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

The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage solution designed for commercial food service operations. Unlike modular cold rooms that require a separate remote refrigeration unit, this model houses all refrigeration components within the structure itself, making site requirements more straightforward and the overall footprint more predictable. It holds a chilling temperature between 2°C and 5°C, making it appropriate for general fresh produce, dairy, and prepared food storage.

In a busy kitchen environment, a walk-in cold room changes how a team works. The accessible floor space allows organised bulk storage with clear stock rotation, reducing the time staff spend searching through upright cabinets during service. The refrigeration system is rated to maintain temperature even when ambient conditions reach 43°C, which matters in kitchens where the surrounding environment can warm significantly during a full service. Forced air circulation helps hold consistent temperatures throughout the interior rather than relying on passive cold air distribution.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Rebated lockable door closes flush to the wall panel, improving both security and temperature retention
• Smooth internal surfaces support straightforward cleaning and compliance with hygiene standards
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, giving flexibility on kitchen layout
• Integral design removes the need for a separate machine room or remote condenser unit
• Uses R449A refrigerant, a lower global warming potential alternative to older refrigerants

Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, and professional set-up. This is available to mainland UK locations only. The unit weighs 350kg, so the floor loading of the intended location should be confirmed before ordering. If installed outdoors, a weather-resistant roof cover is available separately and should be considered depending on exposure. Internal racking and shelving are not included and are sold separately — it is worth planning your shelving layout before installation so fixings can be positioned appropriately.

This cold room is well suited to small-to-medium catering operations: restaurants, hotel kitchens, care homes, school catering facilities, and similar environments where bulk chilled storage is needed but space is limited. At 1.2 x 1.5 metres it provides a practical entry point into walk-in cold storage. Sites with higher throughput, larger prep teams, or significant bulk delivery schedules may find a larger footprint more appropriate for their needs.

Because this product is special-to-order and non-returnable, it is worth taking time to confirm it is the right fit for your operation before proceeding. If you would like to talk through your storage requirements, installation conditions, or whether this size suits your service volumes, the team is happy to help you work through it.
