Custom-Built Cold Rooms
Take advantage of our customisation service to create a cold room tailored to your site, stock and usage needs. Custom cold rooms can be designed to suit your bespoke requirements.
Our team can evaluate your stock, from flowers to food, and recommend a design that optimises storage capacity. We can advise on everything from the dimensions to the number of shelves and the ideal temperature range your products require.
Modular Coldrooms
While fixed commercial cold rooms arrive pre-assembled, modular cold room installations involve building custom refrigeration units on-site with standard-sized panels based on your specifications.
The benefits of modular cold rooms include their adaptability and ease of installation and maintenance. From small kitchens to box rooms, our team can create walk-in chillers or cold rooms in different sizes in almost any pre-existing storage space, panel by panel. These modular units are ideal for tight layouts and high-demand commercial settings.
If you remodel or relocate, these modular coldrooms can be disassembled and reinstalled elsewhere on your new premises.
Beer Cellar Cold Rooms
Certain alcoholic beverages, like beer and wine, are temperature-sensitive products. They require a specific environment and a consistent temperature range to preserve their quality and flavour. Without the temperature control provided by a cold storage installation, they can deteriorate, resulting in costly waste.
We can install walk-in cold rooms that are kept at a temperature between 10ºC to 15ºC and precisely control the humidity to around 79%. This controlled environment will ensure that your beverages maintain and even improve their palatability over time.

Features of Cold Storage Solutions
Cold room solutions vary depending on their uses, but there are some common inclusions, such as:
Insulation: Effective insulation keeps warm air out while trapping cold air inside for circulation.
Lighting: Depending on the size of your unit, you might require proper lighting to access and check products.
Shelving: Flexible shelving and rack storage improve airflow and organisation for easier inventory checks.
Temperature control: Several factors affect the optimal temperature required in each system. The integrated system allows you to set and monitor the temperature and humidity levels inside.
Additional features: This may include automated defrost cycles, backup power, or door alarms for added safety and convenience.
These features work together to keep your system running efficiently while protecting stock. With proper upkeep, including regular cleaning and coil maintenance, you’ll extend the lifespan of your cold room.
Benefits of Cold Room Installations
The addition of a cold room benefits businesses in many ways. We use trusted brands like Daikin and Turbo Air for trusted systems that combine performance and energy savings. They offer:
Large storage capacity: Effortlessly meet high-volume storage demands while preserving the freshness of your goods. It’s also beneficial for keeping your stock levels updated.
Energy efficiency: Proper insulation ensures your unit can maintain consistent cold air, keeping energy costs low. Your energy consumption will be lower as opposed to running multiple units.
Easy organisation: Easily organise your inventory, and opting for transparent sliding doors will allow you to check stock without having to open the door each time.
Reduced food waste: Keep your produce fresh by maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the space. Plus, in the event of a power failure, a cold room stays cold for longer.
Customisable solutions: Create custom walk-in fridges to provide optimal performance for your business. Select the ideal room door for your needs and consider adding shelves or lighting for added convenience.

FAQs About Commercial Cold Room Installation
Here are answers to the most common questions about our cold room installations, maintenance and repairs.
What is a cold room?
A cold room is an insulated and temperature-controlled space. They are ideal for storing chilled foods and other temperature-sensitive products on a large scale. Industries that benefit from cold room installations include retail, hospitality, education, medical, offices, and food processing.
If you have the space, a cold storage room that covers large areas is more cost-effective than installing individual refrigeration equipment such as upright fridges or upright freezer units.
Food storage rooms also offer the ultimate operational efficiency and reduced energy costs while ensuring stock can be kept at the perfect temperature for maximum longevity.
Is a chiller room the same as a freezer room?
Not quite. Although freezers and cold rooms perform similar functions for many businesses and can look almost identical, chiller and freezer units are not exactly the same.
Cold stores are typically kept at temperatures between -2ºC and 5ºC, with a cold storage air conditioning system and insulation. This is ideal for extending the shelf life of fresh food and other perishable items in commercial kitchens and restaurants that can’t be frozen. A cold storage room is also ideal for preserving medical samples and medicines in laboratories.
Freezer rooms operate at a temperature range of -40ºC to -18ºC and are designed to rapidly freeze items or preserve pre-frozen stock for long-term storage.
How does a cold room work?
A cold room works similarly to fridges and freezers, but on a larger commercial scale. The cold room refrigeration system compresses a refrigerant, causing it to expand and absorb energy. As the refrigerant absorbs energy, it cools the evaporator coils. Warm air then passes over the coils, is cooled, and is circulated throughout the room by fans. This maintains stable temperatures and prevents spoilage.
What cold room services do you offer?
As an established commercial cold room company in Scotland, we offer more than just installation. We also perform commercial cold room repairs on refrigeration equipment and offer comprehensive cold room maintenance services.
Do I need a cold room maintenance plan?
Regular maintenance is essential for the upkeep of any type of equipment. Your cold room is no exception. G2 Ref offers optional maintenance contracts to all our clients.
Periodic maintenance ensures everything is running smoothly and there are no imminent issues that might point to a breakdown down the line. Various factors or components are checked and updated if necessary.
Maintenance might include coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and temperature system testing.

Jamie Currie
First time we had an air conditioning unit installed in a server room- entire install less than a day for a top of the range fixed unit! Second time we had a freezer break down - G2 on site within the hour, diagnosed with in another and parts ordered for fitting the next day! They even helped us arrange a freezer trailer to put the stock in whilst our freezer was out of action. Staff always professional and very polite.
Tom McCubbine
We needed to engage with a refrigeration contractor that could support our exponential growth & development over the last 4 years. G2 have project managed the design & installation of our large scale chilled storage facilities in our 7 depots around Scotland & England with great success.
