A Guide to Cold Room Panels – How We Insulate Our Cold Rooms

Cold rooms, or temperature-controlled environments, are built out of insulated cold room panels. Also known as walk-in refrigeration units, these rooms are indispensable for many businesses. Restaurants, food factories, breweries and laboratories all have a particular need for these.

The cold air temperature in a cold room is normally between -2 °C and 10 °C. They can go as low as -50 to -80 °C for ultra-cold storage freezers.

This controlled environment ensures the freshness and quality of perishable items such as fruits, vegetables, meats, pharmaceuticals, and more.

If you want to know the best way to insulate a cold room, then this article is for you.

Many factors contribute to maintaining temperature control in a cold room. Choosing the correct type of insulated panels for the room is essential to prevent heat build-up. In addition, considering the right flooring, doors, fittings, and ceilings play crucial roles.

Crafting Cold Room Environments with Insulated Panels

Insulated panels are critical in maintaining a specific temperature. They prevent air leaks or warm air from infiltrating your cold room. Effective insulation optimises energy efficiency, reducing your energy bills.

These panels consist of a core layer between two structural boards, offering strength, durability, and high thermal efficiency.

The different insulation materials include Expanded Polystyrene, Neopor, Polyurethane, or Compressed Straw Core. Each panel type provides optimal performance for a specific application.

Some things to consider regarding insulated panels include:

  • The thickness of the panels —generally, the thicker the insulation layer, the more well-insulated.
  • The structural integrity of the panels can be important for specific applications.
  • Correct sealing of the panels is crucial to prevent air leakage and control bacteria and dust in the environment.
  • Hygienic qualities
