What’s the Difference Between a Main-Floor Media Room and a Basement Home Theater?

Both can deliver incredible entertainment — but the design, soundproofing, and construction needs change dramatically depending on where your home theater is located.

Feature Main-Floor Media Room Basement Home Theater
Purpose Everyday TV, gaming, or family movie nights Dedicated cinematic experience
Lighting Control Natural light with blackout shades or curtains Naturally darker — ideal for full theater lighting
Soundproofing Basic insulation and acoustic panels Full sound isolation with wall, ceiling, and floor treatment
Ceiling Height Standard 8–9 ft ceilings Often lower, may require recessed lighting or tiered seating
Comfort & Atmosphere Multipurpose comfort — part of open-plan living Immersive, enclosed cinema environment
Design Features Media wall, soundbar, hidden wiring Projector setup, surround sound, custom seating, acoustic walls

We design and build both — from cozy media rooms for everyday use to full-scale, soundproofed home theaters built for the ultimate movie experience.

Legal & Code Considerations, Especially for Basement Theaters

Building a home theater in your basement? We’ll guide you through Utah’s essential building and electrical code requirements to make sure your space is safe, compliant, and optimized for performance:

  • Electrical Load & Dedicated Circuits – Home theaters require multiple outlets, lighting, and AV systems. We install dedicated circuits and ensure your subpanel can handle the demand.
  • Proper Ventilation & HVAC Integration – Enclosed rooms need proper airflow and temperature control to keep your equipment cool and the room comfortable.
  • Soundproofing & Fire-Rated Insulation – We use code-approved materials that minimize noise transfer while meeting fire-safety and insulation standards.
  • Lighting & Wiring Safety – GFCI outlets, recessed lighting, and low-voltage wiring are installed per Utah electrical code to ensure both safety and functionality.
  • Egress & Accessibility – If the room is part of a finished basement or living area, we’ll confirm window egress and access points meet Utah’s safety requirements.

We handle permitting, inspections, and compliance so your home theater is fully legal, safe, and built to perform beautifully.

What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

"We had Pro-Worx finish our basement. We did 2 bedrooms, a family room, bathroom, wet bar, and several closets. This sounds so funny but I was most particular about how I wanted my closets because we were losing our storage space by finishing the basement. They created exactly what i hoped for. Bryant (company owner) and Kerry (project supervisor) both took time walking through the space with me discussing EVERY detail"

— Lauren Jaffa.

★★★★★
