Quest End Opens Demo
Space Targeting BuiltEnvironment Professionals
Home automation solutions supplier, Quest End has
opened a new demonstration space aimed at spreading
the word on automation and providing professionals a
place to learn more and simplify the process of including
technology in their projects.
Key trades the company wants to visit the facility include
architects, developers, land agents, mechanical engineering
consultants and interior designers needing the kind of one
call service for automation the company is offering.
Quest End managing director, Liam Parker, says:
“Easier installation and declining costs means that the
home automation market is far more accessible than
ever before and, with UK consumers now beginning to
understand the benefits it brings, the market is set for
sharp upward growth.
“Yet for property developers, architects and interior
designers and other professionals who are looking to
incorporate home automation into their projects, the
main challenge is understanding what is possible and
making it work. Our roots here at Quest End are firmly
set in both the technology sector, having previously
sold a very successful IT company, and also property
development; we are therefore very well placed to
provide the necessary technical expertise to support
those professionals in bringing this into their offering.”
Quest End is headquartered in Maidenhead, Berkshire,
where its new Experience Centre offers visitors the
chance to see and try many of the solutions available.
Partnering with companies including Crestron, Savant,
Loxone, Artcoustic, Sonos, Jaymar, Robomow and Ad
Notam, Quest End is a member of CEDIA.
The company says it will provide a bespoke broad
range of property automation solutions including
security, home cinema, multi-room audio and video,
automated shading, control systems, lighting control,
smart heating and energy monitoring.
Liam concludes: “We invite architects, property
developers, land and property agents, mechanical
engineering consultants and interior designers to come and
meet the team at our Experience Centre in Maidenhead to
see examples of automation and control systems in action.
“We have a fantastic Cinema at Home suite which
includes 4D motion chairs and can also showcase a
wide range of lighting, audio and video and security
solutions. We are looking to partner with firms across
the region that wish to offer automation services to their
clients as an added value service and so look forward to
demonstrating our expertise.”

recently refurbished
demo suite in Art
Deco style

London, with the grand opening taking place on October 6 2016.

City Home Cinemas is capable of. It is also a good example of the sort of cutting-edge technology the company
uses in its installations.

designed by Peter himself – by hand.
City Home Cinemas installed an Insight 4K laser projector which powers the visuals in the
showroom, as well as Wisdom Audio speakers (2x L75i; 1 x C38i (centre); 4 x P20i (surround);
8 x P4i (height speakers); 2 x S90i subs (in-wall); 2 x SCS subs). There is also an Oppo BDP105D Blu-ray player, Red-ray 4K player, Kaleidescape M700 Disc Vault 1U server, Rako lighting
control system, Control4 SR-250 remote, HC800 controller and Datasat RS20i audio processor
(with Auro-3D). Power is delivered via a RA7300 power amplifier, RA4200 power amplifier,
ADS MPA-7500 power amplifier, PTM-81550 power amplifier, PF2502 power amplifier and
lighting is from Aurora LED lighting, seating from CinemaTech/Furniture Village and the screen
