With the curtains now up and the room vacuumed (by me ;) ) i took some empty room shots.

Demo Room - Part 5...

With the ceiling in, the lights done and the room clear it was time to get the curtains up.

Before the curtains we fixed the sound panels in place and painted in the shadow lines to the top and bottom.


An the installation of the curtains began!


The front wall and approximately 1 metre back up each side was done in a dark charcoal colour


And th erest of the wall were done in this dark brown colour



The contrast is nowhere near this stark but it gives you an idea where the charcoal starts and finishes.


And this is the room with all the curtains up and the lights on ... starting to look a little sexy now ;)

Demo Room - Part 4...

With the room all cabled and clean it was time to put the ceiling panels back in.

With no help from the bloke here on the left (yeah you Dean!!!) we put all the tiles back in a drilled the holes for the downlights to go in.



The next step was to have the carpet laid.

The guys from Glendale Carpets came through for us again with some of the good stuff at a more than reasonable price.

Tony is the owner down there and is more than helpful... :)

Our only complaint was that the guys who laid the carpet didn't do a very good job of cleaning up after themselves... The actual lay and join etc was great though as was the service leading up to the purchase :)






With the carpet complete we just had to put our sound panels in place and await the arrival of the curtains...



The excitment is building :)

Demo Room - Part 3...

The next step was to get the room tidied up and get the electricians in.

We had a couple of data and power points added to the room to ensure we had plenty of points in case we changed the room design around at any stage.

Power was added to the side and rear of the room and data to the front, back and side.



We also elected to have the data cabinet moved up into the ceiling. Originally we had decided to build a false wall in front of the cabinet but this turned out to be a much better option.


We also decided to install and dimmable infra red light switch for extra effect later on.


The next part was to paint all the cleaned parts on the ceiling black.


Paint in the 'non removable' parts to match


And stick back in one of the panels to see what it will look like when it is all done :)

Demo Room - Part 2...

The next step was to remove the floating ceiling panels and clean the rails in preparation for painting.

All the white rails in this pic will end up black




After removing the panels from the ceiling we laid them all out on the floor and painted them all black...

Kirily ... She's what?

It is another sad day here at Selby Acoustics...

After 2 years and thousands of happy customers Kirily is moving back home :(

Better known to most people as 'Kirky' (coz no one was able to spell or remember her real name!) Kirily is moving away from the finest city on Earth back to Newcastle.(I hadn't even heard of the place until Kirily said it a few times, must be a small town ;) )

Kirily has been an integral part of the growth of Selby Acoustics coming to us from JB Hifi with attitude oozing from every pore.

This is not a girl to lock horns with ... :)

She's a little over 6 foot with spiky hair and tattoos. Kirily's knowledge of all things hifi rivals that of just about anyone I have ever met and she was never afraid to correct me whenever I was wrong (me... wrong .... never!)

We will certainly miss Kirily and her crazy (and somewhat scary at times) antics...

(underwear in the street, putting out grass fires wearing a viking hat anyone...)


But the thing we will miss the most is her IPOD ... :)

Good luck in the future from all of us here and we will see you again real soon.........

Demo Room - Part 1...

We came up with a brilliant idea!

Lets make our 'kinda sound / storage room into a theatre room.

EASY ...

:)

This is what we started with:
Looking to front of theatre room


Looking to back of theatre room



We had all our 'stuff' stored in here in the wooden shelving as well as all the spare racking etc that had to find a new home



So the first step was to remove most of the 'stuff' and remove the fixed shelving making the room one big area.





After clearing the room out and getting some dimensions we started to decide on how the romm was to be laid out, the size of the screen and the items that we were going to sell from this room...

These are the 3d designs we started with
