LIGHT SOURCES

Home theaters need to be isolated from as much outdoor and indoor lighting as possible. If you can’t place the home theater in the basement or another secluded area of the house, you want to use any other means at your disposal to reduce the amount of ambient light. One way you can do this is with motorized shades. These shades are designed to let as little light in as possible around the edges, and they’re very easy for your clients to use. Motorized shades also pair well with lighting control systems; the shades block light from outside the room, while lighting control gives residents more fine control over the lighting in the room. We have extensive experience with both these systems, and we’d be glad to lend you our expertise.

SOUND AND SPEAKERS

The right sound setup is crucial in any home theater; you want to create a soundscape where everyone in the room has a pleasant experience. We can help you place speakers for optimal sound quality and intensity. Additionally, we can install the latest in surround sound technology, such as Dolby Atmos systems that offer unprecedented audio immersion.

HIDE THE WIRING

Let’s face it: Visible wiring is an eyesore in any room, so concealing the wiring in your home theater becomes a vital part of your design process. Fortunately, we’re familiar with this problem and have come up with various solutions. For starters, we can place speakers in the walls or ceiling to hide them from view, and we can mount the display in such a way that nobody will ever see the cables.
