Domestic
One of the key characteristics of a home theatre cinematic set up is the sound. Multiple surround-sound speakers immerse you in a sonic experience, every bit as thrilling as the visuals. That comes at a price though, and soundproofing is essential in order to enjoy your home cinema to the max, without the film soundtrack reverberating throughout your home, or into the neighbours.
Very often today, a home cinema room is more of a multi-media space for films, gaming and music, so creating a sound-tight room is essential for letting all the family enjoy their noisy pursuits. There are a host of techniques we use at City Insulation to ensure that an optimal environment is created for exceptional sound quality, great acoustics and privacy assured.
Our Independent Wall system and Clip Direct to Wall system are designed to minimise sound transmission through walls, creating a barrier between the home cinema and surrounding rooms.
Our soundproofed ceiling systems and acoustic solutions lessen sound leakage and prevent sound reflections. By adding resilient channels or sound clips to decouple the ceiling from the structure, we reduce vibrations and further enhance soundproofing. We can also install soundproof underlayment or carpet padding to reduce impact noise from footsteps. Thick rugs and carpets also absorb sound reflections.
The thorough sealing of gaps, cracks, and openings in doors, windows, and walls can effectively seal these areas, preventing sound from leaking in or out of the home cinema. By upgrading windows and doors, for example replacing hollow-core doors with solid doors offer better sound insulation and secondary acoustic glazing further reduces unwanted external noises.
We implement a wide range of sound isolation techniques, constructing double walls and using resilient channels and acoustic insulation. These create an isolated space in the room, reducing sound transmission to and from adjacent areas.
The addition of acoustic panels, diffusers, bass traps, and sound-absorbing materials are strategically placed in the home cinema. These treatments control sound reflections, improve clarity, and enhance the overall acoustics of the room.
City Insulation collaborates with a local Audio-Visual specialist, in order to offer a fully holistic service in home cinema. Together, we take care of everything, designing the appropriate dynamics for a room, combined with the very best equipment to budget so that you’re assured of an exceptional sound for cinema.
It’s also worth saying here that we work in collaboration with an audio visual specialist – they basically take care of the design and installation of all the AV so we can provide the customer with a full cradle to grave process (that’s not the right phrase but you’ll put it more eloquently than that!)
City Insulation relishes the opportunity to create soundproofed, acoustically designed cinema and multi-media rooms. Such spaces are our ultimate challenge, and we rise to the occasion to give you a unique space in your home that is a place to relax, entertain and to share quality family time.
