The Luxury of a Quiet Home

Silence is golden. Unless you are watching an action film. Then it's a little spooky because soon, there will be a BOOM to make you jump out of your seat. That may be fun for two hours during the show but it's not how I want to spend my dinner time after a long day's work. It's exactly what I get when I come home to a hot stuffy house, open the doors and windows to air it out and BOOM! the door slams as the gentle, cooling breeze wafts, softly through.

Or, at least, that's how it used to be. Now, with SoftSlam installed in my offending door, I don't have to worry. I don't have to stress. I can focus on dinner, a book, a relaxing bath and not have to stay on edge waiting for the unavoidable slam and wonder if anyone got their tail caught.

When was the last time you saw an advertisement for a relaxing massage, facial, pedicure, and manicure package with the crashing bang of slamming doors in the background? Half of the luxury of that package is the sound of silence. You can have that luxury in your own home for a fraction of the cost of the spa treatment. What's better, when you get home, the effects of the treatment won't be ended abruptly by the sound of a slamming door.

It's been 20 years since the last trend in luxury homes swept the world - the soft close cabinetry. Now, we can make the full size doors just as luxurious.

Listening to the birdsong,
