At the heart of Bernard Dickinson is a core belief in providing only the best solutions to clients’ entertainment and integration requests. For the past 60 years we have consistently delivered the very best in entertainment technology as an innovative, industry-leading company dedicated to bringing our customers new levels of engagement in spaces.
We are more excited than ever by the endless possibilities for technology to help in creating beautiful, design-conscious spaces. We harness the best technology to enhance environments in a way that not only brings you the joy of perfect audio and visual quality but also satisfies your desire for great interior design and optimum lighting and shade as well.
We use lighting and shade technology to provide the perfect ambience day or night. Utilising daylight reduces our need for electric light and saves energy. Shading systems provide precision control of daylight, diffusing light and preventing glare, protecting furniture, fine art, rugs and even wood surfaces from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter by using shading systems to deflect or harness solar heat.
Managing daylight is not restricted to a single wall station. Shading systems can be controlled using your choice of keypads, remote controls, smart phones, tablets and voice commands, not to mention setting an astronomic time clock for automatic adjustment of shades.
Utilise a whole-home shading system for simultaneous control of all shades. By setting a predetermined scene for ‘away’, simply select this option when leaving to close all shades and restrict the view inside your home. A ‘mockupancy’ system can have lights turning on and off, blinds raising and lowering and music playing at intervals to create the illusion of occupancy.
We pre-programme your system so you can set the scene for whatever you are doing with ease. Transform your room to the perfect lighting for a party by pressing a single button engraved ‘entertaining’ or dim the lights and close out the world for a warm and cosy night in. Save energy and time by ensuring every light is put out with one touch.
Sound is a huge part of entertainment and we can provide a whole range of sound solutions from statement speakers that perform on a visual level as design pieces or integrated with art coverings of your choice, to invisible speakers embedded in your walls or ceilings. Sound dampening technology can be used to perfect the acoustics and ambience of any room.
The options for visual entertainment are also hugely inspiring. We are here to provide solutions so that you can enjoy your favourite music and films at their very finest, beautifully integrated within your home with easy, intuitive and reliable controls selected according to your preferences.
We are proud members of CEDIA, the leading professional body in excellence in trusted technology partners, so you can be confident that your project is in safe hands. We work closely with a team of the best contractors to ensure seamless installation and the perfect finish.
We operate freely, unrestricted by the constraints of any one manufacturer and are therefore able to work with whatever technologies and suppliers to best meet your requirements, desires and budget.
Come in to our Fulwood showroom with your extension plans, room ideas or audio visual requirements and we will help you achieve the exact look, sound and atmosphere you desire, from planning and installation to an unrivalled after-care.
