Elements of Turnkey Cold Room Projects – Cold Room Flooring & Ancillaries
The process of designing a bespoke cold room can be complex, or it can be made easy – at MTCSS we have the knowledge and expertise to work alongside you to ensure the process is simple and understandable.
MTCSS can design and build every element of your temperature-controlled solution, whether that is a walk-in chiller, walk-in freezer, or an ambient room. We work closely with you to understand your business’ requirements and its day-to-day processes – with the aim of designing the perfect temperature-controlled solution for you.
Part of that cold room or temperature-controlled room is the flooring. The flooring is a vital element to ensure your walk-in cold room, or ambient area, is fit for purpose and will function optimally.
Some cold rooms don’t require us to install a floor (for example chiller cold rooms built on a ground floor may not need an insulated floor if it is being built on a flat surface). In comparison, freezer cold rooms would require an appropriate floor to ensure there is no ice build-up which could pose a health and safety issue.
MTCSS understand that different walk-in cold storage systems will have different purposes and uses – which is why we want to understand the type of access required to select the best floor for your temperature-controlled area. So what types of floors are available and when would you use them?
Insulated Cold Room Floors
Insulated floors are used in chillers and freezer cold rooms to prevent ice build-up and to provide optimal insulation properties. They are also used in the event the floor that the cold room is being built on, is not flat, so this provides a flat, safe surface within the cold room. These tend to be used in walk-in cold rooms which predominantly have pedestrian traffic.
Altro Floor
Altro flooring is ideal for small to large capacity cold rooms which need to be washed out frequently using water, chemicals or detergents, and rooms. This makes Altro flooring an ideal option for farms, dairies, abattoirs, butchers’ shops, food storage and processing facilities.
Resin Floor
Resin flooring is also ideal for rooms which require frequent cleaning, but its heavy-duty properties make it the perfect solution for medium to large temperature-controlled rooms which have trolley or vehicle traffic. Resin flooring is often used in rooms which have a water source or in rooms which store liquid products.
Granolithic Screed Floor
Granolithic flooring is the perfect solution where rooms need to store heavy loads and require forklift and / or pallet access. The heavy-duty flooring is ideal for medium to large capacity temperature-controlled rooms.
The MTCSS team can talk you through these options and discuss which would benefit your business and its processes most effectively.
Cold room ancillaries also enhance the functioning of your cold room, maybe you require a shelving or racking solution to improve your chiller, freezer, or ambient areas storage capabilities? Or perhaps you would like to keep cold room and door spares in stock to ensure your cold room is fully functioning 24/7.
MTCSS can take care of every aspect of your temperature-controlled room design and build, from the cold room and doors to refrigeration, lighting, and flooring. Our dedicated team will talk through the best options for you, your business, and your budget.
