This was a unique project. Please watch and see all the work that goes into installation.

Their products include Maxwell & Williams, Casa Domani, Krosno, Ritzenhoff, Guzzini, and Doozie brands.

Our brief was to provide easy to use display systems for many of the small meeting rooms throughout their main showroom. The backbone of the system is a Crestron processor with various keypads throughout. These provide all control options when using the rooms to show various types of media. In addition we also installed commercial grade plasma screens and a background audio system.

After a recent office refurbishment we were called to provide integrated systems for their boardroom and meeting rooms. The specification included commercial grade displays, audio systems and video conferencing. We supplied and installed all equipment.

Our first step was the design, we produced digital renderings of the room to show our concept. Once approved we produced scale drawings for the room layout including joinery drawings. All construction of the room was completed by us. The room was acoustically treated using a combination of live, acoustic and diffusion panels which were all made in our warehouse and covered in fabric. The joinery was made by our cabinet maker using our designs. We also had custom leather electric theatre chairs made!

We installed an automated Crestron lighting system which controlled the lighting and blinds in the room, including the LED strip lighting. We used the Jamo D600 THX speaker system driven by an Integra 70.3 receiver. The projector was a JVC X3, which is 3D capable.

The finished result was a beautifully elegant theatre which very effectively reproduces the sound and picture intended by the movies director.

When Armaguard refurbished their boardroom we were asked to come up with an integrated system which would suit all their needs. Included in the installation was a motorised projector lift and screen, audio system and control system.

A room was designed after consultation with the owners who had there own ideas for finishes. All the building work was completed in-house by Sound Constructions.

The result was an extremely comfortable and functional theatre which never fails to impress.

A Panasonic 58″ plasma was hidden by a picture frame which has a mechanism that motors down a canvas to cover the screen. The speakers are Stealth Acoustics. These speakers get plastered in the wall and after installation are completely invisible and sound amazing. You can see left, right and centre speakers above those are twin subwoofers.

We are at our best with these sorts of projects, a one off unique installation.
