Polar U-Series 2.1 x 2.1m Integral Walk-In Cold Room – Brown

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral, standalone refrigerated storage unit — meaning the refrigeration system is built into the structure itself, with no remote condenser or external ducting required. This 2.1 x 2.1 metre model provides a gross capacity of 7,677 litres and is finished in Van Dyke Brown, making it a practical choice where a neutral or site-matched external appearance matters. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

In demanding kitchen environments, temperature stability is critical. The U-Series is engineered to maintain accurate, consistent cooling even when ambient temperatures reach 43°C — a common challenge in busy production kitchens during summer service. Forced air cooling reduces internal humidity, which helps protect produce quality and reduces the rate of spoilage during heavy-use periods. The 80mm insulated wall panels with a dovetail joining system contribute to thermal efficiency and structural rigidity over long-term use.

From an operational standpoint, the design addresses a number of day-to-day practicalities:

• Self-closing door seals flush within the panels, reducing cold air loss during high-traffic access
• Integral refrigeration removes the need for a separate plant room or external condenser space
• R449A refrigerant supports compliance with current environmental regulations
• Robust galvanised steel, aluminium and plastic construction stands up to the rigours of daily commercial use
• Suitable for outdoor siting where indoor footprint is limited

The price includes a site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning — all carried out by Polar's approved installation team. This is a special-to-order product and is non-returnable once ordered. Installation is available to mainland UK locations only. If siting the unit outdoors, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately and should be considered. Internal racking and shelving are not included and must be ordered separately. The unit weighs 450kg, so floor loading and access routes should be assessed prior to ordering — this is part of what the site survey covers.

This model is well suited to mid-to-large independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, school catering operations, and food production facilities that require reliable bulk chilled storage. At 2.1 x 2.1 metres it offers a substantial footprint; sites with more modest storage demands may find a smaller configuration more appropriate, while higher-volume operations such as large-scale catering or distribution may benefit from a larger unit.

If you are weighing up whether this size is right for your site, or have questions about outdoor installation or floor preparation, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to ordering.
