Showcasing Smart Home Innovation at the Cleveland IX Center
Xtend Technologies at the Great Big Home & Garden Show
For many years, Xtend Technologies has proudly exhibited at the Great Big Home & Garden Show at the IX Center in Cleveland, Ohio — one of the largest home improvement events in the Midwest.
This annual event provides homeowners, builders, designers, and technology enthusiasts the opportunity to explore the latest innovations in home design, outdoor living, and smart home technology. Each year, Xtend Technologies designs and builds immersive technology experiences that allow visitors to see, hear, and interact with cutting-edge solutions that transform the modern home.
Our exhibits have become a destination at the show, giving thousands of attendees the opportunity to experience luxury home technology firsthand.

Visitors can explore how a professionally designed system brings comfort, entertainment, and convenience together in one cohesive solution.
The Ultimate Smart Home Experience
One of the most popular attractions at our booth has been the Ultimate Smart Home demonstration.
These interactive environments allow guests to experience the power of intelligent automation where lighting, audio, video, climate, and security systems work together seamlessly.
With a single touch, visitors can see how smart technology can:
• Adjust lighting scenes throughout the home
• Control music in multiple rooms

These demonstrations help homeowners visualize how technology can simplify daily living while enhancing comfort and convenience.
The Backyard Oasis
Outdoor living has become one of the most exciting trends in modern home design, and Xtend Technologies has frequently showcased the Backyard Oasis concept at the show.
These outdoor exhibits demonstrate how technology can transform a backyard into a fully functional entertainment destination.
Features commonly included in these environments include:
• Outdoor televisions designed for daylight viewing
• Landscape audio systems that provide immersive sound
• Outdoor lighting that enhances safety and ambiance
• Motorized patio screens and shades
• Pool and patio entertainment systems
• Weather-resistant networking solutions
Visitors can experience how the same quality entertainment available indoors can extend seamlessly to outdoor spaces.
Custom Home Theater Showcases
Xtend Technologies is widely known for designing high-performance home theaters, and our exhibits at the Great Big Home & Garden Show have often featured custom theater demonstrations.
These spaces allow visitors to experience the impact of a professionally designed cinema room featuring:
• Large projection screens
• Dolby Atmos surround sound
• Acoustic treatments for optimal sound quality
• Luxury theater seating
• Advanced lighting control
• Integrated movie systems
Many attendees experience a true cinematic environment for the first time inside these demonstrations.
The Theater Barn Experience
One of our most memorable installations was the Theater Barn, developed in partnership with Weaver Barns.
This unique showcase transformed a beautifully constructed barn into a fully functioning luxury home theater space. The concept demonstrated how entertainment technology can be integrated into unique architectural environments — from custom homes to guest houses and recreational spaces.
The Theater Barn became one of the most talked-about exhibits at the show and highlighted the versatility of modern home entertainment systems.
