Refurbishing Your Cold Room After Christmas? Invest In These Cold Room Spares

Everyone knows that Christmas is the busiest period of the year for both businesses and consumers. With Christmas just around the corner and stock being ordered, your cold storage solutions are soon going to be filled with products ready to sell to your customers.

One important action you should take after the Christmas rush is refurbishing your cold room solutions with the help of cold room spares. But why?

Simply put, if you don’t refurbish or replace elements of your cold room after increased usage during the holiday season, your cold room may begin to show signs of failure – which is never good when your business and products rely on a temperature-controlled solution!

Poorly functioning cold rooms can lead to a loss of stock, and even pose several health and safety risks to your employees.

The usage of cold room spares and parts can not only save your cold room from potential failure, but it can also save you money in the long run without having to entirely replace your cold room.

Why Should You Use These Spares Help To Refurbish Your Cold Room?

In a period where stock efficiency is priority, smaller elements of your cold room will often be overlooked.

As a business it’s better to be prepared, than have to sort a solution immediately to ensure your stock doesn’t get damaged.

So why should you use these cold room spares?

1. Cold Room Door Gaskets – Christmas time for many industries means an increase in stock, and with an increase in stock comes an increase in deliveries. If your cold room door has had any impact damage as a result of deliveries (EG; forklifts or pallet damage) then it’s imperative you not only replace them, but the sealing on them too.

Damage to a cold room door can result in a reduction in its insulating capabilities – potentially jeopardizing your products due to the lack of thermal insulation.

Cold room gaskets should be replaced as soon as you notice there is a fault because if not, they allow the refrigerated air in your cold room to escape and the warm air from outside to enter – increasing the number of potential further problems your cold room will face.

An efficient cold room door – with optimally sealing gaskets – will reduce the impact placed on your refrigeration systems, and can potentially help you to save money on running costs!

2. Cold Room Curtains – Cold room curtains add an additional layer of insulation to your cold room, further protecting your products at your desired temperature when the door is in the open position.

However, if your curtain is damaged it will begin to allow air to escape and enter your walk-in cold room, meaning that your refrigeration units may have to work harder in order to refrigerate your products to their required temperature.

Instead of having to replace all of your cold room’s stock, investing in a cold room curtain suitable for your requirements is an easy way to prevent this from occurring.

3. Refrigerated Cabinet Protection – Within the food & drink retail industry, refrigerated cabinets play a large part in both displaying and refrigerating your products. If your cabinets are faulty in any way, this can impact your trading levels significantly.

One way to prevent this from occurring? Keep on top of your refrigerated display cabinets condition and consider replacing or investing in a refrigerated cabinet bump rail.

Cabinet bump rails act as reliable protection for your refrigerated cabinets and are manufactured to fit around curved applications for a seamless and strong protection against any damage.

For example, if a trolley or pallet crashes into your refrigerated cabinet with a bump rail attached, the PVC flattens out when impacted and releases the impact energy away from the main fixture.

4. Cold Room Flooring Plates – Naturally, your cold rooms will experience an increase in personnel foot traffic due to the increase in demand and stock.

If you’ve noticed your cold room flooring has taken the brunt of your increased storage, then it’s likely you will need a cold room refurbishment to get them replaced or reinforced. If you fail to refurbish your cold room flooring, this can lead to serious health & safety hazards as well as negatively impacting your entire cold room and products.

Not only will it become a trip hazard for employees, it can also affect the usage of your cold rooms in terms of bringing stock in and out. Furthermore, if left, it can cause further structural damage to your flooring and cause a build-up of ice – which just leads to an array of complications!
