How long does a cold room take to build?

A small panel room is typically a few days on site once panels are delivered. Larger rooms and freezer rooms take longer, mostly due to floor and plant work.

Can a cold room be installed inside an existing building?

Yes — most rooms are built inside a warehouse or kitchen. We check floor levels, drainage and condenser siting first.

Cold Room Installation in Sandton

What cold room installation actually involves

A cold room is sized from the product, not the box. Loading rate, entry temperature, door openings per hour and panel thickness all shape the plant selection. We calculate the heat load including product pull-down, then choose panel, floor, door and refrigeration plant to match, so the room holds temperature during busy loading rather than only overnight.

Because Sandton sits within our core Johannesburg footprint, routine visits here do not carry long-distance travel charges. We confirm parking, access control and after-hours arrangements before attending.
