1. The most important thing to consider is the leakage of the basement. The first thing to do is to carefully check the entire space for leaks. New basements usually leak better, but old basements are prone to leaks. Leaking water will slowly erode the walls and damage the equipment. This is the most troublesome problem for private cinemas in the basement.

If there is water leakage, various corresponding “weapons” can be used, such as drain pumps, blind ditch, dehumidifier, moisture-proof paint, etc. A perfect private theater should solve any potential serious problems in the early stage of the project, don’t wait for the problem to be solved before thinking about it.

2. Secondly, water pipes, exposed cable pipes, heating, and air conditioning challenge the basement and transform it into a private theater. In the United States, the basement is the best place for many people to install a private theater, but there are also many headaches that need attention.

Pipes may occupy the space of your video and audio equipment. For example, the heating pipe on the ceiling passes through where you want to place the projector. Professional installers know whether to move the projector or change the pipeline route, or choose a projector with lens shift function to easily solve this problem. At the same time, the height of the ceiling is also an issue that needs to be considered, especially when ceiling projectors and rows of seats need to be installed. Installing additional seats at low altitudes is the professional skills and rich experience of the installers.

3. The entrance of the private cinema in the basement should be arranged according to the overall style and the convenience of equipment transportation should be considered. The stairs are narrow and the ceiling is low. What should I do if I want an 80-90 inch large flat-screen TV or a 100 inch or larger projection frame screen? At this time, it may be a good idea to use an electric curtain that can be rolled up, even a large size can be installed.

4. Then pay attention to the problem of sound insulation. Although the basement itself has a good sound insulation effect, according to the characteristics of different rooms, professional customized acoustic materials are used to design the entire room, including sound insulation, sound absorption, and diffusion. Acoustic treatment can be combined with the overall aesthetic design of the room.
