Installing a split air conditioner brings great comfort…
But there's a detail that many people forget: the aesthetics of the environment.
Exposed pipes can compromise the entire decor — and nobody wants that, right?
The good news is that it's entirely possible to hide the piping discreetly and professionally.
In this video, you'll learn the best strategies to keep your environment beautiful and well-climatized.
📐 Planning: The Secret to Everything
Before drilling walls or installing the equipment, comes the most important step: planning.
The position of the evaporator and condenser defines the entire piping path.
👉 A poorly planned route can lead to:
Unnecessary demolition
Exposed pipes
Aesthetic damage
✅ Whenever possible, consult a professional to study the best route.
Remember: the earlier you plan, the better the visual result.
🏠 Use Plasterboard Ceilings to Your Advantage
If the room has a plasterboard ceiling, you have one of the best aesthetic solutions.
Piping can be run:
✔️ Between the plasterboard and the slab
✔️ Completely hidden
✔️ With a clean and sophisticated finish
🎯 This is one of the most used options in modern projects.
⚠️ Important tip: ideally, plan for this during construction or renovation to avoid rework.
🧱 Technical Channels and Drywall Walls
Another very efficient solution is to create a technical channel.
No drywall
An internal space is opened for the pipes
Then it's closed with a smooth finish
Result: invisible piping
No masonry
It's necessary to tear down the wall
Run the piping
Redo the plaster and paint
✅ Looks very nice when well executed
⚠️ Requires careful workmanship
📏 Cable trays: A Practical and Discreet Solution
It's not always possible to embed the piping — and that's okay.
In this case, cable trays are great allies.
Today there are models:
✔️ Thinner
✔️ More discreet
✔️ That can be painted the color of the wall
💡 Professional tip: Install the cable tray close to the ceiling or baseboard to make it less noticeable.
🎨 The Finish Makes All the Difference
It's no use hiding the pipes and neglecting the finish.
After Installation:
✔️ Use joint compound
✔️ Apply a good paint job
✔️ Harmonize with the decor
✨ A good finish enhances the environment and avoids a makeshift look.
✅ Conclusion
Concealing air conditioning piping is entirely possible without compromising aesthetics.
The secret lies in three points:
🔹 Correct planning
🔹 Choosing the right technique
🔹 Professional execution
When everything is done well, you guarantee:
✅ Beautiful environment
✅ Discreet installation
✅ Thermal comfort
✅ Increased property value
