HOME THEATER DESIGN SERVICES
There are several major component groups that must be considered. Skipping or skimping on one or more of these will likely leave you with a less than optimal movie experience. The right components placed and installed correctly will give you that movie magic you're seeking.
Complete Home Theater/Media Room Design includes:
Floor Plan Drawings
We'll develop several floor plans. You then choose the one that works best for you and your family. The floor plans will show seating options and locations for the audio and video equipment. They also offer solutions to any problem areas in your room.Full Color, 3-Dimensional Drawings
After you choose a floor plan, we create a full color, three-dimensional drawing or drawings to show you how your finished room will look. You can use this drawing or drawings to make changes to the design. If you prefer to see several designs, we will be happy to oblige. The final fee for this service will depend upon how many or how elaborate the design(s).Construction Layout
We create separate floor plans (drawn to scale), each showing one of the home theater or media room elements electrical, seating location, seat risers, equipment rack, soffits, acoustic products, fiber optic stars, etc.Acoustic Requirements, Treatments and Soundproofing
Because acoustics play such a crucial role in a home theater or media room, getting them right is a must. The room you're creating your home theater in probably wasn't designed to be a home theater or media room. That means the acoustics and soundproofing will likely need to be upgraded.
So when possible, it's best to develop your home theater or media room plan from the outside of the room inward. The room's size, shape, original construction materials and a myriad of other factors will determine exactly what you'll need for soundproofing and acoustic materials, where best to locate equipment and speakers, the positioning of seating and even the best types of decorative materials to use.
As the design is developed, the various acoustic and sound-proofing products that will provide optimum sound quality and effect are taken into consideration. Absorption panels, flooring materials, wall treatments, diffuser panels and bass trapping are just a few of the materials we can use in an existing room to give you tremendous sound.Construction Tips
If you're a do-it-yourselfer, we'll give you invaluable insight into the various phases of construction: walls and ceilings, sound proofing, risers, equipment installation and wiring whatever your home theater or media room requires. If you plan to hire a contractor, we'll be happy to work will work with them.Furniture and Color Selection
The type of seating and its location is very important. To make sure your home theater or media room seating affords you maximum comfort and functionality, we'll discuss various options with you before the final plan is drawn.Screen Selection
Room size, type of projection system and the size and ratio aspect must be considered. We must also consider whether the screen will be in a fixed position, or if it will be either a motorized or manual pull-down model.Speaker Selection and Location
The type of speakers and their location are one of the most critical components in a home theater or media room. The sound is a big part to create the movie magic; without the proper speaker in the correct location is like listening to a live band on stage behind a glass all, you can see action but can't hear a thing, the question... what are you missing?Lighting Fixtures, Dimmers, Controls and Fiber Optics
The proper lighting and controls deliver both ambiance and convenience. Getting the lighting right can be time-consuming, expensive and frustrating. We'll show you how to do it.Remote Controls
The technology to control today's equipment can be very confusing, but it will also makes it possible and easy for you to control even the most sophisticated system with just a touch of a button. Convenience is a must for a home theater or media room and the right remote control makes it possible.
