Insulated Panel Installation

Insulated panel installation for cold rooms, freezer rooms and commercial cold storage. Glotech Group installs panels, doors and insulated room structures.

Insulated Panels for Cold Rooms, Freezer Rooms and Commercial Cold Storage

Glotech Group supplies and installs insulated panels for cold rooms, freezer rooms and commercial cold storage areas. We help businesses build practical, hygienic and temperature-controlled spaces for chilled and frozen storage.

Insulated panels are one of the most important parts of any cold room or freezer room. The panels form the walls and ceiling of the room, helping to reduce heat transfer, support temperature stability and protect the refrigeration system from unnecessary strain.

Whether you need panels for a new commercial cold room installation, a walk-in freezer, a chiller room or a replacement-panel project, Glotech Group can assist.

Call Glotech Group on 067 153 8332 or request a site assessment for your insulated panel installation.

Insulated Panel Types & Thicknesses We Offer

Glotech Group supplies and installs different insulated panel options depending on the cold storage application, required temperature, room size and project budget. The right panel type and thickness helps improve temperature stability, reduce heat gain and support long-term performance.

Polyurethane Panels

Polyurethane panels are commonly used for cold rooms, freezer rooms and commercial cold storage areas where strong insulation performance is required. They are suitable for businesses that need reliable temperature control and a durable insulated room structure.

Polystyrene Panels

Polystyrene panels can be used for selected chilled storage applications, partitioning and cost-sensitive cold room projects where the operating requirements are suitable. We advise on whether polystyrene panels are appropriate based on the room temperature, usage and site conditions.

PU / PIR Sandwich Panels

PU and PIR sandwich panels are used for insulated cold storage structures where strength, hygiene and thermal performance are important. These panels are commonly used in commercial and industrial cold rooms, freezer rooms, food production areas and controlled storage environments.

Panel Thickness Options

We offer insulated panels in different thicknesses depending on the application:

50mm insulated panels are suitable for selected chilled areas, partitioning and temperature-controlled spaces where lighter insulation is acceptable.

100mm insulated panels are commonly used for standard cold rooms, chiller rooms and commercial chilled storage applications.

125mm insulated panels provide stronger insulation for more demanding cold storage requirements and can be suitable where improved temperature control is needed.

150mm insulated panels are commonly used for freezer rooms, low-temperature storage and applications where stronger insulation is required to reduce heat gain.

We recommend the correct panel thickness based on the required temperature, product type, room size, door usage and whether the room is for chilled or frozen storage.

Insulated Panel Installation Cost

The cost of insulated panel installation depends on the size of the room, panel thickness, insulation type, temperature requirement, door requirements, site access and the complexity of the installation.

A small chiller room panel installation will not cost the same as a larger freezer room or industrial cold storage structure. Freezer rooms normally require thicker panels and more careful sealing because they operate at lower temperatures.

The main factors that affect insulated panel installation cost include:

Room size and height
Panel thickness
Insulation type
Cold room or freezer room application
Wall and ceiling requirements
Floor insulation requirements
Number and type of doors
Site access
Existing structure or new build
Panel cutting and fitting requirements
Trims, closures and sealing
Hygiene or wash-down requirements
After-hours or staged installation requirements

For an accurate price, Glotech Group will need to assess the site, room size, operating temperature and intended use of the space.

New Builds, Replacements & Upgrades

Glotech Group can assist with insulated panel installation for new projects, replacements and upgrades.

We can help when:

You are building a new cold room or freezer room
Your existing panels are damaged
Your cold room has air leaks
Your freezer room has recurring ice build-up
You need to expand an existing room
You are upgrading old panels
You need a cleaner storage area
You are converting an existing space into cold storage
You need new doors, seals or panel fittings

Why Insulated Panel Installation Matters

Insulated panels affect the performance of the entire cold storage system. Even a correctly sized refrigeration unit can struggle if the room has poor insulation, air leaks or weak sealing.

Proper insulated panel installation: helps improve temperature stability, lower heat gain, reduce compressor strain, increase energy efficiency, support better hygiene, minimise condensation and ice build-up, extend system life, and maintain more reliable storage conditions.

The panel structure should be planned together with the refrigeration requirement so the room performs properly once it is in daily use.

Refrigeration System Installation Roadmap

Our simple 4-step installation process ensures efficient, reliable, and fully compliant refrigeration system setup for your project.

STEP 01

Site inspection & consultation

We evaluate factors such as available space, ventilation, proximity to power sources, and accessibility for maintenance

STEP 02

System Design

Custom tailored designs to meet specific needs (cooling capacity, energy efficiency, and compatibility with the chosen insulation materials

STEP 03

Installation

Several stages are involved: structural Assembly, Refrigeration System Integration, Electrical Wiring and Controls, Testing and Commissioning

STEP 04

Maintenance and technical support

Scheduled inspections, cleaning, and servicing of components helps to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

Our Insulated Panel Installation Services

A well-built cold storage room starts with the correct insulated panel structure. Poor panel installation can lead to air leaks, temperature loss, condensation, ice build-up, damaged seals and higher running costs.

Glotech Group installs insulated panels for commercial and industrial environments where hygiene, durability and temperature control matter.

Cold Room Panel Installation

We install insulated panels for new cold rooms, chiller rooms and cool rooms. These panels help create a controlled chilled storage space for food, beverages, ingredients, fresh produce and other temperature-sensitive products.

Cold room panels must be fitted correctly to reduce air leaks, support stable temperatures and create a clean, practical storage environment.

Freezer Room Panel Installation

Freezer rooms require stronger insulation and careful sealing because they operate at lower temperatures. We install insulated freezer-room panels for complete commercial walk-in freezer installations, frozen-storage rooms and other low-temperature applications.

Correct freezer panel installation helps reduce ice build-up, temperature loss and unnecessary load on the refrigeration system.

Cold Storage Panel Installation

We install insulated panels for commercial cold storage areas used in food production, hospitality, retail, warehousing and distribution. These spaces may be used for holding stock, preparing products, dispatch staging or controlled storage.

The panel layout is planned around access, workflow, hygiene and the required temperature range.

Insulated Wall and Ceiling Panels

We install insulated wall and ceiling panels to form the structure of cold rooms, freezer rooms and controlled storage areas. Panel thickness and insulation type are selected according to the application and operating temperature.

The right panel system improves room performance and helps the refrigeration equipment work more efficiently.

Cold Room Door & Panel Fitting

A cold room or freezer room is only as good as its sealing points. We can assist with cold room doors, freezer room doors, panel joints, trims, closures, seals and related fittings.

Glotech Group also provides cold room door seal replacement and repairs where damaged seals, hinges or door alignment affect temperature performance.

Replacement & Upgrade Panels

If existing panels are damaged, poorly sealed, outdated or no longer suitable, Glotech Group can assist with replacement or upgrade work. This may be useful when a business is expanding, improving hygiene, upgrading insulation or repairing damaged cold room structures.
