Modern Climate Control Solutions for a Backwell Kitchen Extension

Project Overview

When adding a kitchen extension with striking bi-fold doors, maintaining a comfortable temperature becomes paramount. This was exactly the challenge faced by our client in Backwell, Somerset. The extensive glass frontage, while providing beautiful natural light, created specific climate control requirements that needed careful consideration.

The Challenge

The project presented an interesting set of requirements that called for both technical expertise and aesthetic sensitivity:

The new kitchen extension featured substantial glazing, including bi-fold doors that would significantly impact the room’s temperature
The design demanded a climate control solution that would complement rather than detract from the contemporary space
The installation needed to be powerful enough to handle temperature fluctuations while remaining visually unobtrusive

Working with the client, we identified that the space would require precise temperature management throughout the year. The large glass surfaces would create a greenhouse effect during warmer months and potentially cause heat loss during colder periods, so the solution needed to be both powerful and adaptable.

Initial Assessment

Our team conducted a thorough evaluation of the space, taking into account:

The room’s dimensions and layout
The extent of glazing and its impact on heat gain
Preferred locations for the unit that would balance effectiveness with aesthetics
Structural considerations for concealing pipework and drainage

This detailed assessment determined that a 5kW system would provide optimal climate control for the space while meeting all architectural and aesthetic requirements.

Technical Solution

The black Daikin wall-mounted unit proved to be an ideal match for this kitchen extension. Its selection stemmed from its combination of performance and design. The sleek black finish complements the existing fittings, creating a cohesive look that enhances the room’s aesthetic appeal.

The 5kW output delivers robust performance, offering precise temperature control throughout the area. This capacity is particularly important for spaces with extensive glazing. Glass surfaces can create substantial heat gain on sunny days, and cooking activities add their own heat load to the space.

Installation Excellence

The installation process required careful planning to achieve a flawless finish. We approached this project with a two-visit strategy:

First Visit:

Plan the optimal routing for all pipework
Map out the drainage system requirements
Prepare the mounting locations

Second Visit:

Complete the installation with hidden pipework
Install the concealed condensate drainage
Commission the system

This methodical approach maintained the extension’s clean lines and contemporary appearance. The finished installation looks as though it was part of the original design, with nothing feeling retrofitted or out of place.

The black Daikin unit sits perfectly against the wall, its design complementing the room’s aesthetic. All necessary pipework remains completely hidden from view, preserving the minimalist appeal while delivering powerful cooling performance.

System Performance and Features

The black Daikin wall-mounted unit offers more than just striking looks. Its advanced features prove particularly beneficial in a kitchen extension setting. The 5kW cooling capacity provides precise temperature management across the space, responding quickly to changes in heat load from both sunlight and cooking activities.

The unit’s whisper-quiet operation provides minimal disruption during conversations or television viewing. This feature proves particularly valuable in an open-plan kitchen extension where the space serves multiple purposes throughout the day.
