The plan is to build an extension to the chimney breast wall - bringing
it out by a few inches. Where the file was there should be a small
recess for ornaments etc, no fire surround (obviously) meaning the
screen will be mounted much lower. I have allowed for the minimum air
space recommended by Sony also. I knocked up a before and after type
image - see below - comments welcome!
