When it comes to outfitting your business with a custom cool room, the options and considerations can be overwhelming. We also understand that every business has unique needs that standard equipment simply can’t meet. So whether you’re running a supermarket, a restaurant or any other business that requires temperature controlled environments, here are some critical factors to keep in mind when planning your custom cool room.
Understanding Your Specific Cool Room Needs
The first step in designing a custom cool room is understanding the specific requirements of your business. Different industries have varying needs. For instance, supermarkets and grocery stores often require custom entry and exit points to facilitate the movement of large quantities of stock, with forklift accessibility being a common necessity. Restaurants and cafés have highly specific storage needs depending on the type of cuisine and the nature of the ingredients being stored, while a grow room will require a more specific setup.
We have a team of experienced designers, builders and technicians will work with you to determine the best layout and features for your cool room, ensuring it meets the specific operational requirements of your business, providing solutions that enhance efficiency and functionality.
Custom Designed Shelving for Optimal Storage
Shelving is a crucial aspect of any cool room design. The right shelving not only maximises storage space but also ensures that items are easily accessible and organised. Planning shelving for the space can be tricky because there are numerous options in terms of size and tiers. The configuration of shelving will depend on what you’re storing, transporting or selling, so consulting with professionals is highly beneficial in this aspect.
Controlling Humidity and Temperature
Maintaining the right environment inside your cool room is essential to prevent spoilage and ensure the longevity of your stock. Temperature control is the most obvious factor, but it’s crucial to get it right, as different products and items require different temperature settings. However, many people overlook the importance of humidity control. Of course, excess moisture can ruin stock, especially perishable goods, making proper humidity control extremely important as temperature regulation in ensuring that your products remain in optimal condition.
The Door Size and Functionality
The door is a vital part of your room’s design, and its size and functionality can significantly impact the efficiency of your operations. Depending on what you’re storing and how you’ll transport it, the dimensions of the door need careful consideration. For instance, if large items or high volumes of stock are being moved in and out, a larger door may be necessary. Additionally, the type of door, whether that’s sliding or swinging, can affect how you utilise your space, with sliding doors might be preferable in areas where space is limited.
Choosing the Right Team
Navigating the standards and requirements for designing and constructing your cool room can be complex. That’s why it’s essential to choose a team with the right expertise. So for more information, just contact us to start designing your ideal cool room today.
