Custom Home Theatre Design & Installation

    Dedicated cinema rooms engineered from architectural drawings to opening night. Acoustic treatment, riser geometry, speaker placement, and calibration handled in-house.

    What We Design

    Reference-Grade Cinemas

    Acoustically treated, fully blacked-out rooms with tiered seating, Atmos overhead layouts, and reference projection.

    Cottage Media Theatres

    Flex spaces that perform like dedicated theatres — laser projection, calibrated audio, and lighting scenes for true cinema mode.

    Hybrid Living Theatres

    Great rooms with hidden cinema capability — drop-down screens, in-ceiling speakers, and lights that transform the space on a single press.

    Light Commercial Screening Rooms

    Boardroom and training room conversions with reference picture, even coverage, and reliable single-press control.

    What's Included

    Architectural Coordination

    Drawings reviewed before framing — soffit, riser, conduit, and electrical detailed for your builder.

    Acoustic Treatment Plan

    Absorption, diffusion, and bass traps placed by measurement — not generic foam on every wall.

    Dolby Atmos Speaker Layout

    Atmos-compliant geometry calculated for the actual room — typically 7.2.4 or 9.2.6 for dedicated cinemas.

    Riser Construction Specs

    Riser dimensions, height, and step-back handed directly to your builder so sightlines and acoustics work together.

    Display Sized to Room

    Projector or large-format display sized to viewing distance, seating height, and ambient light conditions.

    Screen Material Selection

    Acoustically transparent, ambient-light-rejecting, or reference white — chosen for the room and the speaker layout.

    Seating & Sightlines

    Seating layout and sightline calculations for every seat, including riser height and screen-to-eye geometry.

    Equipment Rack Design

    Bench-built rack with cable management, remote-managed power, and full documentation handed over at closeout.

    Lighting & Shade Integration

    Cinema mode programmed into the room — lights dim, shades drop, projector fires, screen drops on a single press.

    ISF & Dirac Calibration

    ISF certified video calibration and Dirac Live audio room correction performed at handover, not skipped.

    Our Process

    1

    Discovery

    Understand how the room will actually be used — movies, sports, gaming, music, mixed use.

    2

    Architectural Review

    Drawings, geometry, and acoustics reviewed before framing decisions are locked in.

    3

    Equipment Specification

    Projector, screen, processor, amplifiers, and speakers chosen for the room and the goals.

    4

    Pre-Construction Coordination

    Work directly with your builder before drywall — conduit, riser, and rough-in detailed.

    5

    Installation

    Equipment racks bench-built in our Collingwood shop, then installed and connected on site.

    6

    Calibration

    ISF video calibration and Dirac Live audio room correction documented with before/after data.

    7

    Training

    Walkthrough of how to use the system — single-press scenes, source switching, voice control.

    8

    Support

    Annual checkup, software updates, and re-calibration credits as the room evolves.

    Designed For

    Custom Homes

    Dedicated theatre or media rooms designed in at the architectural stage, with riser, soffit, and conduit planned from day one.

    High-End Cottages

    Cinema-grade great rooms in cottage builds — laser projection or large displays that hold up against lakeside light.

    Renovations

    Basement conversions and reclaimed unused space turned into purpose-built cinema rooms with proper acoustic treatment.
