Cold Rooms for Commercial Food Storage

Cold Rooms for Commercial Food Storage provide reliable, walk-in chilled storage for professional kitchens, butchers, hotels, supermarkets and food production sites. These modular rooms use high-performance insulation panels and powerful refrigeration units to hold precise temperatures for safe food preservation. Available in a wide range of footprints and capacities, they maximise storage while making stock rotation and HACCP checks straightforward. Robust doors, hygienic interiors and efficient compressors help reduce running costs and support consistent service in busy Irish operations.

• Modular cold rooms in multiple footprints and cubic capacities to suit any kitchen, prep area or back-of-house store.
• Walk-in designs with insulated panels, self-closing doors and optional non-slip flooring for safe, hygienic access.
• Chilled temperature ranges typically from +1°C to +5°C for fresh meat, dairy, produce and prepared dishes.
• Energy-efficient compressors and 100 mm or 120 mm insulation thickness options to lower energy consumption.
• Mini cold rooms and compact models ideal for smaller restaurants, cafes and food trucks with limited space.
• Leading brands such as CombiSteel and Tefcold with nationwide delivery, installation and aftersales support.

How to choose the right Cold Rooms for Commercial Food Storage

• Measure available floor space and door clearances, then match internal room dimensions and cubic capacity to your stock turnover.
• Decide between mini cold rooms for compact premises or larger walk-in rooms for hotels, butchers and production kitchens.
• Select insulation thickness and panel specification to balance energy efficiency, temperature stability and budget.
• Consider door type, opening direction and flooring options to ensure safe, easy access for trolleys and staff.
• Choose integral refrigeration units for simple installation or remote systems for quieter operation in customer-facing areas.
• Check HACCP and food-safety compliance, as well as suitability for the products you store, from fresh meat to prepared meals.

Care and maintenance

• Clean and sanitise walls, shelving and floors regularly to prevent odours, mould growth and cross-contamination.
• Inspect door seals, hinges and handles frequently to ensure a tight closure and minimise cold air loss.
• Vacuum or brush condenser and evaporator coils according to manufacturer guidelines to maintain efficiency.
• Monitor and log temperatures daily to meet HACCP requirements and quickly identify any performance issues.
• Defrost units when required and check drainage to avoid ice build-up and water pooling on floors.
• Schedule professional servicing to test controls, check refrigerant levels and extend the life of your cold room.

Pair your cold room with freezer rooms, cold room shelving and chilled display units to build a complete, efficient cold chain for your business.
