Cold room door gaskets

What is a door gasket and seal?

Cold room door gaskets are a seal added to the base and perimeter of the door to close the gap between the door and the frame.

Cold room door seals or gaskets come in a few types, including:

• Perimeter gasket – which goes around the top and sides of the cold room door
• Bottom/sweeper gaskets – which seal at the base, improve the seal, and keep it free from debris.
• Cabinet door seal – for refrigerated cabinets to suit doors such as REMIS, Anthony, and Schott brand cabinets that you might find in the supermarket or convenience shop.

Depending on the type of cold room or cabinet you have, the kind of door seal or gasket you need can differ, so feel free to contact us if you don’t know what you need. We offer an image message service that matches your WhatsApp images to a specific product code for easy ordering and installation.

Benefits of cold room door gaskets and seals

Predominantly used to keep cool air in and warm air out, you should check your cold room rubber door seals routinely as part of regular maintenance to stop issues with temperature fluctuations and spoiled stock.

Other benefits of proper cold room door seals include:

• Reduced energy consumption

Keeping internal temperatures consistent with the set temperature range is the sole function of cold storage.

If all possible refrigerated air is kept inside and warmer outside air is kept out, thanks to the physical barrier of a tight door seal, the refrigeration system won’t need to work harder. Thereby reducing energy usage and costs, so you don’t need to put off looking at the meter!

• Prevented frost and condensation build-up

Inconvenient, a potential slip-hazard, and damaging to the coldroom door and your stock, frost and condensation build-up is detrimental all-round.

If warm air is allowed to enter through a damaged or ageing door seal, for example, it will condense on cold surfaces before freezing, causing frost build-up and doors that are frozen shut.

Likewise, cold room door seals reduce condensation on the outside of the cold room, which can decrease maintenance needs and stop slips.

• A longer cold room lifespan

Keeping your refrigeration system in good working order and replacing worn parts, like gaskets, when needed, is the easiest – and cheapest – way to extend the lifespan of your cold room.
