With the prevalence of basements in Atlanta homes, this is one of the primary areas that people choose to use when installing a dedicated Home Theater. There are a lot of reasons that a basement can be a good location for this feature including the fact that the out of the way location makes it the perfect place to escape. There are however specific concerns that should be addressed when installing a Home Theater in your basement.

As Home Theater experts in the Atlanta area, the team at BRAVAS Atlanta can help you plan for these issues in order to maximize your experience and investment. Moisture is probably one of the biggest concerns that must be addressed. Remember that you are dealing with an unconditioned underground space. Ensuring that the space has proper drainage and no potential areas for leaking is important. In addition, making sure that you have a proper HVAC system and dehumidifier (preferably a separate system from other parts of the home) to control the temperature and humidity levels is also important. Mechanicals housed in the basement can also be an issue, many times HVAC ducting, plumbing, and electrical hang below your proposed ceiling height and affect the placement of projectors, speakers, screens, etc...

As a professional installer of Home Theaters, we can determine if relocation of any of these elements is necessary. Room sizing can also be an issue as basements often contain walls that function as load-bearing for the upper floors of the home. It is necessary to make sure any partition walls that are removed are of the non-load bearing variety or that appropriate beams or supports are used to maintain the structural integrity of your home.
