Window-to-split conversion in Al Aqeeq

It depends on what the original opening was. In some rooms the opening was cut into a solid wall with no window frame, so it is fully closed. If the original build can take a window, we discuss that at the survey and tell you what is actually possible in your wall.

The old opening is usually much larger than the small core a split needs, and its position may not suit the copper and drain route. It is safer to close it fully and drill a new hole in the right place, so no hidden gaps remain to let air through or collect moisture.

We place thermal insulation inside the wall layers before plastering, and use sealing materials that form a continuous barrier from inside to outside. Jeddah's combination of humidity and salt accelerates the breakdown of any temporary patch, so we treat the closed opening as a new wall section, not a surface repair.

In a rented flat it is wise to check with the owner or management office first, because the work changes the building's outside face. In a villa you own the decision is yours. We explain the full scope at the survey so you can get any approval needed before the work day.

Yes. A concrete wall needs a different filling method and may require a repair mix rather than standard block. We identify the wall type at the survey and choose the material that bonds solidly with the existing concrete, leaving no hidden gaps for moisture to enter later.

No, we seal it with materials and colours that perfectly match the façade's design, so it looks harmonious as if that was always the plan.

We choose an aesthetically suitable spot, usually the back or side wall, and ensure the mounting is neat with tidy cable runs.

The reliable units we fit handle Jeddah's intense dry heat, and servicing once or twice yearly keeps peak performance.

Yes, we can create space behind timber screening or dense planting, but must ensure air circulates around the unit for proper cooling and drain flow.
