Choosing the Right Cold Room for Your Business
Size, temperature range and door position all affect running costs. What to decide before you buy.
Start with what you store and how much. Chillers for produce and dairy run at different temperatures to freezers for meat, and the insulation thickness changes accordingly.
Think about how often the door opens. Busy kitchens benefit from strip curtains and well-positioned doors that limit warm air entering.
Finally, plan for monitoring. A simple temperature alarm can save an entire room of stock during a power cut or fault.
