Chiller cold rooms are used to preserve a wide range of products, from food and drink to pharmaceuticals, but did you know that walk-in chillers can be used to store flowers and plants?
Temperature-controlled rooms that maintain positive temperatures help increase the life span of products – this includes flowers, making them the perfect solution for florists and growers!
MTCSS can design a bespoke chiller cold room to suit your requirements, from size and capacity to shape and temperature, so your floristry can have the perfect cold storage solution for your requirements. But how exactly can a cold room benefit your flower business?
- Flower preservation
Storing flowers in a chiller-cold room at positive temperatures will help improve the flowers’ appearance, keeping them looking fresher for longer. This also helps improve their life span whilst they are stored in the walk-in chiller. Cold rooms help to preserve flowers due to the improved air flow and constant temperature. We can even design a temperature-controlled room with specific humidity percentage if this is something you require.
- Improved storage and display of flowers
A chiller cold room will not only help maintain the required temperatures to preserve flowers, but it also improves the general storage and display of flowers. Cold rooms can be designed with suitable racking and bespoke shelving systems, which makes them perfect to walk customers around to show them the range of your freshest flowers.
- Reduced energy costs compared to other solutions
If your business is currently using a different solution to keep flowers cool, this could prove costly compared to a chiller cold room. For example, if you are using refrigerated vehicles, or air conditioning within a room which is not insulated, this could end up using more energy than a suitable cold storage solution. MTCSS recently installed a chiller cold room for Q Flowers Ltd in Coventry, who told us how his running costs reduced by 50% when he swapped from refrigerated vehicles to a walk-in chiller!

Florists and flower businesses rely on being able to offer the highest quality flowers which have a long lifespan; utilising a chiller cold room is the perfect way to do this.
