Types of Cold Rooms

Modular Cold Rooms
Modular cold rooms are small to medium capacity cold rooms supplied with cam-lock panel systems for easy on site construction. The panels used to construct the floor, walls, and ceiling of modular cold rooms is of a standard size, which is easily locked together, allowing different configurations of cold rooms that are constructed. This saves the customers the cost of custom built rooms.

Both chiller and freezer cold rooms can be internally or externally built – we will work to your requirements. Worried about the safety of your cold room? We can add locks to add security to your custom chiller or freezer cold room so that you can rest assured knowing your products are safe.

We can even install both a walk-in chiller AND freezer if you require – our dual compartment rooms can help you save on both space and money!

Internal and External Cold Rooms
Your cold room can be built either inside, to maximise the space you have available or outside, if you don’t have enough space internally.

The MTCSS Contracts team can utilise the shapes and sizes of your existing buildings, and work within those requirements for your internal bespoke cold room.

Similarly, our team can design your external cold room with weatherproof roofing and panels to ensure the longevity of your cold room and products, despite being outside!

Tips on Selecting a Perfect Cold Room

• Know the type of cold room you want

With a variety of brands and models of cold rooms in the market, it is important to know what you are looking for. You could base your choice on the size or shape of the cold room whether you want a cold room with a motor or just a standalone cold room.

• Know the amount of space you have for the cold room?

Before purchasing a cold room for your organisation, you need to check the total space available for the new appliance. Otherwise, you might get stuck with the appliance.

• What cold room storage do you need?

Is the cold room for keeping goods in bulk or do you just have a few goods at a time? This will allow you to make your purchase decision in regard to the size of the appliance.

• Energy efficient cold room

What is the energy rating of the cold room model you want to purchase? Does it have high energy ratings or is it going to bog you down with high energy bills? The answers to those questions will help you make your choice.

• What significant features of the cold room

The features should meet your business’ exact storage requirements. The thermostat of the facility should be adjustable and it should have an auto defrost function. The fixtures and shelves should also be as per the organisation’s requirement. Furthermore, most organisations require movable shelves since they are easy to clean and handy for storage of small items.

Customising Your Cold Room

Your new custom cold room can be designed with you in mind; if you want it to maximise the day-to-day running of your business then that’s exactly how we can design it for you.

Cold room doors, cold room flooring and refrigeration units can all be tailored to your requirements. However, your customisations are dependent on a few factors:

1. The size – Overall size of your cold room, cold room panel length and thickness etc..
2. What’s being stored – Whether it’s dried fruits or fresh dairy from your farm, ensuring your cold room refrigeration suits the products you store is important.
3. Access requirements – Your cold room door type, size and opening systems should be considered here.
4. Refrigeration requirements – Do you require your products to be at a specific consistent temperature? Chilled, frozen or ambient? Do you need back up refrigeration?
