£5,207.00(£6,248.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully self-contained chilled storage unit supplied in an olive green finish. As an integral design, the refrigeration system is built into the room itself — there is no requirement for remote condensers, separate plant rooms, or ducting runs. That makes it a practical choice for operations where space, budget, or building access would make a remote refrigeration system difficult to manage.
The unit holds temperature reliably within a chilled range even when the surrounding ambient temperature is high, which is a relevant consideration for kitchen environments that can become warm during service. The forced-air cooling system circulates air evenly through the interior, helping to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the stored load rather than only near the evaporator. The panel construction uses a dovetail joining system with a fully rebated, lockable door, which contributes to thermal efficiency and helps prevent condensation ingress.
From an operational standpoint, the self-contained format offers several practical advantages:
- No remote plant room or roof-mounted condenser required, simplifying installation considerably
- Lockable door supports stock security and portion control in busy kitchens
- Moisture management built into the design helps reduce internal humidity and surface condensation
- Forced-air circulation supports even temperature distribution across the stored load
- R449A refrigerant is a lower-GWP option aligned with current commercial refrigeration standards
Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, professional fit-out, and commissioning. This is a mainland UK service only. The unit is built to order in the specified colour, which means it is non-returnable once ordered — it is worth confirming the site dimensions, floor condition, and access route before placing an order. If the unit is to be installed in an exposed outdoor location, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately. Shelving and racking are also sold separately and should be planned as part of the overall setup.
A footprint of 1.2 x 1.5 metres suits smaller to mid-sized operations — think independent restaurants, cafés with significant fresh stock, pub kitchens, or small contract catering units. For sites with higher throughput or more frequent access demands, a larger-footprint model may be worth considering instead. Similarly, if the available floor area is very limited, it is worth reviewing whether the door swing and clear access around the unit will work practically in the proposed location.
If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your site, or if you have questions about the installation requirements for your building, the team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.
£6,263.00(£7,515.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully self-contained refrigerated storage unit built for commercial kitchens that require serious bulk chilled storage in a reliable, standalone format. Unlike modular systems that rely on remote condensers or external ducting, this unit houses all refrigeration components within the structure itself, simplifying both installation and long-term servicing. The Van Dyke Brown exterior finish makes it a practical choice for sites where the unit will be positioned in a visible or semi-public area.
In operational terms, the integral refrigeration system is well suited to kitchens with high ambient temperatures — the unit is rated to maintain its chilled temperature range in ambient conditions up to 43°C, which is a meaningful advantage in busy production kitchens where heat from cooking equipment can significantly affect the performance of lesser refrigeration. Forced-air cooling promotes even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet, helping to protect temperature-sensitive produce during frequent door openings across a full service shift.
The practical advantages that matter most in a working kitchen environment include:
- Integral design removes the need for remote condensers or additional plant room space
- 80mm insulated wall panels with a dovetail joining system support thermal efficiency
- Self-closing door sits flush within the panel line, reducing accidental temperature loss
- R449A refrigerant is a lower-GWP option aligned with current commercial refrigeration standards
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, with an optional weatherproof roof available separately
Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, and professional set-up — available to mainland UK locations. The unit weighs 435kg, so access routes, floor loading, and final positioning should be considered early in the planning process. The 6490-litre gross capacity makes this a substantial unit; ensure the intended space allows for door clearance and adequate airflow around the structure. Racking and shelving are sold separately, and it is worth planning your internal storage layout before installation day. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable once ordered.
This size of cold room is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and food production operations that require centralised bulk chilled storage without the complexity of a remote refrigeration system. For sites with significantly higher throughput or larger storage demands, larger-footprint options within the U-Series range are available. Conversely, operators with more modest storage needs may find a smaller walk-in or a bank of upright refrigerators more proportionate.
If you are weighing up the right cold room size for your operation, or have questions about installation logistics for your specific site, our team is happy to work through the details with you before you place an order.
£5,207.00(£6,248.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral chiller unit designed for commercial kitchen environments where reliable bulk cold storage is a daily operational requirement. Built from galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic panels, it arrives as a complete modular system and is supplied with professional site survey, delivery, installation, and commissioning included in the price — available to mainland UK locations only.
