Soundproofing a home theatre using mass loaded vinyl curtains or acoustic door seal kit

It seems nice being in the DIY type of business like soundproofing. In this contemporary world, taking the family out on a Friday night for dinner and a movie may cost you more than your monthly mortgage payment. This is why several families are opting for their own home theatre. If you have an empty room or an empty space in your basement, you have a possible home theater.

It used to be that the best way to build a home studio or a home theater was to construct a new wall with the current room and then build a room within a room. Although this technique with a door sound barrier is still very effective, it is expensive and may eat up much space in your theater room.

A better idea is to work with your current walls by applying a new layer of drywall to the current ceiling and walls but applying a layer of a product known as an acoustic door seal kit makes sense. If you do this, you are well on your way to an excellent soundproof home theater.

Other worries you may have with your home theater would be windows and doors. Let us talk about the windows for a minute. If you are trying to maintain the sound of the movie with the home theater, then noise curtains is the best option for soundproofing.

We should discuss more about the windows of your home theater. If neighbors are a concern, then I would recommend using mass loaded vinyl curtains. It is recommended that the window plug should be glued to a backer board, something such as wood paneling. You can easily get these wood panels in a local store or online.
