Polar U-Series 2.1 x 2.1m 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 condensing units, external plant rooms, or refrigerant pipework runs to a separate location. Everything needed to operate is built in, which significantly simplifies installation and reduces the number of trades and coordination points involved in getting the room commissioned.

In a busy commercial kitchen, a walk-in cold room of this footprint is typically used as primary bulk chilled storage — handling deliveries, holding prepped ingredients, and supporting continuous service throughout the day. The forced-air cooling system is designed to maintain a stable temperature even in warm ambient conditions, which is an important consideration in kitchens that run hot. The dovetail panel joining system and fully rebated lockable door help maintain thermal integrity and reduce temperature fluctuation when staff are moving in and out frequently during service.

Key operational advantages of this unit include:

• Integral refrigeration — no remote condenser or ducting required on site
• Lockable rebated door helps retain cold and supports stock security
• Moisture is actively drawn away, helping to maintain product quality
• Suitable for ambient kitchen environments up to 43°C
• Uses R449A refrigerant, a lower global warming potential alternative

This is a special-to-order product, supplied in Olive Green and built to the dimensions specified. The price includes a site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning for mainland UK locations. Racking and shelving are not included and will need to be specified separately. If the unit is to be installed outdoors or in a partially exposed location, a weatherproof roof section will be required and is available as a separate item. Given the unit's weight, access routes and floor loading should be considered as part of the site survey conversation.

This size of cold room is well suited to mid-scale restaurants, hotel kitchens, school catering facilities, and similar operations where consistent bulk chilled storage is needed and a self-contained installation is preferable to a remotely refrigerated system. For very high-volume operations — such as large production kitchens or central distribution sites — a larger capacity unit may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations with tighter floor space, a more compact walk-in option may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this configuration suits your site layout, service volume, or installation conditions, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
