Cold Storage PUF Panel for Cold Rooms and Freezer Rooms

Recommended thickness by use case

Cold storage thickness is not a fixed number — it follows the temperature you need to hold, the room size and the local climate, and the final figure is properly set from a heat-load calculation at quotation rather than picked off a generic chart. As general industry guidance to start the conversation:

Chiller rooms

Chiller and general cold-storage rooms — holding produce, dairy or general perishables above freezing — commonly use panels in the 80–100 mm range as a starting reference. This is guidance, not a fixed SAMAN specification; your actual room size, door frequency and ambient climate all move the correct thickness, confirmed at quotation.

Freezer rooms

Freezer and deep-freeze rooms — holding product below freezing — commonly use panels in the 120–150 mm range as general guidance, since a larger temperature gap needs more core depth to hold efficiently. SAMAN manufactures freezer-grade panels up to 150 mm; the exact thickness for your freezer room is still set from your heat-load calculation, not from this guidance alone.

Wall, ceiling and floor panel specifications

Cold storage panels use the same PUF core and facing range as the rest of our line, scaled to the thicker end for cold-chain use. Panels are supplied with tongue-and-groove or cam-lock joining, selected per project at quotation. SAMAN also manufactures insulated floor panels for freezer rooms, alongside the wall and ceiling range — specification and pricing confirmed at quotation against your room layout.

For the full dimensional reference across our range, see our thickness, density and size specification details.

Price and quote factors

A cold storage PUF panel rate moves with thickness, facing, room size and finish, the same drivers behind every panel rate in our range — there is no single published “cold room price” we can quote without your specification, because a genuine cold-chain quote depends on the heat-load calculation, not a headline rate. Base panel rates by thickness sit on our pricing page; a full cold room or freezer room figure is confirmed once we have your room size, target temperature and door/access requirement.

Send your room dimensions, target temperature and site city, and we return a firm quotation rather than a generic per-square-foot estimate.

Installation and condensation considerations

A cold storage panel room is only as effective as its sealing. A few qualitative points worth knowing before you order:

• Vapour sealing at joints matters more in a cold room than in a standard wall or roof, because the temperature difference across the panel drives condensation risk if joints and penetrations aren't properly sealed.
• Floor and ceiling junctions need particular attention, since these are common points where cold-side moisture finds a path if not detailed correctly.
• Door and access openings are a frequent condensation point — the framing and seal around a cold-room door is confirmed against your drawing rather than treated as a standard detail.

These are qualitative cautions, not a substitute for a proper installation drawing — we confirm the sealing and fixing detail for your specific room at quotation.
