Fibreglass Air Deflector Installation In Clerkenwell, London

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Jonathan

Solved a big problem at a recruitment office in Clerkenwell today.

There is nothing worse than sitting in your place of work feeling cold and sitting in a draught. In fact, there is legislation about the comfort of employees and it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure the health and wellbeing of their staff. When a recruitment company in Clerkenwell contacted us, about their draughty air conditioning problem, we were able to provide them with a solution. The installation of a fibreglass ceiling mounted deflector, solved the problem with immediate effect. The employees whose desks were affected were delighted and the company immediately ordered another eight deflectors for the rest of the building!

When air conditioning equipment is selected and installed correctly there should be no draughts. However, if desks are swapped around or a building is commissioned for another purpose it can turn out that draughts which had gone unnoticed become apparent. Sometimes draughts may be caused by the wrong type of installation such as a system that runs at a higher capacity than is required for the space. This will cause draughts and fluctuating temperatures.

Draughts from cold air are uncomfortable as anyone who has had the misfortune to sit in one can attest. Many people in air conditioned offices resort to wearing thick jumpers and it can be miserable. The cold draughts can result in muscle stiffness, pain and of course will affect productivity of staff members. Luckily the resolution of air conditioning draught problems such as these is easily resolved. The solution is simple and quick, and the installation of the fiberglass deflectors gives an immediate effect. They also look really quite on trend and modern so for most offices will add to the décor as well as restoring the working environment to a place of comfort and a perfect ambient temperature.

This time, the ceiling cassettes were causing uncomfortable draughts due to the desk layout.
We installed a fibreglass air deflector which was so effective they immediately ordered another eight!

How we got here

Air conditioning is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome: aqueduct water was passed through walls of houses to cool them. In medieval Persia similar techniques involving the use of cisterns and wind towers were used in the hot season to cool buildings.

Modern air conditioning emerged after advances in 19th Century chemistry, and it was Willis Haviland Carrier who invented and first used a large-scale electrical air conditioning system in 1902.

Air Conditioner Definition

An appliance, unit, system, or machine designed to stabilise the temperature and humidity of air within an area (used for both heating as well as cooling). A refrigeration cycle is the most common method of achieving this although sometimes evaporative coolers are used for comfort cooling inside buildings and vehicles.

Ceiling Mounted Cassettes Air Conditioner Installed in a Restaurant, Kew Gardens, London

Posted on November 22, 2016 by Jonathan

This project was an installation for a restaurant fit out in Kew near the site of the famous Kew Gardens. What some people may not know is Kew Botanical Gardens are the largest UNESCO World Heritage site in London offering vistas, iconic landscapes, and unique architecture from each period of the Gardens’ history. The living plant collection is the most diverse and largest in the world growing in our nurseries and glasshouses or out in the open. The area around the gardens is delightful with many interesting shops, restaurants and bars.

Our project planning and discussions with the client enabled us to come up with an air conditioning solution that not only met the client’s brief but offered extra value in the way of unit efficiency and running costs. It was by no means the easiest of projects but the finished result is definitely something to be proud of and will provide excellent service to the client for many years to come.

It was decided to install two ceiling mounted cassettes to cool and heat the restaurant by means of a Fujitsu inverter air conditioning device. The advantage of inverter technology comes up again and again as there is no impact of the electrical supply at start up and the smooth, consistent and economical running makes it the first choice of technology for many clients. Once they see the cost savings after the payback period, they are extremely satisfied.

Ceiling mounted cassette units work in exactly the same fashion as wall mounted split systems, the only difference being that one type of unit is ceiling mounted-hung and the other is wall mounted. The indoor ceiling mounted cassette sits flush to the ceiling and seamlessly distributes the clean air through the built in grilles. Grilles may be located on two three or four sides of the unit depending on the room characteristics.

With our experienced team of professionals, we were able to complete the project in just one day.