The refrigeration system is engineered to maintain a stable temperature between 2°C and 5°C even when the ambient environment reaches as high as 43°C, which makes it a practical option for kitchens that run hot during service or for sites where the unit is installed in a yard or outbuilding. Forced air circulation helps keep temperatures consistent throughout the storage space rather than allowing warm spots to develop near the door — an important consideration when storing high-value produce over extended periods.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:
- Fully rebated lockable door that closes flush against the panels, improving both security and temperature retention
- Internal surfaces designed for straightforward cleaning without difficult corners or exposed fixings to work around
- R449A refrigerant, a lower-GWP option that supports compliance with current environmental regulations
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, giving flexibility on siting within a busy premises
- No remote condensing unit required — the integral design keeps installation simpler and the plant contained
At 1.5m wide and 1.2m deep, this unit suits smaller to mid-sized operations — a busy café, a pub kitchen, or a catering prep facility where ambient fridges no longer provide sufficient capacity. It is not designed to replace walk-in rooms serving high-throughput central production kitchens; for those environments, larger-footprint options within the range would be worth considering. The 350kg unit weight means floor loading and access route should be assessed before installation, particularly in older buildings or basements. If sited outside, a weather-resistant roof is available separately and is strongly recommended. Racking and shelving are sold separately and should be planned prior to installation.
This is a special-to-order product and is non-returnable once manufactured, so it is worth taking the time to confirm the specification is right for your site before placing an order. If you would like to talk through the siting options, whether indoor or outdoor installation is more appropriate, or how this footprint compares to other available sizes, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£5,207.00(£6,248.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully self-contained refrigerated storage unit supplied in Van Dyke Brown. Unlike modular systems that rely on remote condensers or external ducting, this is an integral unit — the refrigeration components are built in, which simplifies installation and reduces the number of external service connections required. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor placement, making it a practical option when internal kitchen space is constrained.
The refrigeration system is designed to maintain stable temperatures even when ambient conditions reach 43°C, which is relevant in hot kitchen environments or in outdoor locations during summer months. The 80mm insulated wall panels use a dovetail joining system that improves thermal efficiency and helps the unit hold temperature consistently during frequent access. The self-closing door sits flush within the panel frame, which contributes both to energy retention and to the security of the stored stock.
From an operational standpoint, this cold room offers several practical advantages for busy kitchen environments:
- Accurate cooling control reduces internal humidity, helping to preserve food quality and reduce waste
- Forced air circulation maintains even temperatures throughout the storage space
- Self-closing door limits temperature recovery time after access
- Integral refrigeration eliminates the need for remote condenser installation
- R449A refrigerant supports compliance with current environmental regulations
This unit is a special-to-order product and is supplied with site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning included in the price. It is available to mainland UK locations only. Installation outside will likely require a weather-resistant roof, which is available separately. Racking and shelving are not included and are sold separately — this is worth factoring into the total project budget before ordering. Given the size and weight of the unit, access routes and floor loading should be assessed as part of the pre-installation survey.
With a gross capacity of 2843 litres, this cold room is well suited to small restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a dedicated walk-in chiller is needed but space is limited. It is not designed for high-volume sites requiring substantial bulk storage or multi-section cold rooms — for those applications, larger capacity alternatives exist within the range.
If you are unsure whether this footprint will meet your operational needs, or have questions about site suitability, our team is happy to talk through the specifics before you commit to an order.
£6,263.00(£7,515.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage unit designed for commercial kitchens that need a significant volume of accessible refrigerated space without commissioning a fully bespoke cold room build. Constructed from galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic panels, it arrives as a panel-built system that assembles on-site to create a walk-in chiller with a gross capacity of 6,490 litres — suitable for high-volume food storage across a range of catering operations.
Inside a busy kitchen, this unit earns its place through consistent performance. Forced-air cooling maintains even temperatures throughout the interior, which matters when staff are moving in and out repeatedly during a service. The refrigeration system is rated to operate reliably in ambient conditions up to 43°C, making it practical for kitchen environments where background heat from cooking equipment is unavoidable. Recovery after door openings is prompt, helping to protect the cold chain during peak periods.
