Category: Sandwich Panels
The 50mm Cold Room Panel delivers refrigerated storage capability at the lowest practical build-up and cost point. Its polyurethane core conducts heat at 0.022 W/mK – efficient enough to hold chill temperatures reliably in rooms at 0°C to +10°C – while the slim 50mm profile keeps wall thickness, panel weight and material cost to a minimum. For operators adding their first walk-in cooler, converting a back room into chilled storage, or partitioning temperature zones inside an existing facility, this panel is the most economical entry into engineered cold storage.
The panel’s natural territory is positive-temperature storage: walk-in coolers for restaurants and catering, supermarket fresh-food preparation rooms, hotel banquet cold rooms, dairy and beverage storage, produce holding rooms, florist coolers, and pharmaceutical or laboratory chill cabinets built as rooms. It also serves as insulated lining for converting existing spaces, and as temperature partitions where a chilled zone must be created inside a larger ambient hall. Businesses standardizing multiple small coolers across branches value the panel’s consistent specification and straightforward installation.
Every cold room project balances three costs: construction, refrigeration equipment, and energy. Panel thickness shifts the balance between them. For chill duty, where the wall faces a modest temperature difference, a 50mm core keeps heat gain low enough that a compact refrigeration package suffices – so the savings on insulation thickness flow straight through to smaller equipment, without a meaningful energy penalty over the room’s life. The engineering discipline is confirming this for each project: we calculate the room’s heat load from dimensions, temperature, ambient climate and door usage, then verify that the refrigeration selection holds temperature with margin. The outcome is cold storage that costs less to build and less to run – the combination that makes chill rooms viable for smaller operators and multi-site programs alike.
Continuous lamination guarantees core density and facing bond even in the slim 50mm profile; panels are cut to project length, inspected and labeled for installation. Arteco supplies layout drawings, junction details and door coordination, and can quote the complete package including refrigeration unit and controls so the room arrives as one engineered system.
Positive-temperature duty from 0°C to +10°C covers its design range: chillers, preparation rooms and temperature partitions. For frozen storage at -18°C or below, move to 150–200mm panels.
The difference in chill duty is small because the temperature differential is modest. Our heat-load calculation quantifies it for your specific room so you can weigh energy against construction cost with real numbers.
The joint system is designed for straightforward assembly, and many operators install rooms with their own crews using our layout drawings. We also provide installation guidance or supervised installation on request.
Capacity follows room volume, temperature and door traffic rather than panel thickness alone. Share your room details through our RFQ form and we will size the unit to the calculated load.
Yes. Panels join mechanically, so additional bays attach to the existing room with matching panels. We keep panel schedules on record for seamless extensions.
Operators building their first walk-in cooler benefit from planning the full system, not just the panels. Room location matters: position the cooler where deliveries arrive and product flows outward, minimizing handling distance. Electrical supply for the refrigeration unit needs confirming early, because single-phase and three-phase options affect equipment selection. Drainage for condensate must route to a suitable outlet. Door position and swing follow the traffic pattern – hinged or sliding depends on space and usage frequency. Finally, the refrigeration unit itself is sized to the calculated load, not to room volume alone. First-time buyers who plan these inputs together get rooms that perform from day one; those who order panels first and solve the rest later typically face rework. We guide first projects through every input, which is why many first rooms become second and third rooms.
Yes. Panels, door, refrigeration unit and controls can be quoted as one engineered package, so every component arrives compatible and the room enters service without interface problems.
