Cold Storage Doors – What Are They?

Cold storage doors, also known as cold room doors, – they are more than just an access point for your cold rooms! Your cold storage doors are an essential component of your cold room, and directly contribute towards many factors such as your cold room efficiency and energy levels. 

What exactly are cold storage doors, you ask? MTCSS are here to tell you… 

What Exactly Is A Cold Storage Door?

Cold storage doors are doors that are manufactured specifically for use in low temperature environments – chilled or frozen – and simultaneously insulate your cold room envelope. 

In the simplest form, you cannot have a cold room without a cold storage door. 

Cold storage doors, also referred to as a cold room doors, are constructed by either foam injection or panel wrapping to create an insulated door system. Because cold storage doors have insulative qualities, they contribute towards your cold room maintaining a consistent temperature for your business and processes. 

Depending on your requirements, the type of cold storage door you require (and best suits your specifications) will differ. There are also several considerations you must consider before investing in a cold storage door… 

Considerations When Choosing a Cold Storage Door 

Because cold room doors are made for a specific function, it’s essential that you choose the correct cold room door to align with your requirements and application.– For example, if you have a freezer cold room, then a semi-insulated door suited to maintain positive temperatures won’t work for you! 

This is why it’s important to understand your temperature and access requirements – to allow us to provide you with a suitable cold storage door that will benefit your business and its processes.
