Choosing a smart home, security or cinema system from a brochure is hard.

Specifications and product photos only tell you so much. You can’t feel how a scene change softens the lighting, hear how music follows you from room to room, or judge whether a cinema setup will really deliver at home.

That’s why we built our Demo Suite. It’s a Control4 Certified Showroom where the technology we install is set up and running for real, so you can experience it before you decide anything.

A Control4 Certified Showroom

Control4 is one of the leading platforms for home automation. It brings lighting, blinds, audio, video, security and climate together in one system you control from a single app, touchscreen, keypad or remote.

Our showroom holds Control4 Certified status, so what you see is a working installation built to the standards we use in our clients’ homes. It isn’t a mock-up or a product shelf. You can pick up the controls and use the system as you would every day.

The Demo Cinema

A home cinema is one of the most rewarding things you can add to a home, and also one of the hardest to imagine from a spec sheet. Our dedicated demo cinema shows you what the finished room is like: the picture, the surround sound and the atmosphere.

Sit back, watch a film clip, and see how one button can dim the lights, close the blinds and start the film. It’s the easiest way to understand what a cinema room could add to your home, and to talk through the options with us in the room itself.

Control4 Lighting and Blinds in Action

Smart lighting is often best understood by trying it. In the Demo Suite, Control4 lighting and motorised blinds are working together so you can see how they set the mood for different times of day.

Try a “Morning” scene that opens the blinds and brings up soft light, or an “Evening” scene that lowers everything with one touch. You’ll also see how lighting and blinds can help with security, making a home look occupied while you’re away.

Multi-Room Audio You Can Hear for Yourself

You can’t judge audio by reading about it. Our multi-room audio system lets you hear the quality for yourself and see how simple it is to use.

Play the same music throughout the space, or different music in different zones, and adjust everything from your phone or a wall keypad. Hearing the speakers in a real setting will help you choose the right setup for your rooms and the way you live.

Everything We Install, Running for Real

The Demo Suite exists for one reason: we want you to be confident before you invest. Everything you see there is what we install, so there are no surprises once it’s in your home.

As a reputable security, access control, fire and smart home specialist, we know that good systems should be reliable as well as impressive. Seeing them in use gives you the chance to ask questions, compare options and get honest advice from the team who will design and install your system.

Easy to Visit, With Private Parking

There’s private parking right outside the door, so a visit is straightforward. Come along, take your time, and try the technology at your own pace.
