Hi
Have looked through threads and gathered a lot of great ideas about Garage home cinemas, I struck lucky and my wife suggested repurposing the garage office to home cinema rather than doing this in the lounge
Although the garage needs a bit of a rethink:
a) Hoping to raise the ceiling by at least 30cm
b) block off the Firedoor to garage a relocate (so wall can be used with an AT screen)
c) soundproofing
My garage is quite narrow. Currently the office (where it will be the cinema room) has a width of 226cm.. the bare garage is 261cm .. so by my estimate the insulation process has reduced width by 35cm, my neighbour have had their garage converted therefore also insulated so only walls exposed to outside is the garden section
Question is (I'm not expert in insulation and soundproofing) is it worth stripping the office down and work on thinner + soundproofing insulation (still compliant to building regs) and also be able to use a low profile soundproofing system like Geneclip ?
I'm hoping to leave enough width to fit in 100 inch screen
thanks and any advice appreciated!
