The basic building block of any entertainment system is sound but I’m going to add flooring to that list. Without the perfect flooring from Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas or San Luis Obispo your home theatre could fall short of providing your family with great entertainment.
Not everyone can afford a home theatre so many family rooms are now, in fact, media rooms. The flat screen TV is “center stage” of most homes so the furniture and flooring must fit the décor. Choosing flooring that is soundproof, easy to clean, and is stain resistant and longwearing is also a good idea, since the average media room gets plenty of use. Take a look at some designer media rooms that are perfect for relaxing, studying or just watching TV.
If you want to add the perfect flooring to your media room or home theater, here are some tips you can use to help make the right decision.
As I was researching this topic, I discovered that carpet is used most often in a home theatre environment because it provides the correct balance of acoustics, while complementing the design of the room. There is carpeting that is specifically designed for media rooms and home theaters, basically any dense carpeting will do the trick. Color is also important. Don’t choose light or brightly colored carpeting, since it can reflect the light from the screen, causing less than optimal viewing conditions. Dark carpet will absorb the light and will be easy to clean when the inevitable spill occurs. Cinderella carries all the finest carpet brands that would be perfect for your media room.
Hardwood can also be used if absolutely necessary. You can buy a good floating product and install cork underlayment under it. Cork has a natural acoustic insulating quality, which will help prevent a loss in audio quality in the room. You can also use cork flooring which will put the insulator directly at the top layer of the flooring. This will help retain sound quality just like the use of carpet. Cinderella has a full range of cork products that will bring out the inner beauty of your dedicated home theatre.
So, before you buy that enormous flat screen, install that sound system, fire up the amplifiers, and purchase the furniture, make sure you have paid close attention to all the details – especially the FLOORS!
