Cassette Air Conditioners

Cassette units recess into a suspended ceiling grid, throwing conditioned air in four directions from a flush ceiling panel. They cool larger, open floor areas more evenly than wall splits while keeping walls and floor space completely clear: the standard choice for open-plan offices, retail floors and restaurant dining areas with a false ceiling already in place.

Key Features

4-Way Air Throw

Even distribution across the room from a single central ceiling point.

Auto Air Sweep

Motorised louvres adjust airflow direction automatically to avoid cold draughts.

Low Profile Panel

Panel sits flush with the ceiling grid for a clean architectural finish.

High Airflow

Higher air volume per unit than an equivalent wall split, suited to larger open floors.

Inverter Technology

Variable-speed operation for part-load efficiency during off-peak occupancy.

Filter Sign Indicator

Alerts facilities staff when filter cleaning is due.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a false ceiling to install a cassette unit?

Yes, cassette units recess into a suspended ceiling grid. If you don't have one, a ceiling-suspended or ducted unit is usually a better fit.

How many cassette units does an open-plan office need?

This depends on floor area, ceiling height, glazing and occupancy; we calculate exact unit count and placement during the site survey rather than a fixed ratio.

Are cassette units noisier than wall splits?

Indoor sound levels are comparable to wall splits of similar capacity, generally 30–42 dB(A) depending on fan speed.
