How Much Does A Modular Cold Room Cost?

Cold room fridges and freezers are a fantastic way of storing food, drink, and other goods within a temperature range of -40 to +30°C.

But, if you don’t have the space or permissions to permanently alter a building and insert your own, a modular cold room from our sister company MTCSS brings similar temperature control benefits, without the need for construction work and an interruption to business operations!

But how much will a modular cold room cost?

How Much will a Modular Cold Room Cost?

A modular cold room’s price is lower than a traditional cold room thanks to the modular construction and building materials needed.

However, it isn’t possible to give a one-off cost for a modular cold room without qualifying the following factors first:

• The room size

Modular cold rooms come in a range of pre-set small to medium sizes that give a variety of possible room orientations. Choosing a larger room will incur a higher cost, while a smaller room will be more economical.

• Intended use

Constructed using insulated panels which vary by thickness, modular cold rooms can accommodate the preferred temperature range within. If you require a space that can freeze goods, specialist thicker panels will be needed, and this increase in thickness will also affect price.

• Component choices, like cold room doors and floors

Depending on the components you choose, the total price can go up or down. Sliding doors for a walk-in freezer, for example, will cost more than an ambient temperature personnel door.

• If you require installation

MTCSS can install your modular cold room for you – which is incredibly handy if you don’t have an in-house team to do it for you, though, as you would expect, this will cost more.

Why Choose a Modular Cold Room Over a Traditional Cold Room?

There are a range of reasons a business might be considering a modular cold room instead of a walk-in fridge or freezer, including:

• Faster construction

A modular cold room is constructed from cam-locked insulated panels (in a range of thicknesses) that come in a range of set sizes.

For this reason, they can be put up much more quickly than traditional built-in walk-in cold rooms which require silicone to seal them.

This also means that with some expert support, DIY enthusiasts can build their modular cold room – something that would not be possible with a walk-in fridge/freezer.

• Great temperature range

Modular spaces can accommodate temperature ranges between -20 to +10°C, while walk-in spaces can cover -40 to +30°C.

This means modular cold rooms can be a perfectly acceptable alternative to more powerful walk-in fridge freezers – who would use more electricity and cost more to run.

• Don’t require built-in construction

Modular cold rooms are perfect for those renting or in buildings with limited footprints, as they don’t need to be built into the building itself. Instead, you can put the modular space on unused land or even in parking spaces that you have on-site.

• Economy

A modular cold room is more economical than a traditional walk-in cold room, making it ideal for businesses that are working with tighter margins or have less profit to reinvest in expanding business operations.

• Durability

While they may be a less expensive option, a modular cold room can still last 10-15 years with proper care and maintenance – giving businesses excellent value for money.
