Cold rooms
Walk in cold rooms such as those available from https://www.fridgefreezerdirect.co.uk/cold-rooms can be a good choice for larger businesses, especially those that want to ensure that the space available is used to the best possible effect. A cold room is also a good alternative for businesses or organisations which cannot house either a freezing unit or cold storage inside or out.

Portable blast freezers
These can be the most effective and efficient cold storage solution to businesses such as fisheries that need low temperature fast freezing to protect products with extremely fast deterioration rates. Lifespans can be improved substantially with the help of effective and quick freezing methods.
Mix of options
Supermarkets and distribution warehouses will normally need larger cold storage units, along with portable units, on-site options and static refrigeration needs in order to fulfil all of their requirements. Wide span units can be a good choice for these businesses as they can be used in combination to create large multifunction storage facilities, meeting the needs of all sorts of different products.
Cold storage rooms are also a good solution for this type of business and cold rooms can be integrated into supermarkets or large buildings to create a simple and effective way of storing and moving goods around before they are put in front of the customers. Cold rooms are also ideal to prevent problems that can be associated with some other freezing and cold storage units which can be adversely affected by the frequent opening of doors or moving goods around.
