Modular Rooms

What is a modular cold room?

An alternative to commercial fridges or freezers, a modular cold store is a prefabricated freestanding structure designed for cold storage.

Unlike traditional cold room that relies on cold room panels that are secured with silicone to form the structure and keep it airtight, modular cold room panels are cam-locked together on-site.

Other important differences include:

• The size of the room

Modular cold rooms come in standard sizes, whereas cold rooms can be more bespoke.

• The shape of the room

A modular cold room can have more shape or orientation limitations due to the use of standard sizing; walk-in fridge-freezers avoid this.

• The temperature capabilities

Modular cold rooms can accommodate temperature ranges of around -20 to +10°C, while traditional walk-in spaces can cover -40 to +30°C.

Where can a modular cold room be used?

A modular cold room can be highly beneficial for a range of businesses, including:

• Those who can’t add permanent features – For example, those renting business spaces
• That needs cold room capabilities much faster – Ahead of a big order, business expansion, or key trading season, e.g. summer wedding season for florists, etc
• With an unchangeable footprint due to location or contractual constraints –  Like a shop inside a pre-existing building
• Seasonal suppliers – Modular cold rooms can be quickly erected as your busy season approaches.
• Those that are smaller – For example, cottage industries or home-based companies
• Those who are working with smaller budgets – As modular cold rooms are more economical
• Which will be sharing outdoor facilities – Such as market stalls or pop-up eateries, which may not have a designated building for stock storage

Benefits of a modular cold room

• Wide suitability

Thanks to the remaining flexibility in design, modular cold rooms can suit a wide range of businesses and industries, including those that need commercial chilling, freezing, and a combination of the two.

• Bespoke storage in a few days

Thanks to the cam-locked structure, most modular cold rooms can be constructed and be up and running in a day or two – giving you the storage you need, as you need it.

• Economical

Modular cold rooms are less expensive than traditional cold rooms – though they also don’t last as long, so be sure to bear this in mind.

• Increased energy efficiency

Compared to running multiple commercial fridges or freezers, a modular cold room offers high-performance chilling/freezing thanks to high-performance panels and refrigeration systems.
