Planning for a Home Theater

This is a basement finishing project that we completed in Overland Park, Ks. The basement remodel features a home theater that boast a 100" projector screen. Not all basements can handle such a large screen. Low ceiling height and odd shape rooms make some basements a bad fit for such a large screen. This screen need every inch of ceiling height to make room for the cabinets that sit below the projector screen. Check out our method to gain ceiling height when framing a basement.

A built in surround sound system is a great way to enhance your newly finished basement. This basement features a 7.1 Surround sound system. The mid and rear speakers are flush mounted in ceiling speakers that were painted the same color as the ceiling and look nice against knock down texture ceiling. This specific room of the basement has four different lighting zones. All zones are controlled by dimmer switches. The fireplace that we used on this Overland Park basement remodeling project is a ventless unit that makes for an easy installation.
