Overview
	This project involved Finite Solutions being commissioned to retrofit a dedicated cinema room into a clients new residence in Wakefield.

The Brief
	The client wanted a good quality dedicated cinema room which would be contemporary in style to match the design of the rest of the home.

Budget :
	Please call us to discuss this type of project.

Seating

The client was very keen to include authentic cinema seating into the cinema room, but was very exacting in their requirement for dark brown leather, electric reclinable, and a double centre seat.

We worked with the interior design to colour match the other natural materials within the room to create the exact look the client demanded.

The natural choice for this installation was the Lay-z-boy matinee series cinema seating. Each chair is fully reclinable using a small electronic button on each armrest. Cup holders and drinks trays then go to create the authentic cinema experience.

Cabinetry

Cabinetry is always a challenging aspect of every installation. In this instance the client wanted all the equipment to be kept out of sight, but to be easily accessible when required.

The final choice of cabinet was actually a standard piece of living room furniture customised by us to allow all the equipment to be contained within it. We added a bespoke fan system to keep everything well ventilated.

The top panel drops down to keep everything out of sight, and the Harmony 895 all-in-one remote control uses an RF control system, where the remote does not need infra red line of sight to function.

Loudspeakers

Keeping in line with the contemporary design requirements. the speakers and subwoofer that we specified were Anthony Gallo Nucleus Ti satellite speakers with the MPS subwoofer.

The matching of the speakers to the subwoofer produces some really good audio results for the budget, and also the spherical subtle nature of the satellite speakers produces a really powerful sound for their size.

The client was actually so impressed with the speakers, both sonically and aesthetically that we were commissioned to install another set in the properties snooker room.

Projector

The client demanded that the image be as large as possible, so we sourced a custom made Beamax projector screen that would allow the maximum possible drop, given the height available above the door.

This large 8ft screen was then fully automated so whenever the client chose to watch a movie or Sky on the Nevo remote, the screen would automatically drop and the projector turn on.

A high gain screen material was also used to reflect the maximum light possible back from the daylight projector and ensure that the picture was still crisp even on a summers day.

Amplifier, DVD player and Screen

A 7ft Beamax fixed screen provides a large, good quality canvas for the picture and really created the 'wow' factor for the client. This combined with the Denon DVD-3910 and the Denon AVR-4306 with HDMI-output, video conversion with 1080i upscaling produced some stunning visual results.

The Denon AVR-4306 also is extremely well future proofed with 1080p HDMI-output to support high definition DVD when it is released.

Overall the client was enormously happy with the end result, and we have already had many recommendations to other clients as a testament to just how pleased they were.

Some popular questions on Smart Home Automation

What is Smart Home Automation?
Smart Home Automation refers to the technology integrated in to the design of a home which makes life easier, more fun and more energy efficient. Home Automation is achieved by integrating various technologies to work with each other with a single control interface. Home Automation isn't being able to text your coffee machine to turn it on before you come home or having robots serve you cocktails. Although of course all this is possible should you really want it.

What can you attain with Home Automation?
There are an almost infinite number of smart home automation options that can transform your home:
> Lighting control home automation - set the mood with contemporary lighting design
> Multi room audio video home automation - enjoys sound and vision throughout the home with home automation
> CCTV home automation - feels secure in the home, and monitors it remotely when you're abroad
> Climate control home automation - use home automation to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter
> Computer network home automation - the backbone of home automation, assuring everything works together
> Blinds and curtains home automation - enjoy natural light from sunrise, and peace of mind at sunset
Control all of these from a single Crestron Home Automation Touch screen or wireless controller interface

What are the benefits of Smart home automation?
Smart home automation is about a lifestyle that you aspire to, ensuring that your home works for you instead of you working to maintain your home. In a well designed and installed Smart Home all the technology works together to ensure that your home maximises the energy it uses, stays secure and is perfectly presented. There are few boundaries to smart home automation - the only limit is your imagination.

Save Time- use home automation to execute tasks like turning all the lights off in the house with a single button press, or draw all the curtains

Save money - use Home Automation to turn off all the equipment in the home and reduce your electricity bill.

Save the environment - Home Automation can cut your electricity bills and helps the environment

The limits of home automation are endless, but the important thing to bear in mind is that almost any home automation feature can be integrated, it depends on your budget.

What technologies do we use for Smart Home Automation?
Crestron Home Automation is in our opinion the best home Automation product in the market place. Crestron is a long established brand and is the most versatile and reliable home automation technology available. Crestron can integrate with any additional product, provided it has either a serial (RS232) port or Infrared (I.R.) control. We can also integrate with AMX and Net streams systems.

How can Smart Home Automation be integrated into my home?
Any or all of the features above can be installed in your home and integrated so that you get a single easy touch screen panel in each room. This allows you to alter any aspect of the environment and entertainment throughout the entire property though a single or multiple home automation control devices.
