Cold Room Panels & Fire Rated Panels for Artisanal Cheesemaker
Cold Room Panel Systems for Cheese Making Facility Expansion
MTCSS are experts when it comes to all things temperature controlled – including panel systems. We offer a range of cold room panelling systems, including insulated cold room panels and fire rated panels – or a combination of both.
An artisanal cheese maker required a range of new cold rooms, consisting of various cold rooms panels, to expand their cheese making processes. MTCSS worked with Optimum Flooring Solutions to design and a build a solution at their site in Somerset.
The team at the cheese making facility were planning for their growth and expansion for the future and the upcoming years – phasing their cold room and ambient room projects to expand their facilities over time.
Their new cold rooms and ambient areas were located outside, under the cover of a roof with exposed sides. Due to the exposure to the elements and attachment to an existing building, the MTCSS team had to design the rooms with cold room panels of varying specifications.
Part one of the project consisted of four main rooms; one dry goods store, one boxing room, one wrapping / packing room, and one brining room.
Cold Room Panels & Fire Rated Panel Systems
Each room had external perimeter walls built from 150mm IPN Kingspan Quadcore cold room panels; the internal walls built from 100mm Eurobond Firemaster panels; and the ceilings built from 100mm IPN Kingspan Quadcore cold room panels.
The 100mm Firemaster panel used to build the internal walls were 60 minute fire rated, offering LPS 1208. This was required for compliance with building regulations, as the cold rooms formed a brand-new building, connected to an existing building.
The existing roof had a vaulted ceiling, so we designed our cold rooms and ambient rooms with 100m IPN panels to follow the vaulted ceiling in order to make the most of the space available. The external walls were also designed with IPN cold room panels, in 150mm thickness – this was to improve fire resistance and to help withstand external conditions. The cold room panels were customised to be RAL grey externally and white internally upon the customer’s request.
Cold Room Flooring
Optimum Flooring Services selected and designed the cold room flooring to suit the bespoke requirements of the customer, and to ensure it was suitable for the range of uses within the cold rooms and ambient rooms.
A resin floor was installed across all compartments within the various rooms – the flooring was selected as it ticked all the requirements of the customer. Resin floor is chemical resistant, impact resistant and slip resistant, as well as easy to clean, ensuring it would withstand the processes of the cheese facilities.

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!
