What defines a walk-in fridge?
A walk-in fridge is, simply put, a cold room with walk-in access that maintains a positive temperature of between +0 and +8 degrees.
Also known as a chiller cold room, chiller room, or walk-in chiller, these larger-volume cold storage solutions generally come in two cold room constructions, which relate to the way the cold room panels are fitted together and sealed. This includes a bespoke or modular cold room.
But don’t worry about that if you aren’t sure what you need – our expert team is here to help!
Walk-in freezers or freezer rooms, by contrast, maintain negative temperatures and provide frozen storage for sites that need a larger storage capacity for frozen goods.
Walk-in fridges or modular cold rooms are used for a wide range of applications and industries, including:
- Food and drink retail & manufacturing
- Larger catering businesses
- Food preparation
- Fruit and vegetable produce
- Pharmaceutical storage
- Distribution and wholesale
- Commercial settings that have commercial kitchens, including hotels, restaurants, and pubs
- Farm shops and garden centres
- Butchers and bakeries
Plus many more!

TA walk-in fridge is a temperature-controlled room, suitable for temperature ranges between +0 and +8°C that has a range of industry uses depending on your business and the processes you’re trying to achieve.
Whether you’re storing or preparing your products, a walk-in chiller can be used for a range of applications and is available in a selection of sizes with customisable elements depending on your unique refrigeration requirements.
A walk-in fridge is a cold room made from insulated panels that maintains a consistent positive internal temperature between +0 and +8°C, created by the refrigeration system.
The temperature that your walk-in fridge maintains will be bespoke to you and dependent on what you’re storing; however, using reliable and correct components should make maintaining this needed temperature easier and more efficient. The walk-in chiller parts needed to conserve these generated temperatures include cold room panels and cold room doors, which keep the cooled air in and maintain the temperature of your walk-in fridge, too.
Your walk-in fridge must maintain a temperature range between +0 and +8°C for it to be classified as a walk-in fridge. If its temperature doesn’t fall within these parameters, you’re moving towards frozen or ambient temperatures, which could cause product spoilage.
The exact temperature of your walk-in fridge will depend on your specifications and product requirements. You may want to store your fresh poultry at +3°C or pharmaceuticals at +6°C. No matter your requirements, MTCSS has a temperature-controlled system that’s the perfect accompaniment for your cold room or freezer rooms.
There are various ways that you can maintain your walk-in fridges. One of the easiest ways to maintain and prolong the lifespan of your walk-in fridge is through cold room refurbishment and maintenance.
However, you can also maintain your walk-in chiller by ensuring that the temperature range is correct, checking all elements are fully functioning (and if not, replacing these as soon as they occur), and keeping on top of cleaning your walk-in fridge or freezer rooms regularly.
Essentially, you can have a walk-in fridge installed wherever suits you best. However, there are a few anomalies.
The majority of walk-in cold rooms are installed inside, however, if the most ideal place for your walk-in fridge is outside, then we can adhere to these requirements! If your walk-in fridge needs to be external, then there are extra parameters that we would need to factor into your cold room design, such as an external weatherproof roof and different cold room panels.
Likewise, if you require your cold room to be installed on a second floor instead of the ground, then you must factor in that you’ll need a specialist cold room floor type, regardless of whether it’s a walk-in chiller, freezer, or ambient area.
MTCSS can adhere to most sizes and shapes of cold rooms, depending on what you’re looking for. If you require a walk-in fridge that isn’t a typical square or rectangle, MTCSS can design a bespoke walk-in chiller or fridge for you to suit your design!
The size parameters for a walk-in fridge span from 2m by 2m, all the way up to 20m by 20m, however, this isn’t the size limit for walk-in fridges other than your chosen location. This means any business can have the storage space they need, no matter what industry they work in.
You should also note that if you require a large walk-in fridge, you may require ceiling suspension to support this. If you’d like a quotation for a walk-in fridge or would like to discuss your requirements, contact our expert team today!
Yes! A walk-in fridge combined with a walk-in freezer can be achieved through a dual (or multi) compartment room! A dual-compartment room is one cold room unit that is divided into two (or more) compartments by partition walls made from insulated cold room panels.
This partition wall allows for various temperature ranges within each compartment, meaning you could have a walk-in fridge on one side and a walk-in freezer on the other!

Bert De Mooij, Bespoke Chiller Cold Room for Q Flowers Ltd 2021
From coming into contact with MTCSS to the finished product, has been a great and easy process.
The members of the team listened to our wishes and offered us exactly what we needed. From picking the type of cooler machines, the doors, the lights - everything was exactly adjusted to our wishes.
Even though through the COVID period where availability of materials were challenging, the cold room was finished on the date as was planned when signing for the order.
Very professional company from start to finish.
Catherine Hester Fenwick, Ambient storage at Brabourne Wines 2021
‘Brabourne Wine is a small, family run vineyard in Kent. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Conservation Area and with listed buildings, we needed to find a solution to store our wine without building afresh or making any material differences to the current buildings. MTCSS were amazingly flexible. They worked with us to develop a solution that fitted inside one of our outbuildings. Given the limitations on space and the requirement to have racking suitable for pallets, virtually everything about the project had to be bespoke but Darren never lost patience with the endless queries in the planning phase. Once on site, the team was professional, friendly, flexible and quick. They have delivered a solution which is perfect for our needs and exceeds our expectations. We are at the smaller end of their usual customer base, but we were never made to feel as though we were any less important than a major supermarket chain. We would certainly recommend them to anybody needing a controlled climate for storage (or any other reason)’

Dual Compartment Cold Room Installation, London
From the beginning I found Gem’s customer service fantastic, out of all of the companies we spoke to for quotes she was the most responsive and attentive. Even when we were still finalising and it wasn’t confirmed if we were proceeding with MTCSS yet, she was always great with keeping in contact to see if we needed anything, and very responsive with emails, and also phone calls.
Andy and Nathan, have been great throughout the entire process. Both have been on hand for any queries we have had and very responsive again to all forms of communication. Everything has been handled promptly and efficiently both before, during and after the build. Any questions we have had they have always gotten back to us with an answer very quickly.
The gentlemen who completed the install here on site, where very friendly and mindful of business operations while completing work. Each day they would check in with who was here in the morning to explain what they would be doing, what access they required, and asked if and how this might affect our operations or customers. Again, they were very clear and open with communication and was happy to help find solutions when we had issues with the shelving.
Overall our experience with you has been very good and we have been left a happy customer. I would also just like to say a thank you to yourself Gem, Nathan and Andy as you have all been very great throughout our customer journey!
