strawberry8 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 what material can be used for boxing up? if pipes do not leak I guess you dont ever need to touch the boxed up parts. If suay, then have to tear away box up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplez 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 If condensation take place then it will damage the box-up. Do make sure the air con man do a good insulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

htng 1 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 thanks simplez and strawberry8 I will take note. seriously, I never seen people boxing up aircon trunking. It is expensive n not so effective in my opinion because you can just paint over the trunking. When there is leakage, need to remove box up. In addition, also troublesome if u decided to replace trunking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolflet 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2010 boxing up is to beautify the place. but also causes problems in future if pipes are leaking or needs to be replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simplez 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2010 I have a friend who find the air con trunking running from her bedroom to the toilet very eyesore and she get it box-up. I guess it is up to individual preferences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Simplez Has good insulation anything to do with Class0 and Class 1? What do they refer to? I am so lost in these aircon tech terms. Pls help!

Mookie the class rating of insulation actually refers to the fire retardation. class 0 insulation is actually more resistant to fire as compared to class 1. no difference in insulation properties. at least that is what i was told Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