From an operational standpoint, several design decisions reduce the day-to-day burden on kitchen teams:
- Self-closing door seals flush to the wall, supporting energy efficiency and reducing temperature drift
- Lockable door with an internal safety release prevents accidental lock-ins
- Non-slip floor surface reduces slip risk in a working cold room environment
- Coved internal floor-to-wall junctions limit dirt accumulation and simplify cleaning
- R449A refrigerant offers a lower global warming potential than older refrigerants
Installation requires a level, load-bearing floor capable of supporting the assembled unit's weight, a suitable electrical supply for the integral refrigeration unit, and adequate clearance for the door swing and condenser airflow. The standard configuration is intended for indoor installation; if outdoor placement is planned, a weatherproof roof panel is available separately but is not included as standard. Internal racking and shelving are also not supplied and will need to be sourced separately based on your storage layout. The footprint suits a medium-to-large kitchen with a dedicated storage area — it is not a unit for tight or awkward spaces.
This cold room suits restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, event catering operations, and similar sites with consistent high-volume storage demands. For smaller operations with more modest throughput, a compact reach-in or undercounter refrigeration solution may be more appropriate and more economical to run. For very large sites or multi-temperature storage, a heavier-duty or larger-footprint cold room option may serve better.
If you are working through kitchen layout or want to confirm this unit fits your space, power supply, and storage requirements before ordering, the team is happy to work through the details with you.
£5,207.00(£6,248.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage unit built for commercial kitchen environments where consistent temperature control and reliable capacity are non-negotiable. It arrives as a complete, panelled room ready for installation, with the refrigeration system integrated into the unit itself — no separate remote condensing equipment to source or commission. The construction uses galvanised steel, aluminium and plastic panels, giving a practical and durable internal and external finish.
In service conditions, forced-air cooling circulates refrigerated air throughout the interior, helping maintain even temperatures across the full storage area. This is particularly important in kitchens with frequent access — the system is rated to cope with ambient temperatures reaching 43°C, which makes it a viable option for kitchens where the surrounding environment can become warm during service. Recovery after door opening is consistent, which matters when your prep team are moving in and out throughout the day.
From an operational standpoint, several design details make a practical difference in day-to-day use:
- Self-closing door improves energy efficiency and reduces accidental temperature drift
- Lockable door with inner safety release prevents accidental lock-in
- Non-slip floor surface reduces slip hazard in a cold, potentially wet environment
- Curved floor-to-wall junctions reduce dirt and moisture traps, making cleaning more straightforward
- R449A refrigerant used as a lower global-warming-potential alternative to older refrigerants
Installation requires a level, solid floor capable of supporting the assembled unit's substantial weight. Mains electrical connection is required for the integral refrigeration system — your installer will confirm the supply specification needed. If you are planning an outdoor installation, a weather-resistant roof panel should be considered as an additional purchase, as the standard unit is not designed for direct exposure to the elements. Racking and shelving are sold separately, so factor these into your planning and budget from the outset.
This cold room is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub catering operations and similar mid-scale sites that need a meaningful step up from upright refrigerators but are not yet at the scale requiring a full remote-system cold room installation. For sites with higher throughput, greater access frequency or more demanding ambient conditions, it is worth considering a larger or higher-specification model from the range.
If you are unsure whether this footprint and capacity will work for your kitchen layout and storage requirements, we are happy to talk it through — getting the sizing right at this stage avoids a costly mistake later.
£6,263.00(£7,515.60 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a self-contained chiller unit designed for commercial food storage. Unlike modular systems that require remote condensing units or external ducting, this is a fully integral installation — the refrigeration components are built into the room itself. That makes it considerably simpler to commission and relocate if your site layout changes. It is supplied in a Van Dyke Brown finish and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor positioning.
