What Kind of Cold Room Door Do You Need in Your Cold Rooms?

Doors are an important part of your cold room. They allow access to your cold rooms and help maintain internal temperatures. Ensuring your cold rooms are optimally insulated is extremely important—so making sure you choose the correct type of door for your cold room is essential. 

MTCSS is here to help you understand the different types of door solutions available for your cold rooms, and how to know which type of door to use. 

The Correct Type of Door For Your Cold Room

Let’s break it down. Cold rooms, or temperature-controlled rooms that maintain chilled or frozen temperatures (between +10 and -45°C) must have a suitable cold room door to maintain your refrigerated cold room temperatures. 

If you have a cold room with a door that isn’t suited correctly to your cold room requirements, it could be disastrous for your cold room and products. 

A cold room must have a suitable cold room door for two main reasons – insulation and safety.  

Cold room doors are suitable for cold rooms maintaining low temperatures. Therefore, if you have a chiller cold room or freezer cold room then a cold room door solution is ideal for you. 

The insulated panels that construct a cold room door offer efficient insulation properties for your cold rooms, ensuring your cold room temperature remains consistent. 

Having access to your cold room is essential, but can become a safety hazard if the incorrect type is used, which is why it’s necessary to understand the correct type of cold room doors available for your cold room application.

The most commonly used cold room doors for chiller and freezer cold rooms are hinged and sliding cold room doors. We’ll explore these further below…

Sliding Cold Room Doors – Similar to hinged cold room doors, sliding cold room doors can be utilised within chiller and freezer cold room environments down to -45°C and are the perfect solution if you require a larger opening to your cold rooms for vehicle or pallet access.

They are also customisable, and have a range of elements that you can change to make your sliding cold room door bespoke to you. For example, adding an automated opening system or vision panels – get in contact with the team today for more information.
