Architects & Designers

Home technology evolves ever more rapidly Practical expertise has never been more critical and Face To Face Digital’s innovative responses derive from our own research, testing and application. From heating and lighting control to communications, entertainment and security, we plan, install and maintain systems to look the future full in the face. Our key aims? To enhance quality of life, maximise energy efficiency - and give the client total control. Architects' Charter

 

Support and monitoring From our inception, Face to Face Digital set out to be different to other home technology companies, where audio-visual installation is usually the main offering. Not only do we cover many more systems, we also see the installation as just the beginning of our relationship. Long after the project team disbands, you can trust us to be there offering clients ongoing support, bolt-ons and maintenance services. This makes us unique in our field. Fact Sheet >

 

Getting technology out of your way Today’s homes are too easily cluttered with technological elements: Thermostats, security panels, light switches, AV controllers, speakers - all threatening to disrupt the aesthetic. We can take an overview of all these interfaces, rationalise them and make them virtually invisible - to preserve the integrity of your designs. Leaving you free to focus on the solution, not the technology. Fact Sheet >

 

Part L, and beyond... Around 80% of domestic energy use derives from heating and lighting. Modern control systems can reduce useage by 50%. Current Part L requirements only scratch the surface of energy efficiency - but it is clear that zoning and digital controls are the way forward. Beyond the mandatory benchmarks, well-planned, easily-operated control systems offer your clients real energy savings and the way to meet increasingly high levels of social responsibility. Using Heatmiser to Control4 integration or a full Trend BMS we have tackled projects of all sizes. Fact Sheet >

 

The gateway to the home At home, we want to be able to regulate our gateways to the outside world. Both our physical environment and our virtual interactions need to be seen as defensible spaces which we control on our own terms. From door entry systems, to phone, broadband and Wi-Fi applications, our tailor-made and fully integrated systems give clients the best possible experience of living comfortably with technology.

Entertainment systems and the Smart Home From single TVs to complete home cinemas, we offer a brand-independent service, prioritising optimum performance. We can also give our professional polish to ‘consumer’ systems such as Sonos and Sky, setting them up reliably for best use. Abolishing the difference between computers, TVs and audio products, the next generation of entertainment will be delivered to homes via the internet - and we excel in IT because we have long believed it to be the core of the future.

Cabling for the future: why Wi-Fi won’t cut it Once upon a time, Wi-Fi seemed to offer limitless opportunity. Now, though, radio frequency spectrums in our homes are so congested that the future of high performance home technology makes data cabling a necessity. Soon, for example, even a dishwasher will need to ‘dial out’ to the internet to check when to run most efficiently. Face to Face Digital makes these connections possible by providing CAD plans & wiring schematics for all of our cable runs, project managing the installation and taking full responsibility for terminating & testing the cables so they perform for years afterwards.

Testimonials

"It has been refreshing to work with an AV/IT specialist that provides objective and practical advice at the early stages of design. Will provided us with options that met the client brief rather than trying to sell the latest gadgets. The installation was professionally executed by his onsite team and overall I was very impressed."
- John McRae, ORMS
"Having worked with Face to Face Digital on projects as diverse as A/V to Heating Control they never lose sight of both the client’s brief and our own objectives. The after sales service is both prompt and effective. Try them!"
- Joanna Wood
"We have recently collaborated on a few projects with Face to Face Digital and each one has been successful, working into the early hours of the morning with your patient team, so the lighting levels could be set to perfection."
- Sally Storey, Lighting Design International

About Us

Face to Face was founded in 2006 and the Directors have over 30 years of experience working in the industry. We use only in-house technicians and have spent years perfecting our CAD and schematics to be absolutely clear for clients, architects and electricians to work from. We operate almost exclusively through word-of-mouth and have been growing steadily since inception.

Over the last five years we have worked on projects from £1,000 to over £2.0m and across the UK from the Lake District to Devon. We have particular expertise in the retro-fitting of systems to Grade I & II Listed properties and the renovation of conservation area homes in London and the country.
