Create a stylish Cinewall or Mediawall
Choosing the fireplace
The choice of the fireplace is essential for the appearance and functionality of your cinewall. Xaralyn fireplaces are an excellent choice due to their stylish design and ease of use. Xaralyn offers various models, ranging from electric fireplaces to bio-ethanol fireplaces, which are easy to install and do not require a chimney. This makes them ideal for a cinewall installation. Choose a fireplace that matches your interior and the dimensions of your cinewall.
Design and preparation
Start by determining the dimensions of your wall and the exact locations of the TV and fireplace. Make a detailed sketch of your design, including additional features such as storage space or lighting. Ensure that the necessary electrical connections are in the right places.
Building the base structure
Create a sturdy wooden frame with fir beams at the desired locations for the TV and fireplace. This frame must be able to support the weight of both the TV and the fireplace. Attach drywall or MDF panels to the frame to create a smooth surface. Ensure that the construction is sturdy and has the right dimensions to safely support the fireplace and television.
Electrical wiring
Install the electrical wiring for both the TV and the fireplace within the frame. Ensure there are outlets for both devices. Modern TV receivers from providers like KPN, Ziggo, and T-Mobile work with a Bluetooth remote control, allowing you to place the receiver in the wall. Attach the TV mount at the correct height within the frame according to the manufacturer's instructions. An average height is about 80 cm, but this can vary depending on the size of your television and fireplace.
Fireplace installation
Install the fireplace according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation space and create a niche in the paneling to slide the fireplace into. The fireplace hangs in the wall and does not need to stand on a surface.
Finishing
Attach drywall or MDF panels to the frame with screws. Cut openings for the TV and fireplace. Fill the seams and screw holes of the drywall and sand the surface smooth for a seamless appearance. Paint or cover the wall with the desired material for an aesthetic finish. MDF panels are popular because they are easy to treat with regular wall paint.
Decoration
Add decorative elements such as shelves, paintings, or other accents to complete the wall.

Frequently asked questions about wood stove conversions
Read below
Are decorative fireplaces more sustainable than a wood stove?
Yes, generally you save on gas costs and the maintenance of a gas fireplace. Electric or bio-ethanol is therefore a cheaper alternative.
What should I consider if I place an electric fireplace in a wood stove fireplace?
Make sure the flue is closed off. This is no longer necessary when installing a decorative fireplace.
Combustion of bioethanol mainly emits an odor when the bio-ethanol has not been properly filtered or has been produced from (too many) different raw materials. The alcohol percentage is also very important; the lower the alcohol percentage, the more odor will be noticeable. Bioethanol with a lower percentage of alcohol contains a larger percentage of additives, which results in less pure combustion.
No combustion is completely odorless. One person perceives more smell than another. The combination of bio ethanol and the evaporation from the absorbent ceramic stone in the burner ensures the purest possible combustion, releasing a barely noticeable odor.
If a bioethanol burner is extinguished with a ceramic stone, any odor will be somewhat stronger.
What should I take into account when installing a bio-ethanol fireplace in a wood-burning stove?
Make sure the flue is closed off. This is no longer necessary when installing a decorative fireplace.
