The Polar U-Series integral walk-in cold room is a self-contained chilled storage unit designed for commercial operators who need reliable, accessible cold storage beyond the capacity of reach-in refrigeration. The unit arrives as a complete package — panels, refrigeration system, and door — and is installed on-site by Polar's own engineers. The purchase price includes site survey, delivery, professional installation, and commissioning. Available to mainland UK locations only.

In a working kitchen environment, consistent temperature retention is critical. This unit uses forced-air refrigeration to maintain an even chill throughout the interior, and the refrigeration system is rated to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C — making it suitable for kitchens and back-of-house areas that can get warm during busy service. The rebated, lockable door closes flush to the wall panels, which reduces cold-air loss when the room is in regular use and provides a practical level of security for stored produce.

Key operational benefits include:

  • Integral refrigeration — no separate remote condensing unit required
  • Forced-air cooling for consistent temperature distribution across all shelf levels
  • Flush-fitting rebated door that helps retain temperature between openings
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation
  • Smooth internal surfaces designed to support routine cleaning without difficulty

Because the unit is integral rather than remote-condensing, it does not require an external plant room or refrigerant pipework run. It does require a suitable single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance around the condenser for ventilation — your site survey will confirm specific requirements before installation is booked. If the unit is to be installed outdoors, a weather-resistant roof panel is available separately and should be considered. Racking and shelving are sold separately and are not included as standard. This product is special-to-order and cannot be returned once manufactured.

This size of cold room suits small to medium catering operations — busy café kitchens, pub catering, small hotel back-of-house, or event catering facilities — where a walk-in is needed but floor space is limited. It works well as a primary cold store for high-turnover produce or as a dedicated allergen or dietary-specific storage area. For larger operations or higher-volume sites with frequent access requirements throughout the day, a wider or deeper configuration may be more appropriate; equally, smaller footprint options are available if space is the primary constraint.

If you're unsure whether this footprint is right for your site or have questions about installation requirements, the team is happy to talk through your specific situation before you place an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is a site survey required before this cold room is installed?

Yes — a site survey is included in the purchase price and takes place before installation is scheduled. This allows the installation team to confirm floor levelness, electrical supply suitability, clearance for condenser ventilation, and access routes for panel delivery. It's an important step and helps avoid complications on installation day.

Can this cold room be installed outside, and what additional provisions are needed?

The unit is rated for outdoor installation, but a weather-resistant roof panel is recommended for exposed locations and is sold separately. You should also ensure the electrical supply is appropriately rated and weatherproofed for an outdoor installation — your site survey will highlight any specific requirements.

How do I know if this footprint is large enough for my operation?

As a general guide, this 1.5 x 1.8m footprint suits operations storing produce for up to 40–60 covers per service, depending on menu type and delivery frequency. If your kitchen runs multiple services daily, stores a wide range of perishables, or has limited delivery access meaning you hold larger stock volumes, a larger configuration is likely worth considering. It's worth discussing your actual throughput and storage habits before committing, as cold rooms are special-to-order and non-returnable.
