Polar U-Series 1.5 x 1.8m Integral Walk-In Cold Room Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral chilled storage unit, meaning the refrigeration system is entirely self-contained within the structure itself. There is no requirement for remote condensers or external ducting, which simplifies both the installation process and the ongoing maintenance picture considerably. This particular model is finished in olive green and is supplied and installed as a complete package — the price includes a site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning.

In operational terms, the U-Series is built to perform in demanding environments. The forced-air refrigeration system maintains stable chilled temperatures even when kitchen ambient temperatures reach elevated levels, which makes it reliable through busy summer service periods as well as in kitchens where background heat builds up throughout the day. The dovetail panel joining system and fully rebated lockable door help retain internal temperature when the room is accessed frequently — an important consideration in kitchens where the cold room is used continuously during service.

The practical advantages of this unit for day-to-day kitchen operation include:

• Integral design eliminates remote plant room requirements and reduces installation complexity
• Lockable door with rebated seal supports temperature retention and food safety compliance
• Moisture management built into the design helps reduce humidity inside the room
• Refrigerant R449A supports lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerant types
• Galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic construction suited to heavy commercial use

Installation requires a level floor capable of supporting the unit's loaded weight, adequate electrical supply, and sufficient clearance for the door to open fully and for air to circulate around the condenser. The unit is intended for indoor installation; if siting outside is required, a weather-resistant roof cover is available separately. Racking and shelving are not included and will need to be specified and ordered separately. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable once commissioned. Supply and installation are available to mainland UK locations only — a site survey is conducted prior to installation to confirm suitability.

This size of cold room is well suited to small restaurants, cafés, delis, and catering operations with moderate chilled storage requirements. It works particularly well where a dedicated walk-in is needed but kitchen footprint is limited. For higher-volume operations or sites requiring greater storage capacity, larger configurations within the U-Series range are available. Equally, smaller operators with lighter storage needs may find a more compact solution better suited to their throughput.

If you're unsure whether this footprint is right for your operation, or if you have specific questions about installation at your site, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
