theater systems are one of the fastest growing product
segments in recent history. Second only to the home office,
much attention is now being paid by both spec. and custom
home builders to address this public demand. In designing
a quality home theater product, special attention must
be given to the shape of the room, the insulation around
the space, and of course the sound reflection within the
room. Fortunately, as long as the first 2 items were taken
into consideration, some of the sound reflection issues
can be worked out afterwards. For this situation, drapery
panels can be installed along the projection and side
walls to help reflect sound into the center of the room.
In addition, upholstered acoustical panels can be installed
in specific areas of the room, to absorb the sound waves
and again reflect the sound back into the center of the
room. If items 1 & 2 were not taken into consideration,
increasing the amount of drapery and acoustical panels
can often provide adequate results. GiCor lodging projects
ltd. offers a full range of drapery and upholstery fabrics
that are suitable for all types of home theater applications.
In addition to sound reflection, light control is another
issue at the top of the list. Drapery and / or shades
can be installed on exterior windows to manage light conditions
and enhance the presentation of the movie. Interfacing
these window coverings with the home theater control system
itself is often desired. There are numerous types of motorized
drapery and shading systems available on the market. All
have the ability to work independently of the theater
controls and most can interface directly with some additional
componentry. If addressed in the planning stages of the
home, basic wiring can be routed to accommodate most systems.
Pockets to conceal drapery tracks or shades can also be
designed into the framework at this stage. Drapery can
even stack into pockets on either side of the screen if
provisions are made early on. Most of these details can
be added with minor changes and cost to construction
GiCor lodging projects ltd. specializes in the pre-planning
stages for all types of motorized shading systems. Call
