120 mm PUR / PIR Cold Room Panel: U-Value, Temperature Regime & Specifications

General engineering guideline: 60–80 mm for +8/+15°C cool storage, 80–100 mm for +2/+8°C chillers, 100 mm for 0/+4°C fresh storage, 120–150 mm for -18/-22°C freezers, 150–180 mm for -25/-30°C deep freeze, and 180–200 mm for -35/-40°C blast freezers.

Both provide high thermal insulation at 40–42 kg/m³ density, while PIR (Polyisocyanurate) features an enhanced isocyanurate ring structure that delivers superior fire resistance, reduced smoke emission, and compliance with industrial property insurance standards.

Cam-lock modular panels allow rapid assembly and future disassembly/relocation for walk-in cold rooms. Continuous-line labyrinth slip-joint panels are engineered for tall industrial cold storage buildings and long partition walls up to 13.5 meters.

Without proper floor insulation in sub-zero rooms, ground moisture freezes and expands (frost heave), cracking the concrete slab. Modular rooms use birch-plywood + stainless steel floor panels, while forklift-rated warehouses use multi-layer high-compressive XPS/PIR below a reinforced concrete slab with underfloor heating or ventilation.

Sharp 90-degree wall-to-floor and wall-to-wall angles trap bacteria and organic residues. HACCP, IFS, and BRCGS food safety audits require coved (rounded radius) PVC/aluminium hygienic profiles for effortless sanitation.

Rapid air contraction after door closure or defrost cycles creates strong vacuum pressure inside sealed rooms. Heated pressure relief valves are mandatory in all sub-zero freezers and blast rooms to prevent panel implosion and vacuum-locked doors.
