Our Full Range of Cold Room Panel Types
A cold room is not simply four flat walls and a ceiling. Achieving a properly sealed, structurally sound cold store requires a carefully coordinated range of specialist panel types — each engineered to perform in its specific location within the cold room structure.
Flat Wall and Ceiling Panels
- Corner Panels - for Sealed, Thermally Efficient Junctions
- T-Panels - for Internal Partitioning and Multi-Chamber Facilities
- Narrow Panels - for Challenging Dimensions and Tight Spaces
- Customised Cold Room Panels - Tailor-made cold room panels designed to fit your exact space
Eight Thickness Options — Getting the Specification Right
A common mistake in cold room construction is choosing panels that are too thin, which makes it harder to maintain temperatures and increases energy consumption.
Coldroomplus offers panels in eight thicknesses, from 50 mm to 200 mm, suitable for everything from small chilled rooms to large industrial freezers.
As a guide, chilled rooms (0°C to +5°C) typically use 80–100 mm panels, while freezer rooms (-18°C to -25°C) require 100–150 mm. Ultra-low temperature and blast freezer applications may need 150–200 mm panels.
Your Coldroomplus advisor will recommend the right thickness based on your environment, temperature needs, and usage.

Yes. All Coldroomplus cold room panels comply with the B2 fire resistance standard as default. For projects requiring enhanced fire performance, B1 fire-rated panels are available on request — suitable for high-occupancy facilities and environments with strict building regulation requirements.
5. What is a camlock cold room panel?
A camlock panel is an insulated cold room panel with a built-in mechanical cam-lock jointing system along its edges. The cam-action fastener draws adjacent panels tightly together, creating an airtight, thermally efficient seal without the need for specialist installation tools.
6. What is the best surface material for cold room panels?
The best facing material depends on your environment. Polyester-coated (POLY) panels suit general commercial cold rooms. PVC is ideal for high-humidity and wet environments. Chrome-nickel stainless steel is preferred in pharmaceutical and high-care food facilities. Galvanised steel works well in agricultural and industrial settings.
7. Can cold room panels be used for freezer rooms?
Yes. Cold room panels are used for both chilled and frozen storage. Freezer room applications simply require a greater panel thickness — typically 100 mm to 150 mm or above — to achieve the required thermal resistance at sub-zero temperatures.
8. How are cold room panels installed?
Cold room panels are installed using the interlocking camlock system, which allows panels to be connected quickly and accurately on site. Floor panels are laid first, wall panels connect around the perimeter, and ceiling panels complete the insulated enclosure. Standard installations can be completed in as little as seven days.
9. Can I self-install modular cold room panels?
Yes, modular cold room panels from Coldroomplus are designed to allow self-installation. Floor and ceiling panels are pre-cut to size, and the camlock joint system requires no specialist tools. For larger or more complex cold rooms, professional installation is recommended to protect warranty validity and ensure correct thermal performance.
10. What is the difference between cold room panels and freezer room panels?
There is no fundamental structural difference — both use the same polyurethane core and metal facing. The distinction lies in the thickness specified. Freezer room panels are typically thicker to maintain sub-zero temperatures efficiently, while cold room panels for chilled applications can be thinner.
11. Do cold room panels meet UK building regulations?
Yes. Coldroomplus cold room panels are manufactured to comply with UK building regulations, including fire resistance requirements under Approved Document B. Our technical team advises on the correct specification to ensure full compliance for your specific building and application.
12. What is a corner panel in a cold room?
A corner panel is a purpose-made cold room panel pre-formed at the correct angle to create a thermally efficient, sealed junction at wall-to-wall and wall-to-ceiling corners. Unlike butting standard flat panels at a corner, corner panels eliminate thermal bridging and maintain the integrity of the insulation envelope.
13. What is a T-panel used for in cold room construction?
A T-panel is used where an internal partition wall meets an exterior wall or another partition inside a cold storage facility. It allows three panels to connect at a single junction — making T-panels essential in multi-zone cold stores, multi-chamber facilities, and controlled atmosphere rooms.
14. How do cold room panels improve energy efficiency?
Cold room panels with a correctly specified polyurethane core minimise heat transfer through the insulation envelope, reducing the workload on your refrigeration unit. Lower energy consumption means lower electricity bills and a reduced carbon footprint over the lifetime of the cold store.
15. Are cold room panels suitable for pharmaceutical storage?
Yes. Coldroomplus chrome-nickel stainless steel-faced panels are widely used in pharmaceutical cold storage environments. They offer the hygienic, easily cleanable surfaces required under GDP and GMP guidelines, and support the environmental monitoring and validation programmes that pharmaceutical operators must maintain.
