Cold rooms are absolutely vital in many industrial areas. As the name suggests, a cold room is designed to provide low temperatures for storing several products. Though cold rooms are more common in bio-based and pharmaceutical companies, there are also many other industries like the meat-processing industry that uses cold rooms. Funeral homes and morgues are other places that need a cold room.

There are two ways to build cold rooms. You can construct a traditional cold room, so it remains as a permanent part of your business, or you can build a modular cold room that can be dismantled or relocated based on your preferences. Modular storage rooms consist of refrigeration sized rooms fit for commercial storage and applications. A key difference between traditional or industrial cold rooms and modular cold rooms is that the latter is much larger and can facilitate bulk storage of goods. Some rooms even allow vehicle access, especially in food and drink warehouses.

 When it comes to construction, a significant difference is the cost. Obviously, industrial cold rooms cost a lot more than modular cold rooms. So, before we begin working on a cold room, we work with you to understand your requirements, available space and budget. Based on these factors, we give the right suggestions, so you can make informed decisions.

This is sure to bring up an interesting question in your mind. How different is the process of building an industrial cold room different from that of a modular cold room?

Before we begin constructing an industrial cold room, we draw the layout. Ideally, this should have entry and exit points to make it easy for both employees and vehicles to access the room and take things for delivery. A room should also have enough space for forklifts, so any part of the storage space can be accessed when needed.  Depending on the available space, we work with you to decide if this should be a standalone unit or one that should be attached to any building. Accordingly, we use traditional materials to build a permanent cold room for you.

On the other hand, if you want a modular cold room, we build it using flat panels for walls, ceilings and floor. These panels with energy efficient materials and they can maintain the optimal temperature. Stainless steel is a common material used for the surface of these panels. 

A big advantage with modular cold rooms is they can be constructed quickly within no time at all, and is ready for use within just a few minutes. They can also be removed and moved easily, if that is one of your requirements for a cold room.  

We also design and build the right doors for cold rooms, as they play an integral role in maintaining the temperature. 

In all, we take care of all your cold room needs, we work with you to help you decide on the type of room you want and will build accordingly.
