Polar U-Series 2.1 x 1.8m Integral Walk-In Cold Room Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral chiller unit — meaning the refrigeration components are built into the structure itself, with no remote condenser or external ducting required. This 2.1 x 1.8 metre model offers substantial chilled storage capacity and is supplied in olive green, making it a practical choice where colour-coded storage areas are part of kitchen management or allergen segregation protocols.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent temperature maintenance is critical. The forced-air cooling system is designed to hold stable conditions even when the unit is accessed frequently during service, and it has been rated to operate reliably in ambient temperatures up to 43°C — relevant for kitchens where the surrounding environment can become warm during peak cooking periods. The R449A refrigerant used is a lower-GWP option, which is increasingly relevant for operators with sustainability reporting requirements.

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

• Integral design removes the complexity of split-system installation and ongoing condenser maintenance
• Dovetail panel jointing and a fully rebated lockable door help maintain temperature integrity and reduce energy consumption
• Moisture management within the design helps control internal humidity, which supports food quality and shelf life
• The olive green finish allows colour-coded storage separation where kitchen protocols require it

This unit is supplied with a site survey, professional installation, and set-up as standard — it is not a self-install product. Access to the installation location needs to accommodate the assembled footprint; the unit weighs 435kg and will require appropriate floor loading and handling consideration. If installed in an outdoor or semi-exposed position, a weather-resistant roof is available separately. Internal racking and shelving are sold separately and should be factored into your planning. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable, so it is worth confirming your space requirements and intended use before placing an order. Available to mainland UK locations only.

This model is well suited to mid-sized catering operations — restaurants, hotels, pub kitchens, and contract catering sites — where a dedicated, accessible chilled storage area is needed without the infrastructure demands of a remote-condenser system. For higher-volume operations with greater throughput or more frequent access patterns, a larger-footprint model from the range may be a better fit; equally, smaller sites may find a more compact configuration sufficient.

If you are unsure whether this size and specification is right for your kitchen layout, throughput, or ambient conditions, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
