Fairview HiFi Provides “Starry Campground” Setting

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

The audio/video home theater pros at Fairview HiFi – an iSky Panel dealer in Burlington, Ontario, Canada – began a this comfortable and family friendly home theater installation with just a bare room that contained an existing fireplace and a question from their clients about “starry ceilings”.

Fairview HiFi was more than up to the challenge.  They recommended a 12” x 16” ceiling (using our 4×4 panels) following the contours of the room.  The panels were perfect for the size of this installation and were easily customized to fit the irregular angles needed in the front section of the room.  Fairview HiFi took the project a step further, by recessing the panels and tucking away rope LEDs giving the overall work a sky-like effect.  To make the iSky ceiling even more dynamic for their clients, Fairview HiFi installed remote light switches they programmed for several moods from low level for movie watching to higher visibility for cleaning up popcorn.  The home owner’s favorite mood was just the simple glimmering star lighting.

“You can hear the sound of crickets as soon the mood is turned on. The kids camped out under the stars for days (and nights) right after the install.  We mused about it being a great sounding campground. Help from the iSky guys made the install incredibly easy (psst, don’t tell anyone!),” remarked Larry Crosty of Fairview HiFi. “In the end, the theater owners were absolutely delighted by the look.”

Gramophone Gets Creative with Sci-Fi Themed Home Theater

Friday, March 19th, 2010
When Gramophone’s client’s visions of having a cool place to watch football evolved to a Star Trek themed home theater, the dealer was able to deliver by incorporating iSky Panels. Gramophone used 48″ and 24″ panels and blue LED lighting in the cove, which created the ultimate effect any sci-fi fan can appreciate.

After addressing a few practical requirements, the client and Gramophone had fun with being creative. The client was very pleased with the outcome of the project as it became a dream home theater come true. According to our dealer’s sales manager, by dimming the lights it feels like “you’re actually watching a movie up in outer space.”

Gramophone, who won Electronic House’s Home of the Year award, is one of our favorite iSky Panels star ceiling dealers.  Please visit Gramophone’s site to learn more about their excellent services and brands.

Admit One Creates Award Winning Home Theater

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

One of our favorite iSky dealers and a nationally recognized premier home theater firm, Admit One took on the task of  transforming an old boring game room into this elegant yet knockout space.

Admit One wanted to provide their clients the “wow” factor of a glimmering star ceiling, but did not want to do it the traditional way by drilling into or replacing the ceiling.  In addition, the homeowners were excited about the ascetic and acoustic value of a star ceiling, but not thrilled with the estimated cost and time add-on for the project.  Admit One, provided the ideal solution…iSky Panels.

Our panels provided the desired acoustical treatment and helped add depth to an already rich looking coffered ceiling – while keeping project within budget.

This work garnered Admit One industry recognition by TechHome Builder and the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) – and highly enthusiastic feedback from their client.

Please visit Admit One’s site to learn more about their great team, service offering, and numerous industry awards.

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Designers and installers now have an environmentally friendly option for specifying a star ceiling.  EcoTech iSky Panels are ideal for home theaters, dentist offices, senior centers, children’s areas in libraries, hospitals, and other environments.

EcoTech iSky Panels star ceilings are made from recycled polyester which provides sound absorption quality comparable to fiberglass panels.  In addition, they’re also dust free, non-allergenic, contain no formaldehyde, and are non-toxic, thus zeroing out the risk of contributing to respiratory issues.

Installation professionals, designers, as well as homeowners will recognize the difference in the iSky Panels system immediately, our patent-pending Star Engine powers the lighting effects that mimic the random glimmer of the night sky unlike any system on the market. So not only do they look more realistic, but the LED’s 50,000-hour lamp life mean the system is extremely energy efficient, and virtually maintenance free.

Mirroring our other iSky products, the EcoTech iSky Panels are simple to install. This is due to our proprietary plug-and-play Panel Systems that makes estimation easy and doesn’t require banging nails or forcing fiber through drywall.
