Visitors to Gladedale Homes' latest showhome at St Mary's Ridge in St Leonard's on Sea can experience the latest in integrated home entertainment because the house has been fitted with LexCom Home.

And many are so impressed with the technology that they are installing the systems in their new homes at the development off Harrow Lane.

Maggie Brodie of Gladedale Homes, said: "At Gladedale Homes we are committed to meeting the expectations of potential homeowners not only through the design and quality of our homes but also in highlighting new innovations that can be included in their property." The moment visitors walk into the lounge in the showhome they notice the 42" plasma screen television mounted on the wall and then become aware of the high-quality sound coming from the multiple speakers mounted in the ceiling.

But the experience doesn't end there.

A networked television upstairs allows the children to watch the same DVD playing downstairs while the master bedroom resonates as music played on the CD player in the lounge is relayed through more high-end ceiling-mounted speakers.

In the kitchen, a LCD television networked using LexCom Home views and controls the selection menu from a music soundserver located in the lounge.

Derek Hulbert of AST HomeNet, Square D's Approved Installer said: "Increasingly homeowners want greater flexibility in using home entertainment systems throughout the house".

"LexCom Home is a cost-effective solution because it is based on using a single cable terminating in a standard socket.

A room can be wired with a number of outlets linked to a central distribution centre allowing any service, such as TV, satellite, freeview, data or phone, to be used in any room." Maggie Brodie added, "There has been a very positive response to the system with many customers wishing to include their system in their new home".

"The system is an option in the new homes but homeowners have to commit at an early stage in the build programme as the technology is fitted into the shell of the property before the walls are plastered." St Mary's Ridge features a collection of desirable properties including two and three bedroomed homes in a highly sought after location in St Leonard's on Sea, near the historic town of Hastings.

The first phase is planned for completion early next year and the second phase will follow shortly afterwards.

Gladedale Homes is committed to fitting LexCom Home at a number of its other developments in Sussex, Essex and Kent.
