Polar U-Series 2.1 x 1.5m Integral Walk-In Cold Room White

The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained refrigerated storage unit supplied with professional delivery, site survey, installation, and commissioning as standard. At 2.1 metres wide by 1.5 metres deep, it provides a substantial chilled storage footprint suitable for kitchens needing to hold significant volumes of fresh produce, dairy, or prepared goods. The unit is built from galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic panelling and is designed for indoor installation, with the option to site it outdoors where a weather-resistant roof is added.

In busy commercial kitchen environments, the forced-air refrigeration system maintains a stable internal temperature even when the surrounding ambient temperature reaches 43°C — a meaningful consideration for kitchens that experience high heat from cooking equipment or summer conditions. Recovery after frequent door openings is handled well, which is important in high-throughput operations where staff are accessing chilled stock regularly throughout service. The refrigerant charge uses R449A, a lower global warming potential alternative aligned with current industry direction.

From an operational standpoint, the design includes several details that matter in a working kitchen:

• Fully rebated lockable door closes flush with the wall panels, improving temperature retention and reducing forced-entry risk
• Smooth internal surfaces support straightforward cleaning and compliance with food hygiene standards
• Integral refrigeration unit removes the need for separate remote condensing equipment or plant room space
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor siting, giving flexibility on placement within the site
• Supplied with site survey and professional installation, reducing commissioning risk

Because this is a special-to-order product, it is non-returnable once ordered. Before committing, it is worth confirming the delivery route and access dimensions, as the assembled unit is substantial and the installation team will need adequate clearance. The unit is available to mainland UK locations only. Racking and shelving are not included and will need to be specified separately based on how the space will be used.

This cold room suits mid-to-large independent kitchens, hotel operations, care homes, schools, and similar sites with consistent bulk chilled storage requirements. It is not aimed at very small operations where a single upright refrigerator would suffice, and for very high-volume sites — such as central production units or large event catering facilities — a larger footprint model may be worth considering.

If you are weighing up the right size or configuration for your site, or have questions about floor preparation and electrical supply requirements ahead of installation, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you place an order.
