Movie Theater Curtain

Death Dream · 10-06-2009, 10:50 AM

I want to put a Theater Curtain up along my wall with my windows and door to my deck. I've attached a picture (picture is kinda outdated now that I have my sound system all wired) that shows what I am looking at doing.

Has anyone done anything like this before? I am thinking a one piece curtain would be good because I don't have any plans on opening my windows, but if its cheaper to go with a two piece I might do that as well. No idea how I would hang something like this on such a long wall though. Was hoping for some advice on how to tackle this project.

Thanks

what kind of budget have you set yourself? http://www.automaticblindsdirect.co....riccurtain.php is not to bad a price for a 6 meter. This is a UK site, but a little search you should find the same stateside.

Not to sure what my budget is to be honest. I really want to do this, so if its expensive, so be it, but if I can find better I will try.

To save on price I won't do the remote thing, the curtain will be stationary as I wont move it once its in place.

I'm also in the states.

Check the link below. I don't know anything about the site, but I have done drapes before. All you need is a drapery rod suspended from the sides, supported along the way as necessary, and one of the room darkening drapes like shown at the link, and available at most drapery departments of any store. They sell the necessary hardware, but it's brackets you attach to the wall, which stick out and you suspend the drapery rod on the brackets. You buy as many as you need to hold up the weight of the drape. Some rods allow you to put sliding loops at the top of the drapes in case you need to open it, and others are stationary, you pick what you want and as many panels as you need for the area.

Shouldn't cost too much.

I like the ceiling curtain track idea. I was thinking about the rod idea the whole time as clearday was saying, but the ceiling track seems cleaner. Although I'm not sure how I feel screwing holes into my ceiling as it is textured too.

Do you guys know where I would get a very long curtain from? Its a long wall I want covered. I got to get the measurements at some point lol. I was looking online and saw a site that had what I wanted just the price was OMG jaw dropping.

What is your budget for this project?

I used these for the half open wall that I have and they are nice with plenty of color choices. http://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/ac...l_curtains.htm

How much does it cost? I can't find any pricing anywhere on that site. I do like their selection though.

My wall is 18 feet wide and 8 feet high. How did you measure the curtains? With the hanging loops on top would that count for 3-5inches on the high or would you not count that? Not huge on the loops but acceptable.

Would like to stay between $500-$1000 if possible.

Call the 800 number and tell them exactly what you need and they will give you a price..

Alright, I'll give them a call sometime this week. Going to ask if they have any black friday sales or anything this holiday season, might just wait for that alone to save some money.
