Commercial Floral Coolers & Display Refrigerators

Most cut flowers and floral arrangements are best preserved between 34°F and 38°F (1°C–3°C). Tropical blooms may require slightly warmer storage around 50°F–55°F. ELT's walk-in cooler systems and temperature monitoring accessories help maintain these precise ranges to extend vase life and reduce inventory shrinkage.

A small retail florist typically starts with an 8'x8'x8' walk-in cooler, which provides ample storage for daily inventory without excessive floor space. Larger wholesale or distribution operations may require custom sizes. ELT Custom Coolers offers standard and custom-sized units, with 65+ door SKUs to fit virtually any existing opening.

For high-traffic floral retail, a prehung swing door with a strip curtain is the most common and cost-effective solution. For wholesale or distribution operations where carts and trolleys pass through frequently, a sliding door with a wide opening — available from 36"x78" up to 13'x10' — is the preferred choice to maintain cold integrity and workflow efficiency.

Strip curtains create a secondary barrier across the cooler doorway, reducing cold air loss by 20–40% during high-cycle door openings. This minimizes temperature fluctuations that cause premature wilting and petal damage. The Kason 402 Easimount PVC strip curtain installs tool-free and is designed for commercial floral and food service cold-room doorways.
