Projector Cables.

8 years ago

We're in the process of creating a living room cum cinema room in a similar scenario, my question is how did you conceal the power and video cables for the projector along the beams. Regards

I don't have an answer to your question because the homeowner worked directly with the vendor. It is possible that cables simply run along the top of the cross tie or a channel was routed into the top of the cross tie and then through the rafter to run power and video cable, but I wasn't involved to confirm that...sorry! Best wishes to you in your project!

mrshste ... and I thought I was alone in disliking en suites for the same reason! I said this to a real estate agent yesterday and he looked totally confused ... like I was a martian from another planet ... it did make me laugh. I also agree with you re modern bland supposed minimalism ... although I love the original concept of minimalism which was anything but bland or even very white.

Hi Lee, No problem : ) With the LED tape, it depends upon how happy you are with soldering : / The tape can be cut at set marked places. It is then possible to solder wires on at these points and then extend the tape. Personally, in your case, I wouldn't cut the tape yet but wait until the integrated dishwasher arrives. Depending upon the model of the dishwasher, it may be possible to fit the aluminium extrusion to the underside of the units and run it past the dishwasher without the door catching. If this isn't possible, you may need to cut the tape and use a joint to fit the extrusion to the plinth under the dishwasher. If you use a slightly deeper extrusion, you can mount the extrusion onto the plinth under the dishwasher by putting the double sided tape onto the side of the extrusion. I think that I probably need to do you a drawing of this to show you what I mean! Do you know which model of integrated dishwasher you're going to fit? Can you remind me where in the country you're based? With the projectors, I've heard of Benq but haven't seen either of the models in the flesh. Are you going to be using a screen with them or just beaming onto a wall? With a screen, the brightness of the projector isn't as important as the screens have a higher 'gain' than a white painted wall - meaning more of the light is reflected back to you. You will also need some way of blackening the room out as this will improve the image quite a bit. We have a projector at home after getting rid of the TV. We found that it totally changed our viewing and gaming habits. The lounge is now dark purple (with the white room we had before, the reflections off the side walls were quite noticeable) and we have thick curtains over the window. You won't regret gaming on a projector : ) We use ours mainly for Skyrim : ) Projectors don't hold their value very well, (we bought ours used), but there should still be bargains to be had with new ones. If you can't get to see one in the flesh, then try to find one that's reviewed well and buy from a shop that will either let you demo the unit or has a good returns policy. We have a JVC X-7 which we are very pleased with. For a surround sound system, do you want the speakers too or just the processor? It may be easier to go through this on the phone. My numbers on my profile : ) Thanks Peter

Do you prefer fireplace or TV furniture as focal point of living room

Your views pls: we have a large flat screen TV positioned centrally on the chimney breast (not clear on the photo), however the fireplace is offset, not central to the chimney breast. We originally fitted the TV central to the fireplace but it didn't look right as the TV overlapped the right hand edge of the chimney breast. It just doesn't look right in either position. Would it be better in the left alcove (it just fits the width) or the right alcove (which is wider) above one of the bookcases? The other consideration is the TV leads, they cannot be chased into the old stone walls. The sockets are on the left alcove. Thoughts anyone?

Hello Teenytinyhouse, I have to say that I don't watch tv and have not had one for 10 years! I hate them dominating the living room which is not the focus in my eyes! I do love the idea of a roll down canvas for a projector but don't have one as yet but when I do it will be fixed to the ceiling in front of the fireplace roughly... Have to say I like the way you refer to it (TV) as idiot box.. I do miss certain aspects.. Namely.... David Attenborough on anything, Panorama, Scientific programs et al and Columbo! I may have a dvd or two(enty! : ) )
