Hello all!
I have a dedicated home theater room I'm trying to get up and going, and had some general questions about noise, heat, and light insulation.
The specified room is upstairs, and the stairway entry into the room is open (no door). directly to the left is a door that goes out into a 25' x 5' sunroom w/ 7 windows. The only window in the theater room itself is along the back wall, which will be directly to the left of the viewing angle when everything is setup.
What kind of device can I build to help block out the light and heat, as well as dampening audio? I have seen a similar thread here someone posted but I have no idea about the materials being discussed, and if anyone has the time available would really appreciate a detailed description on what I can do.. whether it's a plug or material I can drap over the window itself, I'm all ears.
Also, I live in Texas so it's no shocker that it is hot. Especially right now, and unfortunately I only have two 10" A/C vents upstairs, and the cold air just doesn't seem to keep. I'm thinking I need to apply some weatherproof stripping along the door between the Sunroom, as that little area gets very hot and has no ventilation... so I'm sure there is a lot heat that seeps into theater room. I'm going to try and get someone to come out and re-insulate the crawl space over this room (it was initially an addon built by the previous owner about 15 years ago) so that should help. But any extra ideas here would help out as well.
