The Ultimate Family Luxury: A Theatre Room
The lights dim and the warm smell of popcorn bathed in butter washes over you. The screen comes to life and your heart jolts as the room fills with the sound of the movie's opening song. The bass is so good you can feel the music.
You're not in a movie theatre.
You're in your movie theatre.
The Popularity of Theatre Rooms
In the luxury custom homes we build at Kennedy + Kenel, theatre rooms are a popular request. In fact, according to Grandview Research Firm, more than 40 % of all U.S. homes now have a home cinema of some kind.
"Why?" you may ask...
They're a great investment both for resale and your family's enjoyment.
Imagine having your own space for movie nights and game days, to create lasting memories.
How We Soundproof Our Theatre Rooms
- Inside of the speaker box, we use SONOpan, which is high density soundproofing board. These sheets are screwed into the ceiling joists.
- The joist spaces are filled with ROCKWOOL Comfortbatt for additional insulation.
- And the joists are strapped down with Resilient Channel, which dampens sound waves. Then, the area is drywalled, providing optimal soundproofing.
When it comes to soundproofing a home space, either do or do not. There is no try.
