Browse Forums Building A New House Re: should i tell them? should i???? 26Jul 09, 2007 3:48 pm Two things to add.
PD built our house with 8foot six inch ceilings(it should have been 8'),that's about a $2500+ upgrade. They picked it up early on and advised us that if we were not happy with it then they would renovate.However if we wanted to keep it as it was then it was ours for free . Now as far as tiles in home theatre/rumpus...I would have thought that the acoustics would be better with carpet rather than tile.Echo Echo Echo Re: should i tell them? should i???? 27Jul 09, 2007 4:25 pm So it seems the thing to do is to add in a bunch of expensive variations, keep them in as long as possible and then remove them without much fuss. Then keep fingers crossed.
Wish I had done that. Re: should i tell them? should i???? 28Jul 09, 2007 4:34 pm Amber YSSIM - I guess having tiles in a theatre room wouldn't be ideal?? Matt could answer that better i guess (I'm sure there are some acoustic reasons not to have them). But if it's more a general chill out room, rather than dedicated theatre room, don't see why the tiles couldn't stay!! Spot On Amber!! Tiles = Sound reflection.... The room will tend towards a tinny sound. However this can be overcome (to a degree) with extra furnishings like couch placement and heavy drapes etc... Oh and a really big heavy rug...

Re: should i tell them? should i???? 30Jul 09, 2007 6:31 pm Thanks for the replies guys. And yes, I had thought about the same thing as you have all mentioned. I should then mention that this room is not a dedicated theatre room but a multi-purpose room instead as Amber said.
