What Walk In Cooler Panels Mean To You

Every day walk in cooler panels are built and shipped all over the world. Many people assume that all walk in cooler panels are the same, this is an incorrect assumption. The following article will explain the differences between the different types of panels. After all, it’s important for the customer to make an informed decision.

One of the main things to consider when comparing walk in cooler panels is the way the frame is constructed. We at American Cooler Technologies use a wood frame construction and we feel that it’s the best value on the market. Next, pay close attention to what type of insulation is being used. Many competitors are using extruded polystyrene which is basically foam board that you can buy at any large supply house. American Cooler Technologies uses an injected polyurethane insulation that we strongly feel is superior to polystyrene. It offers a strong R value while also being very durable!

When looking at walk in cooler panels, consider how they will fit together. We use a tongue and groove system to ensure a tight seal. After the panels are slid together, we take making a tight seal a step further. Our panels cam lock together using a cam locking system and an allen wrench. Simply insert the wrench into the pre drilled hole, turn the wrench roughly 3/4 of a turn and you’re done! This makes installation a breeze as well as taking down your walk in cooler or freezer should you ever decide to move.

Another important aspect to walk in cooler panels is what finish is used on them. We recommend a stucco embossed galvanized finish. This is because stucco embossed galvanized does a fantastic job of showing very little wear over the years. It is basically a dimpled pattern already in place upon installation. Should your unit ever get dented or scratched (which it will over time), the stucco embossed galvanized finish will do an excellent job of helping hide these blemishes.

In summary, be sure to set your sights on how the frame is constructed, what type of insulation is used (look for polyurethane), how they will fit together (look for tongue and groove coupled with cam locks), and what type of finish is being used (look for stucco embossed galvanized.  After all, you want your walk in cooler or freezer to be around for years to come considering that it’s a large investment. If you look for these main components, you can assure yourself that you are getting quality walk in cooler panels. Do yourself a favor and do your research, in the end you’ll be very glad that you did!
