Movie Theaters

Home theaters are no longer only an extravagance for the rich and famous. Thanks to more affordable technology, many families are enjoying a true movie theater experience without leaving home. If you're thinking about building a home theater visit a local site or get a good referral to find a design build professional. The ideal space for a home theater is 20 feet long by 13 feet wide and relatively isolated from the rest of the house. It has to be in a place that does not interrupt the business of the home, you don't want the sound disturbing everyone. Good options include; Building a theater wing off the family room, converting a living room, closing in the open second-story space above a formal living room, converting a spare bedroom that's at least 12 by 12 feet. Building the shell of a home theater is similar to building any other addition to your home with one exception. You'll want to pay special attention to insulation. A rating of R30 is standard for the floor, ceiling, and exterior wall insulation, but don't neglect the interior walls. Loosely packed R11 can help keep the sound of movie explosions from rocking the rest of your home. It won't block the noise completely, though.

Appropriate lighting is essential for creating a movie theater atmosphere. This includes recessed lighting in the ceiling and sconces along the side walls. Connecting the lights to an RF dimmer will let you control them with the same RF remote you use for the projector. You can even set the lights to auto-dim when you press play.

You can furnish your theater with comfy sofas and loveseats. But for the real deal, you'll want to install authentic theater-style seating. Two rows of four seats will fit comfortably in a 20 by 13 theater. For better viewing, elevate the back row with a pre-built platform. Theater seating comes in a wide range of styles, including genuine leather with cup-holders in the armrests. These are the kind of seats that beckon you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the feature presentation!

Most home theaters use a 7.1 surround sound system. This includes one subwoofer and seven channel speakers – left, right, center, two side surrounds, and two rear surrounds. Some home theaters now use 9.1 surround sound. This adds another set of speakers in the front of the room.
