Buyer’s guide

Bulkhead / Slim Ducts, explained.

Ducted looks for one or two rooms

A bulkhead unit hides in a dropped ceiling or joinery and feeds short ducts to one or two rooms. You get the clean ceiling of ducted without conditioning the whole house: the usual pick for master suites, studios and hotel-style fit-outs.

FAQs

Bulkhead / Slim Duct questions, answered

When is a bulkhead better than a wall split?

When you want the wall and ceiling clean: bedrooms where a wall head would intrude, renovations chasing a minimal look, and rooms with no good wall position. The unit hides in a bulkhead and only a slim grille shows.

Does a bulkhead need a big ceiling cavity?

No. These are compact units designed for shallow voids and joinery: far smaller than a whole-home ducted unit.
