As these rooms are high use areas, special attention should be given to the toughness and durability of linings, trims and surface finishes to provide extra protection from marks, scratches, dents or holes.
No one wants to spend unnecessary time and money repairing damage to wall surfaces and linings. This can be prevented simply by planning carefully and specifying purpose built materials up front to ensure that your interiors keep looking good for longer.
These rooms can also be noise generating rooms, potentially disturbing people in other rooms nearby.
These problems can be avoided by incorporating a properly installed GIB Quiet Zone® or GIB Tough Zone®.
BUILDING: The best time to install a properly sound control media room is when you are building a new home. To reduce noise generated in these rooms disturbing those in other rooms, a GIB Quiet Zone® should be installed. Rumpus and family rooms will benefit from being installed with a GIB Tough Zone® incorporating GIB Toughline® for walls, solid core door, solid timber trims and specific Resene paint systems.
RENOVATING: First remove the old linings. This is a great opportunity to add comfort by installing insulation and convenience by adding or relocating power points. Check the condition of plumbing and framing. Install a GIB Tough Zone or GIB Quiet Zone® depending on the intended use of your family room.
