Polar U-Series 1.2 x 1.5m Integral Walk-In Cold Room – Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully self-contained chilled storage unit supplied in an olive green finish. As an integral design, the refrigeration system is built into the room itself — there is no requirement for remote condensers, separate plant rooms, or ducting runs. That makes it a practical choice for operations where space, budget, or building access would make a remote refrigeration system difficult to manage.

The unit holds temperature reliably within a chilled range even when the surrounding ambient temperature is high, which is a relevant consideration for kitchen environments that can become warm during service. The forced-air cooling system circulates air evenly through the interior, helping to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the stored load rather than only near the evaporator. The panel construction uses a dovetail joining system with a fully rebated, lockable door, which contributes to thermal efficiency and helps prevent condensation ingress.

From an operational standpoint, the self-contained format offers several practical advantages:

• No remote plant room or roof-mounted condenser required, simplifying installation considerably
• Lockable door supports stock security and portion control in busy kitchens
• Moisture management built into the design helps reduce internal humidity and surface condensation
• Forced-air circulation supports even temperature distribution across the stored load
• R449A refrigerant is a lower-GWP option aligned with current commercial refrigeration standards

Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, professional fit-out, and commissioning. This is a mainland UK service only. The unit is built to order in the specified colour, which means it is non-returnable once ordered — it is worth confirming the site dimensions, floor condition, and access route before placing an order. If the unit is to be installed in an exposed outdoor location, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately. Shelving and racking are also sold separately and should be planned as part of the overall setup.

A footprint of 1.2 x 1.5 metres suits smaller to mid-sized operations — think independent restaurants, cafés with significant fresh stock, pub kitchens, or small contract catering units. For sites with higher throughput or more frequent access demands, a larger-footprint model may be worth considering instead. Similarly, if the available floor area is very limited, it is worth reviewing whether the door swing and clear access around the unit will work practically in the proposed location.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your site, or if you have questions about the installation requirements for your building, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
