Cinema carpeting: the comfort and acoustic trump card for your theater
Carpeting is an integral part of traditional cinema décor. In fact, it provides great comfort for spectators. On the one hand, it's pleasant underfoot. On the other, it contributes to soundproofing the room. How do you choose a carpet for your cinema ? We give you our best advice!
Cinema carpet: much more than just a floor covering
Soundproofing: how does it work?
Acoustic comfort in a cinema is extremely important. Therefore soundproof carpet is the perfect soundproofing solution for your cinema, keeping noise away from your neighbors. This floor covering absorbs sound and stops sound transmission from one room to another. It therefore attenuates bumps and footsteps. What's more, it also absorbs sounds within a room and their echoes thanks to its underlay, which can be reinforced with a specific acoustic underlay.
The aesthetic and sensory impact of carpeting in movie theaters
Carpeting in a cinema is one of the familiar elements that contribute to the room's atmosphere. In addition to black walls and ceiling, red carpet is a must! It also provides great comfort for spectators, with a soft floor under their feet.
Carpet types for movie theaters
Carpet rolls: quality criteria
You have the choice of installing either roll or tile carpeting in your cinema. A velour roll carpet must be of the highest quality. It must withstand the heavy traffic your theater will experience over the years.
Acoustic carpet tiles: installation and benefits
However, we strongly advise you to use acoustic carpet tiles. They're quick to install and require no glue. They protect your floor and are easy to remove for cleaning or replacement. They're sure to make life easier for your operations department.
These tiles are acoustically treated and durable. Suitable for high-traffic areasIdeal for high-traffic areas, they're also ideal for your busy business. What's more, these products can be recycled or even reused, depending on their condition at the time of removal. The removal of a large cinema floor could provide carpet for a smaller cinema.
Practical tips for designing a cinema room
Choosing the right furnishings: from chair to upholstery
The design of a movie theater meets the comfort needs of the audience. In addition to the large screen and light-absorbing black walls, you need to think about the moment when the viewer is seated. Seating is essential, so make sure the chair is comfortable and soft to the touch.
Flooring must prevent heat loss and provide insulation. Carpet absorbs heat and ensures thermal comfort in the room, for the well-being of customers. It's also a safe floor covering. Carpet is slip-resistant: it prevents slips and cushions falls.

Advantages and disadvantages of laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing, but sensitive to wear. This means they need to be changed fairly often, especially if they are subject to heavy traffic. What's more, their sound insulation is poor, as they are sensitive to resonance. Laminate flooring is therefore not the ideal material for a cinema.
Opt instead for a quality carpet for your cinema! It's more resistant to wear and tear.
