OK, I'm sold on the HVAC idea and I'll be looking to incorporate it into this build. I will be moving the computer room next door, so it'd make sense to include some ducting for that too.
@Richeh - you're right, I titled the thread to inform that this isn't a lounge but a room that will be used for watching films in surround sound on a big fixed screen using a projector - it just so happens that I'll also use it for music and playing the odd game - so media room will probably be more accurate.
I used the phrase in the fullness of time as I need to save for another year to have sufficient funds for the house extension that's needed to give me the space that I need for this. I'll probably be another year before I've got all the kit and furniture that will be going into this - it's going to be very expensive.
@lucid - free advice indeed, but I've already learnt a lot from you guys and I really appreciate it (hopefully other readers will get some pointers from this thread too) - presumably Preston is too far away from you to get more directly involved in this - loved the pics you posted - what system do you have at home?
@Warbie - like the fabric panels idea - I'm thinking fabric panels and with perhaps a sliding wooden panel on runners to cover the window when required.
@Rroff - as mentioned above HVAC is looking like a goer.
What are peoples experiences with accoustic treament of their rooms?
