Our Process
Design Layout
Mapping out TV size, fireplace dimensions, and cabinet proportions.
Electrical & A/V
Running all necessary power and HDMI cables behind the wall.
Framing & Backing
Building the structure to support heavy TVs and floating cabinets.
Panel & Cabinet Install
Mounting the acoustic slats and custom woodwork.
Hardware Mount
Hanging the TV, installing the fireplace, and tuning the LEDs.
Cost Guide
A luxury media and acoustic wall ranges from about $2.5k for a slat accent with TV mounting to $15k or more for a wall-to-wall cinematic build with cabinetry, fireplace, and integrated sound. The cost climbs with millwork, an electric fireplace, and A/V integration. A slat accent is a focused install; a full media wall is custom carpentry, electrical, and finish work combined. The estimates below reflect typical Utah great rooms and basement theaters.
Millwork and cabinetry
Custom floating cabinets and detailed built-ins are the largest discretionary driver, adding several thousand dollars over a simple slat panel.
Electric fireplace integration
A modern front-venting electric fireplace and its safe framing add cost but create the focal point most clients want.
A/V complexity
Concealing power and HDMI, integrating a soundbar or in-wall speakers, and running cable to an A/V closet add wiring labor.
Finish material
Premium stone, hardwood slats, or backlit panels cost more than paint-grade MDF but define the wall's luxury feel.
Lighting integration
Multi-zone smart LED backlighting and starlight ceiling accents add ambiance and modest electrical cost.

Materials & Options
Acoustic wood slat panels
Felt-backed slat panels diffuse and absorb sound to cut echo while adding rich, modern texture to the wall.
Front-venting electric fireplace
A modern electric unit pushes heat into the room so the wall and TV above stay safely cool.
Floating cabinet millwork
Wall-mounted cabinets with hidden, ventilated compartments keep components tidy and the floor visually clean.
In-wall cable conduit
Concealed conduit hides all power and signal wiring and allows easy future upgrades without opening the wall.
Multi-zone smart LED lighting
Dimmable, color-tunable LEDs create perfect ambient viewing light and dramatic backlighting.
Permits in Utah
A decorative media wall with slats and cabinetry generally does not require a building permit, but any new electrical work — outlets behind the TV, fireplace circuit, or LED lighting — requires an electrical permit and inspection in most Utah cities. An electric fireplace that plugs into an existing rated outlet may not, while a hardwired unit will. We confirm the requirements for your configuration and pull the electrical permit when the wiring calls for it.
Maintenance
- Dust the wood slats along the grain periodically and treat or reseal them if the finish dulls over time.
- Vacuum the fireplace intake and vents so airflow stays clear and the unit runs efficiently.
- Check that concealed cable compartments stay ventilated so components don't overheat.
- Verify TV mount bolts remain tight, especially on articulating arms carrying a heavy screen.
- Update LED controller firmware or replace remotes' batteries so scene lighting stays reliable.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mounting a heavy TV without proper backing
Drywall anchors alone can't safely hold a large screen; without solid backing the mount can pull free and destroy the TV.
Enclosing components with no ventilation
Cable boxes and receivers overheat in a sealed cabinet, shortening their life and causing intermittent failures.
Placing a standard fireplace under a TV
A top-venting fireplace sends heat straight up into the screen; only a front-venting electric unit belongs beneath a TV.
Skipping cable conduit
Wiring buried directly in the wall makes future upgrades a demolition job, whereas conduit lets new cables pull through easily.
