Over the years I have seen all types of walk in cold room and by that I mean in type and size.
For example, there is the small walk in chiller which is used by many caterers, bakers and butchers. Florists also use this type of cold room to keep their flowers fresh. Control of temperature for storage is paramount for them - no flowers, no business! The same applies to laboratory cold storage needs. If a laboratory doesn't store its samples etc correctly, it cannot perform its job accurately.
Then there is the small walk in freezer popular with many fast food chains (pizza and burger outlets) as well as restaurants and, again, butchers and bakers.
I have personally been involved in the supply and installation of countless walk in cold rooms and not just in the UK but many countries. Usually the installation work is only required for large cold room and bespoke design projects .... and that suits me just fine.
The truth is that installations take up a lot of time, often not just before and during the installation but also afterwards. Also, many cold room operators have on-site staff sufficiently capable of carrying out the installation themselves, especially if it's a modular assembly cold room. Providing all appropriate health and safety rules are observed, it should be a fairly straight forward process to assemble and install a modular cold room.
This is why so many end-users and contractors opt for modular assembly when it comes to walk in chillers and freezers. It makes sense all round. For any end-users or contractors looking for a good, quality walk in cold room package here is the good news ..... I just bookmarked a special offer (see link) of a quality, modular assembly cold room that comes with refrigeration and shelving and instructions for self-assembly. How long the offer will last who knows but it certainly looks a great option.
Just imagine, you need a new cold room (whether chiller or freezer doesn't matter) and you find one with size and specification options that suit you AND that includes monoblock refrigeration and some shelving. It's easy to assemble and comes from a reputable UK supplier. Job done :)

When A Cold Room Means Something Else!
It's the middle of winter, the room or office you are sitting in may be on the cold side (unless you are in Australia!) and all you want to think about is getting warm. I know the feeling ... here is a photo taken on a recent business trip to see a supplier and my 'room' in the car was freezing!
When it comes to my field of work, however, if the 'room' is not cold enough then I'm not doing my job right. How come? Let me explain. Cold rooms are hugely important pieces of modern technology; without them the large scale food processing, preservation, transportation and storage facilities that supply the bulk of our everyday dietary requirements would not be able to operate. Imagine going to Aldi and not being able to find any refrigerated food to take back home and stock up the fridge and freezer. From cheese to meat and much more, commercial cold rooms make it possible for those supermarket shelves to be filled.
The proper installation and efficient operation of cold rooms is therefore paramount for the food processing industry and I have been privileged to play a part in that for many years. I have been involved in the design, supply and installation of cold rooms for companies like Unilever and Kraft so know first-hand the requirements that have to be fulfilled in order to supply the right equipment.
Of course it's not just food that needs modular cold room storage. There are many other things such as pharmaceuticals, automotive and plastics. Then there is the exhibition sector including museums. It's a big list and one I hope to share an insight into with you via this blog.
For now though, if you want to learn more about the background to chilled food (and hence the need for cold rooms) you can read this page.
If that doesn't appeal and you want instead to steer away from the cold, just turn the heating up OR if that's not easy to do (maybe you're a student and we all know heating doesn't come cheap!) then this Wikihow page might be of interest.
