An important part of the ventilation system of the room is the ceiling diffuser. This device is used to remove air from rooms. Without it, the room will not be comfortable. If the ventilation system is hidden, then the diffuser is considered the only part that will be visible. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a suitable fixture, because it should not only cope with its functions, but also fit the design of the room.
Definition
The ceiling diffuser is a ventilation grille on which the ventilation duct ends . Why does she have such a name? This is due to the fact that the device not only eliminates the exhaust air, but also performs an influx of fresh.
Work principles
Diffusers for the home should have a shape that evenly distributes the air throughout the room. It is necessary for a comfortable environment. This is ensured by:
- Hole shapes: if there are a lot of them, then this is ideal for evenly mixing air.
- Use of a static pressure chamber: it serves to protect against direct air penetration.
The camera is used as a buffer, with its help clean air comes into the room at a low speed. Thanks to this, people are protected from drafts, dust and other troubles. In classic apartments, you can hardly find a ceiling diffuser somewhere. This is due to the fact that apartment buildings have exhaust ventilation. Because of this, you can use the traditional grille under the ceiling.
Alternatives
Is it possible not to use diffusers for the home when the supply air duct is under the ceiling? It is possible, but with only two nuances:
- Providing only forced ventilation. Overpressure is used to eliminate dirty air. This system is used in offices and retail premises.
- It is necessary to install suspended ceilings.
Air is blowing over the suspended ceiling. The volume under it is static pressure. It enters the room through perforations in the ceiling panels. This system affects the suspended ceiling. It should be cassette, rack or metal parts. You do not have to use perforated panels and slats: harmonize types and colors.
Materials
These parts come in many forms. First of all, they are separated by material. The most popular are ceiling plastic diffusers. There are polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, which have a cheap cost. They are durable, which is necessary for pumping and pumping air. And the joining of parts is simple due to the plasticity of the material.
There are aluminum and steel products that are commonly used in manufacturing. Powerful fans can damage not very durable ducts. Moreover, ventilation usually works in a gassed atmosphere, as well as where there is acid fumes and heavy dust.
The ceiling diffuser may have a decorative part. Usually it is made of wood. Slot diffusers alter air outlet drift. They will look great indoors of any style. A narrow click on the ceiling will not be very noticeable.
The form
Diffusers in the form are of the following types:
- Round: effectively mix air thanks to turbulence. This is ensured by using a complex shape, lattice and blades.
- Square: function like round ones. A decorative grille will be visible in the room, and the static pressure chamber is hidden behind it.
Both devices are suitable for indoor use. With them, the correct flow of fresh air into the room will be ensured. In many rooms, a standard device is used - a ceiling diffuser (600x600 mm).
Installation
The mounting option is determined by the type of ceiling. It is also influenced by the shape of the diffuser. Round devices are embedded in drywall or mounted in a suspended ceiling.
Slot diffusers are attached to a reinforced concrete surface. They fit perfectly into any design. In its simple form, it looks like a slot in the duct, closed by a grill. A square diffuser is placed in the cassette ceiling. Thanks to the collapsible ceiling design, you can access the duct to perform cleaning and maintenance.
Installation work involves the following steps:
- It is necessary to mark the installation site.
- Then marks the fastening and its frame.
- Need to learn the installation method. Design parameters are marked.
- A grinder and a circle carry out an abasement in the wall.
- A diffuser is inserted, after which a mark is made.
- The holes are perforated.
- Mounting is carried out with screws or bolts.
Ceiling diffusers are almost invisible, so they are installed in different places. When installing, it is important to provide that the product fits into the ceiling, and then the surface will look harmonious.
Cost
The ceiling diffuser, the price of which is quite affordable, can be purchased in ordinary construction stores or via the Internet. The cost of products starts from 100 rubles. For such a price, you can buy small devices with a diameter of 40-60 cm.
The type of device does not greatly affect the cost. But a popular brand, especially if the product is manufactured by a European company, adds 2-3 times the price. There is no difference in air distribution.
A diffuser is necessary for each room, because it is required to ensure the release of unnecessary air, as well as the intake of clean air. With the appliance, the atmosphere in the room will be very comfortable.
