   We were recommended Carbon Integration for our home cinema project & control 4.

On-site, Jeevan has been a pleasure to deal with and his entire team works diligently to get the job done. Everything is left incredibly clean and presentable after work has been carried out.

We had some initial back and forth around designs but I’m glad we listened to the team’s recommendations in the end. I’d highly recommend these guys!

   We had an existing Lutron lighting system that needed upgrading that was 10+ years old. Jeevan at Carbon came over after finding them on google to assess our current system. We were offered a couple of different options, a partial upgrade or a complete upgrade, and both options were excellently explained in terms even I could understand. We decided to go with the complete upgrade, great work guys. Smart lighting at it's best!

   Working with Carbon Integration has been a pleasure. They are all so accommodating and professional, offering brilliant advice and smart home maintenance. We have had work carried out by them since 2015 and carried on having small bits of work here and there, and they've always been at the end of a phone to help.

   Our main contractor initially brought Carbon to advise on our project in Gerrards Cross. They installed a Control4 system to control the whole home. It is so nice not to have a million and one remotes to control different items and one system that can control them all. I highly recommend the guys over at Carbon; working with them has felt like a real collaboration from start to finish. Thanks, Indi!

   I wasn't sure about all the work my husband wanted to have done on a media room, but I have to admit it was well worth it! Watching movies at home now is better than going to the cinema! Brilliant work, guys. Thanks so much.

   Met Indy and Jeevan around 6 years ago by accident. Turned out to be fabulous! They totally changed our initial lighting plans for the better. Installed a Gira KNX system with some fancy light switches and app. The guys are fantastic and are always on hand with any issues or upgrades. I highly recommend them.

   Excellent Service from Smart Property Automation which is run by two brothers. They are extremely knowledgeable professional and reliable and always courteous and respond quickly. I would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend them and we've been using them for over 5 years now and they have an excellent track record with us.  Anthony & Yai Wrigley

What A Media Room Can Include

A media room refers to a designated area within a home that is designed to accommodate various electronic entertainment components. Its purpose is to create an integrated and organised space for audio-visual equipment, including but not limited to:

Television or Display:
This is often the centerpiece of a residential media room. It can be a flat-screen TV, a projector screen, or even a combination of both.

Electric Fire:
Not always essential, but a lot of people choose to include an electric fire below their TV. Gorgeous inset electric fireplaces can really bring the wow factor.

Audio Equipment:
This can include speakers (surround sound or soundbar), amplifiers, and receivers. These are crucial for creating an immersive audio experience.

Storage and Shelving:
Residential media rooms often include shelves or cabinets to store media equipment, DVDs, Blu-rays, video game consoles, or other related items. These can be open shelves, closed cabinets, or a combination of both.

Cabling and Wiring Management:
A properly designed media room should include provisions for managing cables and wires. This may include cable management systems, hidden conduits, or integrated channels to keep the area organised and aesthetically pleasing.

Gaming Consoles:
If gaming is a priority, space may be allocated for gaming consoles and related accessories.

Streaming Devices:
Devices like streaming media players, smart TV boxes, or Blu-ray players may also be integrated into the media room.

Smart Home Integration:
In modern setups, there may be provisions for integrating smart home technology, allowing control of lights, thermostat, or other connected devices from a central hub.

Customisation and Personalisation:
The design of a residential media room often allows for personalisation, such as custom cabinetry, choice of materials, and even space for art or decorative elements.

Seating Arrangement:
Depending on the design and space available, seating elements may be incorporated into the media room area. This could include custom-designed seating, couches, or even integrated benches.

Ambiance Lighting:
Consideration for ambient lighting can enhance the viewing experience. This could include LED strips, recessed lighting, or other specialized lighting fixtures.

Control Systems:
Some advanced setups may incorporate smart home control systems that allow for centralized control of various electronic components.

Steps Of A Media Room Installation

We appreciate the installation of a media room might be overwhelming to start with, so we have broken down the installation into several steps, including:

Planning: Assessing your needs and requirements and determining the scope of the media room installation. This may involve identifying the desired functionalities, such as smart lighting, audio, entertainment systems, or voice assistants.
Device selection: Choosing the appropriate smart devices and systems based on your requirements. This can include smart bulbs, smart speakers, and other compatible devices.
Home mock-ups: Creating a 3D rendering of your space, so you can see exactly how everything is going to work.
Network setup: Ensuring a robust and reliable internet connection throughout your home to support the smart devices’ communication and functionality. This may involve setting up a reliable Wi-Fi network or using wired connections.
Installation: Physically installing and connecting the media room as well as any design improvements. This may involve modifying your room with building work, installing smart switches, or integrating smart plugs as part of your smart home installation.
Configuration and integration: Setting up the smart devices to work together and connect to a central hub or smart home platform. This involves connecting devices to your smartphone or tablet and configuring automation routines, schedules, and rules.
Testing and troubleshooting: Verifying the functionality of each smart device and ensuring they are working as intended. Troubleshooting any connectivity issues, addressing compatibility problems, or adjusting settings as needed.
Client education: Providing you with instructions and guidance on how to operate and control your media room. This includes teaching you how to use mobile apps, voice commands, or automation features to manage the connected devices.
Aftercare: Your smart home installation will be extremely reliable. However, like all technology, the systems need regular software updates, monitoring and maintenance to keep them functioning at their best. Our aftercare plan will help with this if you need it.

It’s worth noting that the complexity and extent of the media room installation process may vary depending on the specific devices and systems chosen, the size of the home, and your preferences.

Additional Costs: In addition to the installation itself, you’ll need to budget for any additional components or features you want to include in your media room, such as the TV or projector, sound system, media players, decorative elements, and accessories. These costs can vary widely depending on the brands, specifications, and quality of the products you choose.
Site Preparation: Depending on the condition of the room and the existing wiring infrastructure in your home, there may be additional costs associated with site preparation, such as repairing walls, running new wiring, or upgrading electrical outlets.

Overall, the cost of a media room installation in the UK can range from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds, depending on your preferences, budget, and the level of customisation you desire.
