Sandwich Panels for Cold Storage Rooms

These panels are used in cold storage and freezer rooms, food warehouses, logistics centers, meat-processing and dairy facilities, retail premises, restaurants, and other temperature-controlled areas.

The main requirements for cold storage sandwich panels are high thermal insulation performance and airtight joints.

Where are cold storage sandwich panels used?

Sandwich panels are suitable for the construction of:

• cold storage rooms;

• freezer rooms;

• food storage warehouses;

• meat and fish storage chambers;

• fruit and vegetable storage facilities;

• dairy production facilities;

• food-processing enterprises;

• pharmaceutical warehouses;

• restaurants and supermarkets;

• logistics and distribution centers.

Using sandwich panels makes it possible to quickly assemble a thermally insulated room and maintain the required indoor temperature.

What are sandwich panels for cold storage rooms made of?

The panel structure consists of several layers:

• an outer metal sheet;

• a thermal insulation core;

• an inner metal sheet.

The metal surface protects the insulation from external influences, while the core provides thermal insulation for the room.

For cold storage facilities, it is especially important that the panels have accurate geometry and a high-quality locking joint.

Which insulation is better for a cold storage room?

Panels with PUR and PIR insulation are often used for refrigerated premises.

PUR

Polyurethane foam has good thermal insulation properties and effectively reduces heat loss through the walls and ceiling of the chamber.

PUR panels are suitable for various temperature-controlled cold storage facilities.

PIR

PIR also has low thermal conductivity and is widely used for thermally insulated premises.

These panels are well suited for cold storage and freezer rooms where it is important to minimize heat transfer through the building envelope.

The choice between PUR and PIR depends on project requirements, indoor temperature, and operating conditions.

What panel thickness is needed for a cold storage room?

Sandwich panel thickness is selected depending on the required temperature conditions.

For rooms with a relatively small difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, thinner panels may be used.

Cold storage and especially freezer rooms require a greater insulation thickness.

The choice depends on:

• required indoor temperature;

• ambient temperature;

• type of insulation;

• chamber dimensions;

• refrigeration equipment operating mode;

• frequency of door opening;

• energy-efficiency requirements.

Panels with thicknesses of 80, 100, 120, or 150 mm are often considered for refrigerated premises, but the exact option should be selected for the specific project.

Why is airtightness important?

Even high-quality insulation will not provide the required result if gaps remain between the panels.

Warm and humid air can enter the room through poorly sealed joints.

This can lead to:

• increased load on refrigeration equipment;

• higher electricity consumption;

• condensation;

• ice formation;

• unstable temperature inside the chamber.

Therefore, the quality of the locking joint and proper panel installation are extremely important.

Panels for cold storage walls and ceilings

When constructing a cold storage room, sandwich panels are used not only for walls.

They can also be used for:

• ceiling structures;

• internal partitions;

• separate temperature zones;

• technical rooms.

Panel thickness for walls and ceilings may differ depending on thermal engineering calculations.

What should be considered when choosing panels?

Before ordering sandwich panels for a cold storage room, it is necessary to determine:

• purpose of the room;

• required operating temperature;

• chamber dimensions;

• external temperature conditions;

• type of insulation;

• required panel thickness;

• requirements for the internal coating;

• number and location of doors;

• installation features.

For food-processing and industrial premises, sanitary requirements for cleaning internal surfaces should also be taken into account.

Advantages of sandwich panels for cold storage rooms

Sandwich panels make it possible to create a finished thermally insulated structure in a relatively short time.

Main advantages include:

• good thermal insulation performance;

• low weight;

• fast installation;

• neat surface;

• availability in different sizes;

• wide range of thicknesses;

• possibility of dismantling and reconstructing individual sections;

• reduced load on the cooling system when panels are selected correctly.

Sandwich panels for freezer rooms

Freezer rooms have higher thermal insulation requirements.

The lower the required indoor temperature, the more important it is to correctly select the panel thickness and insulation type.

When designing a freezer room, it is necessary to consider not only the walls and ceiling but also floor insulation, doors, utility penetrations, and all structural joints.

Even a small thermal bridge can negatively affect the chamber’s energy efficiency.

Can standard sandwich panels be used?

For refrigerated premises, it is preferable to choose panels whose characteristics are suitable for the required operating temperature.

Special attention should be paid to:

• thermal conductivity of the insulation;

• core thickness;

• airtightness of locking joints;

• quality of the metal and protective coating;

• characteristics of the entire building envelope.

Choosing panels only by the lowest price can lead to higher cooling costs in the future.

PanelCity sandwich panels for cold storage rooms

PanelCity manufactures sandwich panels for cold storage and freezer rooms in Uzbekistan.

Depending on the project requirements, you can choose:

• the required insulation type;

• panel thickness;

Manufacturing panels according to the dimensions of the project helps reduce the number of joints and simplify cold storage installation.

How to order?

To select suitable sandwich panels, it is advisable to provide:

• dimensions of the cold storage room;

• required indoor temperature;

• purpose of the room;

• installation location;

• preferred panel thickness, if already specified in the project.

PanelCity specialists will help you choose a suitable solution and calculate the required number of panels for your project.

Conclusion

Sandwich panels are one of the most convenient materials for constructing cold storage rooms.

When choosing panels, it is important to consider not only their price but also the insulation type, thickness, quality of the locking joint, and required operating temperature.

Properly selected panels help reduce heat loss, lower the load on refrigeration equipment, and maintain a stable indoor temperature.
