I have been thinking about getting my cellar converted for use as a home cinema for sometime now and need some help and guidance on the matter of converting it. I can get a local company to tank and plasterboard the cellar and actually convert it into a dry, warm and useable room, it is relatively dry anyway.
It is the sound proofing and room dimensions i need help with.
Please see picture attached, the red line is in front of the wall that will need soundproofing and also the ceiling as this is just floorboards to the lounge. The three thick black walls go to the ground and are not attached to neighbours so i assume this will not need any form of sound proofing.
What material do i need to use for soundproofing the wall and how do i go about that. Also how do i soundproof the floor boards, can i just glue or staple rock wool (is it) to them. The gap between the joists varies between four and six inch, is this wide enough, there is plenty of depth in the joists.
Finally the room once complete will be 11ft x 11ft approx and just over 6ft high, will this be a problem with my pj etc.
Finally finally has anyone converted a cellar into a cinema and was it worth doing as this will cost me several thousand once done, Thanks Inza
