AS I SAID MY ROOM IS A LOFT CONVERSION , THE LENGTH IS 20FT ,WIDTH 12 FT, HEIGHT IN CENTRE OF THE ROOM AS A LOFT CONVERSION HAS SLOPING SIDES IS 6FT 8INCHES, FROM FLOOR TO WHERE SLOPE ON SIDE WALLS BEGINS IS 1 M. THERE IS AN ATTACHMENT WITH A BASIC ROOM PLAN.

First, can you please turn off the CAPS lock? Lower case is much easier to read, thanks -
Second, a booth needs all the same things done to work well as any other room, you will find a lot of help to get started understanding what works by reading the first 3-4 subjects in the REFERENCE section, about wall construction, mass-air-mass, etc -
With ceiling heights that low, it's gonna be tricky unless you lay down in the booth - hopefully you can draw a basic sketch showing your ceiling heights (an elevation drawing) - then we can kick some ideas around... Steve
hi thanks for the quick reply i have done a sketch in windows paint but i cant have it as an attachment what can i use to draw the sketch and upload it.
thanks
Aloha carbone,
I use Windoze paint as well. :wink: Be sure to save it as a jpeg or .gif (say around 600 pixels wide), and it should and load up and attach fine.
