Choosing Coolroom Panels for Maximum Efficiency

Coolroom panels are commonly referred to as insulated wall panels, walk-in cooler panels, or modular refrigeration panels. They may also be called polyurethane foam panels or PIR panels, depending on the insulation core material. In commercial refrigeration, they form the structural shell of walk-in coolers and freezers.

Most commercial coolroom panels use a polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core, which provides excellent thermal resistance. These materials minimize heat transfer, maintain consistent internal temperatures, and reduce energy consumption, making them the industry standard for walk-in coolers and freezer box construction.

The same insulated panel structure supports both applications, though refrigeration equipment and door gasket specifications will differ depending on whether the unit is set up for cooler or freezer duty.

An 8x8x8 foot walk-in box is the most popular size for small-format restaurants, ghost kitchens, and food trucks. It provides ample storage without consuming excessive floor space. For larger operations or multi-zone storage needs, larger custom configurations are available. ELT Custom Coolers can help assess your specific storage volume requirements.