In operational terms, the integral refrigeration system is rated to maintain correct chill temperatures even when the surrounding ambient temperature reaches 43°C — a practical consideration for sites where the cold room is adjacent to a busy hot kitchen or installed in an outdoor position during warmer months. Forced air cooling helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout the storage space rather than relying on passive circulation, which matters when the door is opened frequently during service.
The construction choices here translate into meaningful day-to-day advantages for kitchen operators:
- 80mm insulated wall panels with a dovetail joining system reduce thermal bridging and support cooling efficiency
- The self-closing door sits flush within the panel face, making it more resistant to accidental damage and improving the seal during busy service
- Integral refrigeration eliminates the need for plant room space or overhead ductwork runs
- Reduced internal humidity helps protect produce quality and limits frost build-up on stored goods
- The brown exterior finish suits sites where aesthetics matter — outdoor events facilities, farm shops, and similar environments
This unit requires a single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance around the exterior for the integral condensing components to ventilate effectively. It is supplied with site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning included — mainland UK only. As a special-to-order product it is non-returnable once ordered, so it is worth confirming the specification before proceeding. Racking and shelving are sold separately. If the unit is to be installed outdoors, a weather-resistant roof panel is available as an additional accessory. At 435kg installed weight, access routes and flooring load capacity should be confirmed at survey stage.
This size is well suited to small restaurants, cafés, pub kitchens, and catering operations with moderate daily throughput. At 6490 litres gross capacity it sits in the mid-range of the walk-in cold room category — suitable where a standard under-counter or reach-in fridge has been outgrown, but where a larger multi-panel modular room would be more space than the operation requires. For higher-volume sites with more demanding throughput, a larger capacity unit within the range may be more appropriate.
Walk-in cold rooms are a significant investment and the specification decisions — size, position, access, floor load, electrical supply — are worth talking through before you commit. If you would like to discuss whether this unit is the right fit for your site, our team is happy to help you work through the details.
£5,207.00(£6,248.40 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage solution designed for commercial food service operations. Unlike modular cold rooms that require a separate remote refrigeration unit, this model houses all refrigeration components within the structure itself, making site requirements more straightforward and the overall footprint more predictable. It holds a chilling temperature between 2°C and 5°C, making it appropriate for general fresh produce, dairy, and prepared food storage.
In a busy kitchen environment, a walk-in cold room changes how a team works. The accessible floor space allows organised bulk storage with clear stock rotation, reducing the time staff spend searching through upright cabinets during service. The refrigeration system is rated to maintain temperature even when ambient conditions reach 43°C, which matters in kitchens where the surrounding environment can warm significantly during a full service. Forced air circulation helps hold consistent temperatures throughout the interior rather than relying on passive cold air distribution.
From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:
- Rebated lockable door closes flush to the wall panel, improving both security and temperature retention
- Smooth internal surfaces support straightforward cleaning and compliance with hygiene standards
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, giving flexibility on kitchen layout
- Integral design removes the need for a separate machine room or remote condenser unit
- Uses R449A refrigerant, a lower global warming potential alternative to older refrigerants
Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, and professional set-up. This is available to mainland UK locations only. The unit weighs 350kg, so the floor loading of the intended location should be confirmed before ordering. If installed outdoors, a weather-resistant roof cover is available separately and should be considered depending on exposure. Internal racking and shelving are not included and are sold separately — it is worth planning your shelving layout before installation so fixings can be positioned appropriately.
This cold room is well suited to small-to-medium catering operations: restaurants, hotel kitchens, care homes, school catering facilities, and similar environments where bulk chilled storage is needed but space is limited. At 1.2 x 1.5 metres it provides a practical entry point into walk-in cold storage. Sites with higher throughput, larger prep teams, or significant bulk delivery schedules may find a larger footprint more appropriate for their needs.
Because this product is special-to-order and non-returnable, it is worth taking time to confirm it is the right fit for your operation before proceeding. If you would like to talk through your storage requirements, installation conditions, or whether this size suits your service volumes, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£6,061.00(£7,273.20 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage unit supplied as a complete, pre-panelled assembly ready for installation on-site. It is designed to provide high-volume refrigerated storage where a standard upright refrigerator or under-counter unit simply cannot meet the demand — particularly in kitchens that receive regular deliveries of fresh produce, dairy, or prepared ingredients and need a single, accessible, walk-in storage point.
