Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions French doors or theater type doors to fix FR.

I don't put a lot of stalk into what you're saying, but rather what you're doing.

Stalk is cheap....

Look who's stalking.

This is weird. It's really hard to type after playing piano. My hands are programmed differently right now.

Randy I don't know how concerned you are with soundproofing and the doors but we installed outside double doors between the TV room and the rest of the house, whenever the doors are closed tight it does a tremendous job with containing the sound in the TV room, which being an enclosed patio is all cinder block wall between the room and the remainder of the house. With the block construction between that room and the rest of the house it's really unbelievable just how well the sound is contained to the room and the outside insulated doors just add to the soundproofing.

A thought to keep in mind if soundproofing is a factor for you.

Thanks Rick, I love those pics. The room is in our basement and totally under ground, except for one corner which is the walkout to the back hard. It is very insulated with Iceblock foundation, which beats the heck out of a standard poured foundation.

The problem is the opening into the other side of the basement is like 7ft wide by 9ft tall. A lot of my low bass is being sucked down that large hallway. I'm pretty sure if I close that off, it will make a huge difference. The whole basement is carpeted with the same thick pad/carpeting, so I really don't want a bottom sill, like you get with exterior doors.

I'll have to shop around some more, but these 6 panel solid oak doors are real nice and seal up tightly it appears...

The solid oak doors should do you good then Randy, should be great for the sound and I bet you will hear a difference with the SQ ... for the better.

Another thing is that the HT portion of my room is over to one side, with the other side being the bar and pooltable, etc. I only wish I would have built a dedicated HT room like yours...

I didn't have a choice, it was either doing what we did or building an addition onto the house, which was actually a consideration and had plans drawn up for an addition. If you look close on the right side on the floor from inside the TV room are several boxes of Armstrong laminated flooring that I am getting ready to lay down on the back 1/3 of the room and then we'll add a bar in back of the couch with a granite top to match the granite counter tops in the kitchen ... I have to do something to that room to give it more flexibility for social gatherings.

Always something.
