Many businesses waste fresh fruit and veg due to their fridges being disorganised, which leads to produce being forgotten or lost within the storage. Investing in a walk in cold room can help your business to streamline processes and improve productivity, saving you money on food wastage.
The insulated room keeps products at an optimal temperature and allows them to be quickly and easily stored in small quantities, so they’re always available when needed. It’s an ideal solution for the food industry, where large batches of prepared food can be kept at a stable, low-temperature level. This makes it easy for chefs to keep fresh ingredients at hand and create meals on demand, and also for manufacturers to stock up on key raw materials.

However, the applications for these two types of refrigerated storage units differ significantly – and it’s important to understand what you need before investing in either option.
The walk in cold room bottom plate is usually higher than the floor to protect against thermal bridge. The gap between the bottom plate and floor is filled with insulation material to reduce heat transfer. The insulation is usually made of rock wool or polyurethane foam. To avoid condensation, the walls and roof of the walk in cold room should be moisture-proofed to prevent the build up of ice.