In busy service environments, consistent temperature maintenance is critical. This unit uses forced-air cooling that keeps the internal temperature stable even when the door is opened frequently throughout a shift, and the system is rated to operate reliably in ambient conditions up to 43°C — relevant for kitchens where summer heat or proximity to cooking lines puts refrigeration units under greater strain. The galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic construction is well suited to the kind of daily wear a working cold room receives.
From a practical standpoint, several design details make day-to-day operation easier:
- Self-closing door seals flush against the panels, reducing cold air loss during busy service
- Door lock with internal safety release prevents accidental lock-ins — an important compliance consideration
- Non-slip floor surface reduces slip risk during loading and unloading
- Curved floor-to-wall junctions limit dirt accumulation and simplify deep cleaning
- R449A refrigerant with lower global warming potential compared to older refrigerants
Installation requires adequate floor space for the footprint plus door swing clearance, and the unit's weight means the floor must be capable of bearing a substantial load — this is worth confirming at the planning stage. The cold room is available in a grey finish and can be installed indoors. For outdoor installation, a weather-resistant roof section is available separately and should be considered as part of the specification. Racking and shelving are not included and must be ordered in addition to the unit itself.
This model is well suited to mid-sized catering operations — pub kitchens, independent restaurants, hotel banqueting, school catering, and similar sites where bulk chilled storage is needed but space is limited. For higher-volume sites or larger operations requiring greater capacity, heavier-duty or larger-footprint options are available. Equally, smaller premises that do not need walk-in storage may find a more compact refrigeration solution more practical.
If you're unsure whether this footprint will meet your throughput requirements, or if you have questions about installation, flooring, or how to specify the racking — the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£5,969.00(£7,162.80 inc VAT)
The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a self-contained chiller unit designed for commercial kitchens and food storage environments that require reliable, high-capacity refrigeration. At 1.8 x 1.8 metres, it provides just over 5,400 litres of usable storage space and operates as a fully integral unit — meaning the refrigeration system is built in, with no need for remote condensers or external ducting. The Van Dyke Brown exterior finish makes it a practical option where the unit will be visible within a kitchen or storage area.
In busy service environments, consistent temperature maintenance is critical. This unit is rated to hold its operating range in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, which gives it genuine suitability for hot kitchen conditions where lesser units can struggle during peak periods. The forced-air cooling system keeps internal humidity low, which helps protect produce quality and reduces the risk of temperature variation when the door is opened frequently throughout the day. The 80mm insulated panels with a dovetail joining system contribute to thermal efficiency and help maintain stable internal conditions.
From an operational standpoint, this cold room offers several practical advantages over reach-in refrigeration for sites with significant storage requirements:
- Self-closing door with flush panel fit improves security and reduces cold loss
- Integral refrigeration removes the cost and complexity of a remote condenser installation
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor positioning, providing flexible siting options
- Low internal humidity supports better produce preservation over extended storage periods
- R449A refrigerant offers a lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants
This is a special-to-order product and comes with site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning included — available to mainland UK locations. It is not suitable for return once ordered, so confirming the specification before purchase is important. If siting outdoors, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately and should be considered. Racking and shelving are not included. The unit weighs 400kg, so floor loading and access route should be assessed during the pre-installation survey. A standard single-phase power supply is required; your installer will confirm the exact supply requirements at survey stage.
This cold room is well suited to mid-sized catering operations — restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and similar sites — where walk-in storage is needed but a very large multi-room setup would be excessive. Sites with exceptionally high throughput or multi-temperature storage requirements may find a larger or dual-zone configuration more appropriate.
If you're weighing up whether this footprint and capacity is the right fit for your operation, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£3,030.00(£3,636.00 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series cold room in the 2100x2100mm configuration is a self-assembly walk-in refrigeration unit designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable bulk chilled storage without the complexity or cost of a bespoke built-in installation. It provides a substantial usable capacity at temperatures between 0°C and +8°C, making it suitable for storing perishable ingredients, prepped goods, and daily deliveries in a controlled environment.
