In 2025, integrating outdoor units of air conditioners and heat pumps becomes a top priority. Stricter local regulations, growing aesthetic requirements, and increasing customer expectations… These trends place aesthetic finishes at the heart of every project: they now determine the approval of works, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction.
To support this market transformation, DECOCLIM is expanding its range with new accessories: side panel extensions, height extensions, adjustment feet… Solutions designed to offer more modularity for professionals, more discretion for homeowners, and a fully integrated cover for air conditioners and heat pumps in all types of settings.
The Market is Evolving – and So is DECOCLIM
Stricter Local Regulations
In many cities and housing communities, it is becoming difficult to install an outdoor unit for air conditioning or a heat pump without hiding or integrating it into the architecture.
- As soon as a compressor is visible from public areas or façades, a prior declaration is often required, and in heritage zones or near historic buildings, approval from local authorities may be mandatory.
- In shared buildings, approval from the owners’ association is essential, and visual or even noise disturbances may be prohibited by the building’s rules.
Increased Demand for a High-Quality Finish
Given these urban planning rules and increasingly strict regulations, installers, architects, and private individuals are actively seeking aesthetic, discreet, and regulation-compliant integration solutions.
In this context, finish quality becomes a key factor: it determines whether authorizations are granted, the satisfaction of clients, and the acceptance of the project. To meet these on-site demands for finish and adaptability, DECOCLIM is expanding its range in 2025.
Three new options now complement the existing range, enabling a more complete and refined cover solution.
New Accessories for 2025: A More Refined Finish
Side Panel Extensions for a 360° Finish
When a DECOCLIM cover is adjusted in depth, a gap may appear between the wall and the unit, sometimes exposing pipes and fittings. The new side panels fill this gap for a uniform finish, without compromising ventilation thanks to their matching louvered vents.
- Direct attachment to the adjustable rails
- Powder-coated rustproof aluminium, 10-year warranty.
Height Extensions for All Unit Sizes
No more stacking or oversized covers. With height extensions (from +30 to +55 cm depending on the model), each installation gets its tailored solution.
- Space-saving, optimized design, simplified installation
- DECOCLIM now offers 8 sizes to best fit every configuration.
Adjustment Feet for Perfect Ground Stability
Sloped terrain or uneven slabs? The adjustable feet from 1 to 3 cm ensure a straight, stable and secure setup.
- Compatible with all models
- Made of galvanized steel and polypropylene: guaranteed durability
Finishes Already Available and Still Highly Popular
The Bottom Panel: Discreet, Even at Height
Essential for units mounted high on a wall, the bottom panel hides the device even from below, ensuring a 100% integrated cover.
- Quick, tool-free installation with clips
- Available in 11 colours, aluminium finish with 10-year warranty
The Rear Panel: Elegance from Every Angle
Perfect for installations visible from behind (gardens, pools…), the rear panel ensures a harmonious finish on all four sides.
- Available in 11 colours
- Simple, drill-free installation
- UV, weather, and corrosion resistant
New Formats, New Colour: the DECOCLIM Range Expands
DECOCLIM is expanding its range with a new colour for its air conditioner covers: RAL 6005 Moss Green. This deep green, inspired by nature, allows for discreet and elegant integration into landscaped environments such as hedges, gardens, tree-lined terraces or natural façades.
This new colour is available on the 100% aluminium model, with a high-resistance powder-coated finish that reflects DECOCLIM’s standards for durability and weather protection.
On the wooden air conditioner cover side, the exotic cat.4 range is expanding with an XL format, designed for larger installations while retaining the natural charm of the material.
These additions help professionals meet every demand and allow customers to enjoy an ever-expanding range of air conditioner covers.
DECOCLIM, the benchmark for technical and aesthetic cover solutions with no compromise
At DECOCLIM, every accessory is designed to simplify installation, save time on-site and adapt to any constraints. Modularity becomes the standard: no more last-minute solutions – DECOCLIM's accessories cover every configuration.
With these new additions, the brand reaffirms its ambition: to offer the most complete, aesthetic, durable and adaptable cover solutions on the market. In 2025, technical coverings become a true part of the architectural project. And DECOCLIM is the trusted partner.
“Before, we often had to adapt on-site and make compromises. With the new accessories, everything is modular, flexible, easy to install and perfectly integrated. My clients love it!”
