Creating a Home Theater in a Weekend

Tips and techniques for a successful project.

Creating a home theater can be a great do-it-yourself project. With some basic carpentry skills, electrical know-how and Owens Corning QuietZone® noise control products, you can create a home entertainment center in an existing room by following these basic steps:

  • Remove existing drywall to expose wall studs and ceiling joists
  • Gain access to floor joists (if applicable)
  • While studs are exposed, add wiring for AV equipment and speakers as desired
  • Install QuietZone® insulation batts to walls, ceiling and floor
  • Install new drywall
  • Install AV equipment
  • Add furnishings and acoustical enhancements as desired (for best acoustics, avoid items with hard surfaces)
  • Relax and enjoy the show!
