Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 446Aug 13, 2020 5:08 pm Freak_Zombie Thank you for your kind words! Really happy with how the theatre room is turning out. Can't wait for restrictions to end! Also can't wait to see how my fireplace will turn out. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 447Aug 13, 2020 9:16 pm Freak_Zombie Didn't have time to edit the photos. Will take some more proper ones once it's all ready. Hope to hear everyone's thoughts. OMG - next level wow! that theatre room is ah-mazing! Well done, even you must be thrilled with how it's turned out! Does it surpass expectations? Study looks great too, love the bat seat.

Sorry for the blurry pix, was just using my phone and it looks better in person. Still a work in progress. Already installed the blinds which are automated, installed double glazing to the window behind it. Installed the projector and cut out a hole in the wall.The projector sits in the walk in robe of my master bedroom. Did so, giving it a more cinema feel as well as hiding the projector. (Plus mainly because I needed that length to project a screen that's 155 inch wide. (cinemascope) The lights are whatever I can control have been setup with my google mini. I have a 7.2.4 speaker setup. Just waiting on my small custom home theatre sign and the motorised curtains and then I'm done for that part. Also attached a picture of my office inside my study room.

Do you need to cut a hole in the plaster board to recess the fireplace though? Also , seems there is no doors to your home theater ? are you plan to use thick curtain instead for sound-proof ? Thx Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 450Aug 14, 2020 2:15 pm Freak Can I ask how much was the tiles flooring for the house ?

Study looks great too, love the bat seat. Boys and their toys hey! Thank you! So far it is. There's a few mistakes that were made but the two major ones turned out to be blessings instead cause the solution worked out even better than what I planned. Still annoyed that certain things aren't as evenly laid out but I guess that's to be expected. sigh Can't wait for the curtains, shelving and mini home theatre sign to be fixed and then it'll be complete! I've also done up the home theatre toilet/powder room. Will post pix once it's ready. (Just re-purposing the common toilet) Haha the bat seat was bought mainly for comfort. It's one of the best made chairs out there. It's by secretlabs. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 452Aug 14, 2020 2:32 pm Scott2233 Freak_Zombie They are finally installing my fireplace.

Thx Thank you! There wasn't a need to cut anything to recess the fireplace. It sits in front of the wall. Yup there's no doors because I wanted that space to feel as open as possible instead of one long narrow corridor. And even with double doors the opening wouldn't be as wide. So I'm installing two layers of block out curtains. Was pretty expensive but would be worth it I hope. It'll be motorised just like the blinds. Plus the curtains would help to absorb the sound reflections. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 453Aug 14, 2020 2:34 pm Renman Freak Can I ask how much was the tiles flooring for the house ? If I remember correctly I paid about $28 500 to upgrade my tiles? I was already provided floor to ceiling package but for category 1. The $28 500 also includes the outdoor tiles which was not part of the package.

Well done. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 459Aug 18, 2020 10:11 am haha do itttt! That's a big space! Definitely more than big enough for an awesome home theatre room. Yeah the original idea was a double cavity sliding door however 2 meters still feels too small for me. Currently my opening is 3.1m and I still wish it was wider. I found all my cavity sliding doors to rattle quite a bit, I wonder if that's still a good idea if you had a powerful sub. Currently I have two layers of block out and sound insulation curtains. (Gotta have that since I didn't want either the entrance or the inside of the room to view the back of the curtains. ) Will let you know in a month's time (or after restrictions are over) if they effective at all.