In a busy kitchen, consistent temperature maintenance is not a minor detail — it directly affects food safety, stock rotation, and wastage. The G-Series uses a forced-air circulation system alongside a hermetically sealed R290 compressor to hold stable temperatures even when the ambient conditions in the surrounding kitchen area are warm. The automatic hot gas defrost and heated drain reduce manual maintenance during service, and the unit is rated to operate in ambient conditions up to 40°C, which makes it practical for kitchens where heat from cooking equipment is unavoidable.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, several design elements translate directly into practical advantages:
- High-density polyurethane insulation panels help reduce energy consumption over the long term
- White galvanised steel panels connect using corrosion-resistant turnbuckles, creating an airtight, cleanable structure
- Embossed anti-slip floor reduces slip risk during busy service periods
- Integrated interior emergency release improves safety for staff working inside
- Replaceable door seals and fast-clean surfaces keep maintenance straightforward
Installation is self-assembly and requires a minimum of two people. The panels are designed to connect without specialist tools, but the process does take time and careful preparation — Polar provide an installation video and full instructions, and it is worth reviewing these before delivery arrives. Consider access routes into your kitchen space and ensure the floor in the intended location is level and capable of supporting the assembled unit under load. A dedicated electrical supply will be required; your installer or electrician should confirm the supply requirements before work begins.
This cold room is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub catering operations, and similar mid-volume catering environments where a standing reach-in or undercounter refrigeration setup is no longer sufficient. It works equally well as a primary chilled store or as a dedicated prep ingredient store alongside larger refrigeration. For very high-throughput operations — large event catering, central production kitchens, or sites with frequent heavy deliveries — a larger or higher-specification cold room may serve better in the long run.
If you are unsure whether this footprint suits your throughput, or have questions about site preparation and electrical requirements before committing, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£2,479.00(£2,974.80 inc VAT)
The Polar G-Series 1500x1500mm is a self-assembly walk-in cold room designed for commercial kitchens that need serious bulk refrigeration without the footprint of a larger installation. It operates as a conventional positive-temperature cold room, maintaining produce safely within the standard chilled range, and is built around a hermetic compressor charged with R290 refrigerant — a naturally occurring gas that carries a lower environmental impact than older synthetic alternatives and is increasingly common in new commercial refrigeration.
In a busy kitchen environment, temperature consistency is as important as raw capacity. The forced-air circulation system ensures cold air is distributed evenly throughout the chamber rather than pooling near the evaporator, which helps protect produce quality across the full depth of the room. High-density polyurethane insulation in the panels supports thermal retention during the door opens that are inevitable during a busy service, and the unit is rated to maintain temperature in ambient conditions that reflect the heat output of a working kitchen environment.
From an operational standpoint, the design includes several features that reduce daily friction:
- Anti-slip embossed floor for safe loading and retrieval under pressure
- Integrated interior release handle as a standard safety provision
- Digital controller for straightforward temperature monitoring
- Automatic hot gas defrost with heated drain to minimise manual intervention
- Replaceable door seals to extend working life without specialist support
Assembly requires a clear, level floor area and a minimum of two people. The panel system uses corrosion-resistant turnbuckles to connect sections and create an airtight seal — the process is well documented, but it is worth reviewing the installation video before beginning and confirming you have the recommended tools to hand. A standard single-phase electrical supply is required. There is no gas or water connection needed, though the heated drain will require access to a suitable drainage point. The 1500x1500mm footprint suits kitchens where space is constrained but a full walk-in facility is operationally necessary — typically small to mid-size independent restaurants, hotel back-of-house areas, or growing catering operations that have outgrown upright cabinets.
This unit is well suited to operations storing bulk ingredients across multiple service periods. For sites handling very high throughput, or where frequent door access during service is unavoidable, a larger-footprint model may provide greater working headroom. Equally, if your requirement is more modest, smaller cold room configurations are available in the range.
If you are weighing up whether this footprint fits your storage workflow, or want to talk through siting and assembly before committing, the team is happy to work through the detail with you.
