24 pametnih načinov za skrivanje klimatske enote v zaprtih prostorih in zunaj

Priznajmo si, vaša klimatska naprava je bistveni sestavni del vašega luksuznega doma, vendar ni nekaj, kar bi želeli imeti v ospredju in na sredini. Večina nas bi AC enoto raje skrila. Lahko je naravnost neprijetno, če imate grdo klimatsko napravo, ki zapolnjuje vašo teraso ali uničuje vašo popolno oblikovano notranjost. Zato danes delimo 24 zabavnih načinov za skrivanje klimatskih naprav. To vključuje tako zunanji kondenzator kot stenske ali stropne omarice v zaprtih prostorih.

Nekatere od teh idej so odlične za domače mojstre. Če to niste vi, lahko vedno poiščete ustvarjalnega mojstra, ki vam bo pomagal ustvariti videz, ki ga želite skriti za svojo klimatsko enoto.

Preden preidemo na fotografije, vas želimo spomniti na dve pomembni pravili pri načrtovanju vašega projekta za skrivanje AC enote:

1. Nikoli ne blokirajte pretoka zraka okoli opreme. Samo ovirali boste njegovo delovanje (torej ne bo hladil tudi vašega prostora) in lahko se pregreje.
2. Prepričajte se, da vaša kreativna rešitev omogoča dostop do opreme, ko je čas za storitev HVAC ali popravila.

12 idej za skrivanje klimatske enote na prostem

Če imate to srečo, da imate zunanji prostor v New Yorku, obstaja velika verjetnost, da ne želite, da bi estetiko pokvarila kondenzacijska enota, ki bo uničila oči. Preizkusite te ideje, da skrijete klimatsko napravo:vaši gostje ne bodo nikoli vedeli, da je tam!

1. Struktura vrta

Ta okrasna lesena vrtna struktura je popolne velikosti za prikrivanje vaše zunanje kondenzacijske enote, hkrati pa poveča zanimanje za vaš zunanji prostor. Samo ne pozabite, da je oprema dostopna za servis.

2. DIY sejalnik palet

Tukaj je nenavadna ideja za navpični vrt, ki za seboj skriva tudi klimatsko napravo!

3. Mrežasta stena trte

Stena jutranje slave je čudovit način za skrivanje klimatskih naprav, hkrati pa ohranja pretok zraka. Samo rož ne postavljajte preblizu enote (kondenzator je del vaše klimatske naprave, ki sprošča toploto, zato naj bo vsaj nekaj metrov stran od rastlin).

4. Stena sadilnika iz cementnih blokov

Tukaj je še ena zelo kul ideja za sadilnico, ki je zelo poceni. Vse kar potrebujete so cementni bloki, nekaj lesenih polic in malo barve.

5. Pobarvan zaslon na vratih

To nas spominja na nekaj, kar lahko vidite v Dublinu ali na Karibih, kjer ljudje barvajo svoja vrata v privlačne barve. Kdo bi si mislil, da lahko reciklirate stara vrata, da skrijete svojo klimatsko napravo?

6. Ograja Ocotillo

Morda ne boste mogli gojiti teh puščavskih rastlin ocotillo na območju New Yorka, a zagotovo obstaja nadomestek, ki bi izgledal prav tako kul, medtem ko bi zunaj skrival klimatsko napravo.

7. Dekorativni poslikani zaslon za palete

Tukaj je še ena poceni ideja, ki zahteva le staro transportno paleto in nekaj barve. Če niste tako nadarjeni za dekorativno slikanje, lahko izberete svetlo barvo, ki se ujema z vašim dekorjem. Or, get your kids to paint their handprints on it or use stencils to add a design.

8. Plantings:caladium and elephant ears

These gorgeous, exotic looking plants get tall enough to hide your AC unit. Like the morning glories, keep them far enough away from the heat given off by your condensing unit.

9. DIY seat with built-in AC cover

Unless you’re really good with woodwork, this one is going to require the skills of a carpenter. But totally worth it! Outdoor seating that also hides your AC unit. Genius.

10. Paver wall

If plants and woodwork are not your thing, try this stone wall made from patio pavers.

11. Lattice screen and planter box

This one is great because it also protects your outdoor unit from getting covered by leaves and debris. Just make sure there’s enough clearance to let heat escape and of course make it accessible for maintenance.

12. Bamboo wall

This cool and serene bamboo wall and plantings provides privacy and as well as hiding the outside air conditioner.

12 Ways to hide air conditioning units inside your home

What if you live in a city apartment without outside space? You may have indoor AC equipment that’s kind of an eyesore on your walls and ceilings. Here are some fun ideas to hide the AC unit indoors.

1. Wall-mounted die-cut cabinet

This is a perfect way to hide an AC unit that’s wall mounted, such as a ductless AC unit or a through-the-wall unit. Since the doors open, it easy to open for adjusting the fan or for doing maintenance.

2. Wrought iron grate

You can buy grille covers to match any décor or architectural style, so your AC and heat registers actually look attractive.

3. Shutter box

Here’s another great idea for hiding an AC unit up on a wall. Find some shabby chic shutters with slats that open to provide air flow for the equipment.

4. Die-cut wood &lace wall panel

This die cut panel is backed antique lace. It looks more like a piece of art than a cover for an AC or heat register!

5. Slatted wood panel

Here’s a more modern look:it’s a sliding panel that provides camouflage for wall shelving, a TV and the ability to hide an AC unit.

6. Wall mounted shelf

Here’s another wall-mounted shelf, but this one was custom built to match the bedroom furniture. A slatted wood door hides the AC unit.

7. Metal grille mantel

This metal grille was probably a cover for a heating register originally, but it’s been repurposed as a beautiful mantel that happens to also hide an AC unit!

8. Shutter register cover

Here’s another way to use shutters to camouflage your HVAC unit or wall registers. In this case, they are attached directly to the wall.

9. Custom wall art

This air conditioner cover doesn’t just look like art, it really is a piece of custom artwork created to hide an AC unit.

10. Decorative metal panel

We really like this decorative wall panel covering the AC unit because there’s plenty of room for air flow which is good for the equipment as well as your comfort.

11. Thermostat camouflage

We couldn’t resist including this idea, even though it doesn’t really hide an AC unit… it’s just creating some really clever distraction so you don’t even notice the thermostat mounted on that wall!

12. There is a beautiful AC unit!

Here’s an option from LG that comes ready-made (no DIY required!). All you have to do is install and choose your favorite artwork for inside the frame.
