplace by reducing the wall
temperature above the fireplace.
