London Air Deflector Installation

31 air deflectors sold and installed this week to improve comfort cooling systems in offices.

 

There is nothing like a comfortable working environment to keep employees motivated and happy. Air conditioning has a large part to play in maintaining that comfort for people. The temperature is centrally controlled either by an office or shop manager or by the Building Facilities Manager in larger buildings. The objective is to have a constant temperature throughout the building.

 

Sometimes, with air conditioning some employees end up sitting in a draught and become very cold as they are positioned in the chilled air flow from nearby vents, while other employees are enjoying the benefits of a comfortable ambient temperature. This leads to dissatisfaction and impacts on the welfare of the worker. They may be the ones wearing a sweater or coat in an otherwise pleasant atmosphere. It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure the working environment is suitable for purpose and for those that must sit nearby a cold air draught, clearly it is not suitable. In time people can become sick from the constant chill.

 

Fortunately, there is a solution which not only improves the performance of the air conditioning system but also creates a pleasant environment for those people suffering from the cold air draughts. We were asked to do some rectification work using vent deflectors designed for air conditioning as an easy and quick solution that would also improve performance. This type of install usually provides immediate relief by circulating the air more efficiently around the entire work space eliminating draughts. There are different types of deflector for different air conditioning units made from materials such as plastic or fibreglass.

 

While the job of the air conditioning deflector is to redirect air along the ceiling to end cold air draughts and breezes by improving the air flow and indoor air quality, more importantly it improves conditions for people in the work place.

Whilst servicing some Air conditioning units in EC1, the client mentioned some members of staff complained about draughts from the Ceiling mounted units.

We offered to supply an air deflector, free of charge, to trial in their most problem area.

 

 

As a result the client decided to order one for all the units in occupied areas of the office.

We returned to the offices in Clerkenwell and completed the installation of the fibreglass air deflectors. We were delighted that the client was so pleased with the original so it was our pleasure to return and add another eight deflectors around the offices. As can be seen from the photo, the offices are quite stylish and the deflectors actually add a really on trend feel to the décor. Our team always feel pleased when a job is so appreciated by the client.

 

These deflectors can also be used in situations where desk layouts mean some people can be a little on the cool side and others are not. This is usually in relation to where a desk is sited under the ceiling cassette. It is not always old draughty air conditioning systems that need them. Personal preferences often mean some people do not enjoy the temperature and air flow that others do. In large open plan offices for example people sitting directly under a ceiling mounted unit can be too cold, while others in the same area may not feel the benefits.

Air Deflectors fit on different sizes of air conditioning cassettes and can definitely improve the aesthetics of the working environment as we have discovered. The deflectors are positioned directly the air conditioning cassette redirect the flow of air to the area needed most, allowing control over the area at a more constant air flow.

The air deflectors are very low maintenance and nothing is required other than to keep them dusted during regular cleaning maintenance. All in all, these fibreglass air deflectors are a simple and efficient solution to dispersing air flow neatly. It certainly avoids installing a whole new air conditioning system if the system is operating fine except for some chilly patches.

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!
