Where Can A Bulkhead Air Conditioner Be Installed?
Bulkhead air conditioners are an ideal choice for spaces where ceilings are too low or too high to allow for a cavity, such as apartments and homes. They are slim and can be unobtrusively installed in dropped ceiling areas above kitchen cabinets or built-in robes. These efficient and quiet heating and cooling system is perfect for single rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms. Their bulkhead cavities also dampen operating noise.
Aesthetically speaking, bulkhead installations are a great way to upgrade a room’s decor. Whether it’s used in a new or renovated space, the grilles lend a stylish, modern look to the area. Here are some examples of different bulkhead installation positions;
Where Bulkhead Installations Work Best
Split System vs Bulkhead Air Conditioning Installation
Bulkhead air conditioning installations are best for new homes and renovated spaces because the space is free and open to work on. The additional work building out the cavity is easier and cheaper because you don’t have to worry about existing structures getting in the way.
On the other hand, setting up a bulkhead air conditioner in a finished space is more complicated. As it requires extra installation work like plastering and painting, wall-mounted split system installation might be a better solution.
If you want a concealed unit with an attractive finish, however, a bulkhead installation can still be achieved in completed spaces.
