Cold Rooms
Cold rooms are insulated, panelled enclosures fitted with dedicated refrigeration systems to hold produce, meat, dairy, pharmaceuticals or other temperature-sensitive stock at a controlled chill or freeze temperature. Frosten designs, supplies and installs walk-in cold rooms sized from small back-of-house chillers to large-scale distribution and processing facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range can a cold room hold?
Chill rooms typically hold 0–5°C for fresh produce, dairy and general chilled stock, while freezer rooms hold -18°C to -25°C for frozen goods; the panel thickness and refrigeration plant are sized to the target temperature.
Can an existing cold room be expanded?
Yes, modular panel construction allows a room to be extended, provided the refrigeration plant is upsized to match the additional volume and load.
How long does cold room installation take?
A standard back-of-house room can be installed in a few days; larger distribution facilities are scheduled around a full design and fabrication programme discussed at quotation stage.
