Custom Cold Room & Freezer Room Installations

Overview

An engineered room, not a catalog size

Cold rooms vary far more than most buyers expect. A room for chilled produce, one for frozen meat and one for a distribution hub each need a different envelope, air flow and refrigeration plant. We therefore treat every cold store as a small project and design it around what goes in, how often it is moved and where it stands.

What the package covers

The insulated envelope with panels and roof, insulated doors, evaporators, condensing or compressor units, shelving and storage layout, and temperature monitoring. For frozen rooms the floor needs frost protection so the ground beneath does not heave; we flag this at design stage because it affects the foundation.

Sizing the refrigeration

Cooling capacity follows from the heat load: product temperature on arrival, daily throughput, door openings, lighting, people, and the climate outside. We calculate the load and then choose evaporators and condensing units with some margin, rather than guessing from floor area.

Where these rooms are used

Typical uses are food processing, wholesale distribution, restaurants and hotels supplying large kitchens, and farms that must hold produce before it reaches market. Mixed-temperature sites can have several rooms sharing one building shell.

Site interfaces

Refrigerant choice, electrical supply, fire protection, drainage, forklift traffic and racking all touch the cold room design. We list them early so your building contractor and ours work from the same drawings.

Shipping and installation

Panels, doors and refrigeration equipment ship in containers. Installation supervision and commissioning can be arranged under the contract.

Scope and documents

Each project comes with a written scope, drawings or a specification, and a clear list of what is and is not included. Shipping, spare parts and installation are covered in the same document.

Compared with a modular cold room

This page covers cold and freezer rooms that are engineered for your building rather than bought off the shelf. Use it for walk-in rooms larger than a standard modular unit, rooms with several temperature zones, loading docks, or rooms built into an existing structure with uneven floors or columns.

Our modular walk-in cold room is the faster option for a single room of a common size. It arrives as pre-cut panels and fits quickly. A custom installation takes more design time, but it lets you set door position, panel thickness, floor type, refrigeration capacity and pallet racking layout around your goods.

The main design questions are product temperature, daily load, door openings per hour and ambient temperature. Meat, dairy and ice cream need different temperatures and humidity from fruit and vegetables. A freezer room also needs a heated floor or ventilated base to prevent frost heave in the slab. Floor plan, product and target temperatures decide panel and refrigeration size.
