      It’s called making it a focal point, it’s also only protruding maybe 10 inches, so less depth than a lot of floating shelves. Last I remember my dads big ass tv was at least 24 inches deep so this takes up significantly less space.

    For those saying you can't do this for £200, I have done the maths:
    12 CSL batons - 3.50 each = £42
    3 Plaster boards - 11.90 each = £35.70
    100 pack screws = £14.50
    2.5L paint = £15
    9in Roller and tray = £5.25
    2in Paint brush = £4
    Trimming knife = £3
    Hand saw = £6
    Electric drill/driver £34
    Spirit level = £7.50
    Wall plugs = £3
    5kg pre-mixed laster skim = £15
    Joint tape = £11
    Total = £195.95
    Prices are retail from the Wickes website today. I have also included tools even though the idea you would attempt this and not own any tools already is mental.

  • @user-yo6de3zy1k
    @user-yo6de3zy1k 2 місяці тому

    this is done exclusively for RGB illumination. there is a reverse technology when a niche for a TV is made in the wall. There is one weak point in such solutions - heat distribution, because the back panel of the LCD TV gets very hot, and this heat needs to be diverted somewhere. The weakest point of all LCD TVs is the overheating of one of the backlight LEDs due to poor heat dissipation. Therefore, in order to ensure a long service life of the LCD TV, attention must be paid to heat dissipation in general. all kinds of blind niches only exacerbate the accumulation of heat behind the TV. therefore, from the point of view of aesthetics, this kind of false box is a matter of taste for the owner, but from a technical point of view it is not the best solution due to the lack of thermal dissipation.

    That is so cool but I think it will look better with a dark stain on it not white like that

    Iv built houses with similar pop outs like this with 2x4 or something bigger. Whats that your using 1x2 ? Nice way to cut the cost and utilize the space.
