Dual Compartment Cold Rooms for Catering Business
Walk-In Fridge & Walk-In Freezer Dual Compartment Cold Rooms
Dual compartment cold rooms are the perfect solution for food and drink businesses that require a walk-in fridge and a walk-in freezer but have limited space. Dual compartment cold rooms offer the opportunity to have two separate storage rooms whilst saving on space – using a dividing wall formed from cold room panels to split a cold room into two chambers.
MTCSS recently supplied and install a new dual compartment cold room for a catering business in Herefordshire. They were using stand-alone fridges and freezers for their food storage and the expansion of their business, and their kitchen, meant they required new cold rooms for storage space.
Utilising walk-in cold rooms for storage, compared to stand-alone fridges and freezers, allows for improved and easier stock management; can help improve energy efficiency, and additional space. And a dual compartment cold room allows for both a chiller and freezer compartment – or you could have two walk-in fridges, or two walk-in freezers, whatever combination works for your business needs!
Cold Room Panels & Flooring
The cold room and dividing wall were built from 100mm cold room panel for optimal insulation for both the chilled and frozen environments. The walk-in freezer was fitted with an insulated floor to avoid frost heave, with a five-bar aluminium overlay to reduce the slip risk.
Cold Room Doors
Both cold rooms had 800mm by 1800mm MTH hinged cold room doors for access for personnel and stock. The freezer cold room door had a heater cable around the door frame to stop the door freezing in a closed position.
Refrigeration Systems & Shelving
To maintain the internal temperatures, split refrigeration systems were installed. With dba 36 at 10 metres, the noise level of the systems is classified as very low – making it ideal for residential or built up areas. Both cold rooms were fitted with Titan tri-proof LED cold room lighting – these lights help reduce heat gain within the room, meaning your refrigeration systems don’t have to work any harder to cool down the rooms from excess heat from the lighting.
The walk-in fridge and walk-in freezer were both fitted with chrome four tier cold room shelving to help store the food and drink products effectively.
The MTCSS team supplied, installed and managed every aspect of the food and drink cold room project – from cold room panels to refrigeration commissioning, MTCSS are the experts when it comes to designing cold rooms to your bespoke requirements.

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!
