Almost every modern house can boast of a large TV screen. And as engineering and automatization progress moves on TV lovers continue installing bigger and bigger TV screens. Some people might be satisfied with the look of a giant screen right in the middle of their guestroom. But there are also those who don’t share these feelings about technological advancements and don’t believe that huge screen shows the luxury level. Sometimes the best solution for their problem is the installation of the motorized TV lift that allows hiding the monitor each time after watching.
Installation of specially designed TV lift constructions provides homeowners with a unique chance to free some additional space for their purposes other than just watching TV series. Also, large plasma screen is not always the most appropriate interior element when it comes to the vintage-designed old-fashioned interior styles. However, dropping the idea of installing a large plasma screen for the favorite TV shows watching. Here is where the automated TV lift will come in handy allowing to hide the screen from the plain sight.
The motorized TV lift is the specially-designed construction that can be placed into almost any piece of furniture (usually automated TV cabinet), a small closet, or any other piece of house furniture large enough for TV screen placing. The bottom line is that you can hide the TV inside when it is not needed. And when the customer decides to look at his favorite programs again, just a single button press will turn the TV screen into the functional position.
The simplest way of making your own TV lift cabinet is to make it out of the already available cabinet which has the relevant dimensions and is suitable to contain the TV lift automation construction and the TV screen inside. The first and the most important step when creating your TV cabinet is cutting the rectangular hole on its surface. This cabinet top part will serve as the hatchway through which your screen will be moving when operated via the remote control and underneath which the plasma screen will be safely hidden from hyperactive children, pets, and during the wet cleaning.
Think about the necessity of the hatchway in your particular case and what it can give you. If you need the hatchway, you can attach the sawn-out board and add a special spring so that when you launch the automation mechanism of the elevator via remote control – hatchway would open by itself. The hatchway part can be attached back to the cabinet after it was sawn-out with the help of a piano hinge that has numerous holes for the screws. The piano hinge will provide the TV cabinet with smooth, reliable, and fully silent movement when opened and closed.
With technologies supplied by Progressive Automations – the undoubted linear motion automation leader in the United States and Canada, customers will have a chance to design their own linear motion projects and construct their own automated pieces of furniture by their own hands. Having reliable and multifunctional technology always leaves enough space for variations and more effective and creative ideas. Even building the automated TV lift cabinets having the linear motion TV lift at home won’t be a problem.
Making the hatchway accurately and designing the blueprint of your future DIY project with extreme attention is always important as poorly functioning hatchway can lead to malfunctioning and even to the breakdown of the whole construction. Successful projects always require more time for preparation than for the work itself, that the reason why most difficulties will always be obvious already during the planning stage. Consequently, leaving this stage unfinished to accelerate the work tempo would not be the best idea. But when taking into account all the details, you will surely make the best TV lift cabinet.
