As with most new developments the power and service cable outlets were positioned quite high up the wall, around the bottom of where the Playbar is now mounted. First these were moved down, HDMI cables etc...concealed in cavity, TV and speaker brackets installed, holes patched up and plastered. AV equipment left operational, this completed the first phase.
Based on discussions with the client we produced a CAD drawing with our proposal, the main requirement dimensionally was to keep the unit slim (close to wall) something that had proven to be the stumbling block when trying to source something themselves. Once manufactured and lacquered phase two could proceed. The unit was delivered to site, wall mounted using our heavy duty rail system and outlets attached to rear. We also incorporated full IR control for the outdated BT vision box, most devices now use Bluetooth or RF technology for remote control which works through closed door.
Hide ugly boxes and cables from sight and dust, child friendly, ability to hoover under unit, the space gained visually by seeing the floor beneath, light up underneath with a multicolor app controlled LED lightstrip like Philips "Hue" stuck to bottom. Create a real focal point in your room, like the fireplace used to be.
Made locally with a max two week turnaround after CAD design signed off, last min change of handleless trim from black to brushed silver benefited from this.
