Polar U-Series 1.8 x 1.5m Integral Walk-In Cold Room – Green

The Polar U-Series walk-in cold room is a fully integral refrigerated storage unit — meaning the refrigeration system is built into the room itself, with no need for remote condensers, external pipework, or ducting runs. This makes it a practical choice for sites where a separate plant room is not available or where installation complexity needs to be kept to a minimum. The unit arrives in Olive Green and is built from galvanised steel, aluminium, and plastic panels.

In a working kitchen environment, consistent temperature holding matters more than the headline figure. This unit is rated to maintain its chilled storage range even when ambient temperatures reach 43°C, which is a realistic concern in busy kitchen spaces during peak summer service. Forced air cooling circulates throughout the interior to prevent warm spots and supports reliable food safety across the full storage area — important when the room is opened and closed frequently through a service period.

The practical advantages of this unit are worth considering in operational terms:

• Integral design removes the need for remote refrigeration infrastructure
• Dovetail panel joining and fully rebated door construction help retain cold temperatures efficiently
• Lockable door supports HACCP compliance and stock security
• Moisture management in the design helps reduce humidity build-up inside the room
• R449A refrigerant reflects current environmental standards for commercial refrigeration

Installation is included in the price and covers site survey, delivery, and professional set-up — available to mainland UK locations. The unit is heavy at 375kg, so floor loading and access routes should be assessed beforehand. If the room is being installed in an outdoor or semi-exposed location, a weather-resistant roof section is available separately and should be considered. This product is special-to-order and non-returnable, so it is worth confirming all site requirements before ordering. Internal racking and shelving are sold separately.

This size of cold room is well suited to small to medium-sized commercial kitchens — pub kitchens, small hotel operations, independent restaurants, and similar sites where a walk-in is preferable to multiple upright units but overall throughput does not yet demand a larger footprint. Sites with significantly higher stock volumes or more frequent access requirements may be better served by a larger-format unit from the same range.
