Hello friends.
Let me preface my questions by first saying thank you in advance for considering to help a newbie at media room construction.
I have attached a sketch of my basement as well as pictures of what I want to closely duplicate with a few adjustments. I prefer to have the designer of this picture do it but it appears it may be too costly for me. His work is amazing and he is such a nice guy. If I can afford him I would like to. We will see if he can work with me.
Main questions:
I want a stage curtain to shield the stage in front and then manually retract backwards (on both sides) to the final resting place you see in this picture. The challenge is aesthetic consideration for the track, which track to choose, and finding a stage curtain that is both AT as well as looks like a stage curtain.
What projector and screen to use? My ceiling is 8' high and the first and only row of seating is approx. 15' from where the screen would be. I have an underground basement. I am searching for an electric projection screen. The one used below is 110". The area the stage will be is the wall opposite the bar and immediately to your left as you come down the stairs.
Wood. I want a durable hardwood but I am sure using cherry wood like the designer did is costing me more than maybe I need. What woods would look pretty but be less expensive?
The stage below is about 16" high and has pull out drawers. To cut cost I will forgo the drawers and build 8" high as my ceiling is only 8' verses 9' in the pictures below.
Any initial feedback?
