Baskets and brackets for air conditioners

Air conditioning equipment in an apartment is a system of devices that provides the occupants of the room with an optimal microclimate. Air intake is carried out by a special unit, which is mainly mounted in a special box or using wall brackets for the air conditioner. Works of this plan are carried out by the company LLC "RBK ALBA", offering the service in the list of many others.

What are brackets for air conditioners - manufacturing features

Air conditioner brackets are special clamps made of strong sheet steel or profiled rolled steel. Finally, the brackets for the external unit of the air conditioner are treated with protective substances. In more detail, the main stages of manufacturing air conditioner brackets can be described as follows:

• metal cutting - specialized machines or guillotines are used in the work;
• bending and stamping - blanks are processed on hydraulic presses;
• welding - craftsmen use a semi-automatic machine or connect parts with strong rivets.

Before installing the air conditioner brackets, anti-corrosion treatment is carried out. To strengthen the air conditioner brackets, the parts can be treated with a thin layer of zinc.

Specifics of manufacturing baskets for air conditioners

Protective baskets for air conditioners are a special metal structure that allows you to hide the external split system. Galvanized baskets for air conditioners reliably protect the equipment from precipitation, ultraviolet rays and vandals. Metal baskets for air conditioners also make it possible to give the house nobility by hiding the external units.

Another name for such decorative baskets for air conditioners is facade screens. They include a strong frame and decorative panels with perforations. Such facade baskets for air conditioners allow warm air to freely escape outside, preventing the equipment from overheating.

Most often, the frames of the basket for the air conditioner are made of aluminum or steel. The installation of baskets for air conditioners is carried out directly to the wall of the building using brackets. The process of manufacturing brackets for air conditioners to order is as follows:

• design - the engineer calculates the parameters of the basket for air conditioners on the facade and creates a schematic drawing;
• metal cutting – sheets are cut by a laser, which also makes perforation;
• assembly of a basket for external air conditioner units – metal is bent on a machine, parts are welded or fastened with bolts;
• painting of air conditioner baskets – to protect against mechanical damage; anti-vandal air conditioner baskets are treated with powder paint, which is then baked in a special oven.

During installation, the front and side panels of air conditioner baskets are fixed to the wall of the house with brackets. For easier maintenance, welded air conditioner baskets often provide for the presence of removable elements.

How to install brackets for air conditioners

Brackets are required to fix baskets for air conditioners, or simply split systems, to the outside. The process of making baskets for air conditioners to order involves several stages, which are carried out in a certain sequence:

• Preparation and search for a place. It is necessary to find the most even part of the wall without cracks and voids for fastening air conditioners. It is important to consider that the external unit should hang so that it is convenient to service it. 
• Marking. At first, the bracket is attached to the wall, after which the places of future holes are marked with a construction pencil. 
• Drilling. A hole is formed in the wall, carefully cleaned of dust, then anchor bolts made of durable metal are inserted there.
• Fastening metal brackets for air conditioners. They are fixed to the wall using screws or nuts. It is extremely important to check with a level that there is no angle of inclination of the air conditioner. Otherwise, this may lead to failure of the device.

The final stage is the installation of the unit. It is placed on fixed supports for air conditioners, being screwed into the lower segment in the legs through special holes.
