Discreet Comfort for Stylish Interiors – Expertly Installed by Arcas
What Is a Bulkhead AC System?
A bulkhead air conditioning system is a type of concealed split system designed to fit into ceiling recesses, drop-down bulkheads, or voids. The indoor unit is hidden above the ceiling line with only a slim linear grille visible, allowing for clean finishes and uninterrupted wall space.
Perfect for properties with unique architectural features or limited ceiling space, bulkhead AC units are a discreet and elegant alternative to wall-mounted air conditioners.
