What is a Cold Room?
A Cold Room is the largest type of refrigeration unit available which can be used within any kitchen setting or even in external locations. As the name indicates, a ‘Cold Room’ is a room that has a lower temperature than a normal room, however, this does not mean that it is comparable to a room in which the windows have been left open during a cold night. Instead it is a unit designed to control its internal temperature with high quality insulation to prevent unwarranted fluctuations in the Cold Rooms conditions.
Cold Room are often utilised by businesses (typically within the hospitality and food industry) or large households to store large quantities of food, which would not be possible when using a standard fridge. If you, or your business, need to ensure a large number of items are chilled, then a Cold Room could be exactly what you are looking for.

In addition, you will not need to go on as many shopping trips as you can buy your food stocks in volume and this stock will stay fresher for longer.

For domestic placements there is the option of designing a custom-built unit which can be fully integrated with any kitchen design and layout.

If installed in an external area then the Cold Room will require weather proofing to ensure longevity.
- Protected and Dependable: Since the potential cost of a Cold Rooms contents can be substantial, all units have features installed to prevent any unnecessary impairment from the external environment or potential theft.
- Time: Due to bulk purchases being a legitimate option it also means the fresh produce and contents you purchase will stay fresher for longer due to the controlled environment, resulting in less food wastage.
