Hi guys! I'm late to this thread. Finally created an account to post here after lurking on and off over the past few years. I haven't had much luck getting a good bto number after several tries so I ended up getting a resale unit earlier this year.
My reno started in early Oct and it's about to be completed. Though along the way there have been quite a few bad planning, mistakes and hiccups. Anyway, I am currently facing abit of a issue and wondered if anyone has any input to share. So, I hacked off the wall seperating the living room and the bedroom and installed sliding glass doors with the tracks running through a partial partition wall built down from the ceiling. Curtains will be installed on the ceiling in front of the sliding doors.
Now I'm facing abit of a dilemma on where I should mount my spilt unit aircon. I sealed the bedroom entrance to the toilet to build a wardrobe along that wall. The plan was initially supposed to have the aircon mount next to the wardrobe on this wall but turns out there's not enough space, so my aircon ended up moved to the wall above the bed facing the sliding doors with the aircon trunking running through the entire length of my wardrobe. I'm really not very comfortable with this as in the event the aircon leaks and also pipe sweating could damage my carpentry.
I'm looking to see if I can move the aircon to the partition wall facing my bed but because the curtains needed to mount on the ceiling, the aircon unit will be in the way. I was wondering if I could build a curtain pelmet and then mount the aircon unit on this pelmet instead.
I have attached a picture of how my aircon is mounted at the moment and also a picture of what I'm thinking of doing with mounting the aircon on a curtain pelmet in front of the curtains. Anyone has any idea?
