Walk-in Freezers
Walk-in freezers are insulated, room-sized frozen storage spaces, used where a kitchen’s frozen volume outgrows upright or chest freezers. Dark kitchens, hotels, wholesalers and care home catering operations with high frozen-stock turnover run them, matching refrigeration unit sizing to room volume and door traffic. An insulated floor panel is essential to prevent ground moisture freezing and heaving over time.
Key specifications
Rooms hold -18 to -22°C behind freezer-grade panel insulation commonly 100-150mm thick.
Walk-in Freezers — FAQs
How thick should freezer room panels be?
Freezer-grade panels are typically 100-150mm thick (compared with 60-100mm for chill rooms) to maintain the deeper temperature differential and reduce energy consumption from heat ingress.
Do walk-in freezers need an insulated floor?
Yes — freezer rooms need an insulated floor panel to stop ground moisture freezing beneath the unit, which over time can cause frost heave and structural damage; chill rooms above +2°C generally don’t need this.
