Standard sizes include 6 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft options.

For most small restaurants under 80 seats, an 8 ft × 8 ft cooler is a solid starting point. It gives roughly 55 sq ft of usable floor space. Higher-volume operations typically move to 10 ft or 12 ft boxes.

Our modular cold rooms are designed for restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, cafés and coffee shops, warehouses, convenience stores, hotels, and catering businesses.

Cooler panels are rated for 32°F to 50°F.

Freezer panels and doors are engineered for −4°F to −8°F continuous operation.

An 8 ft × 8 ft cooler box typically requires a ¾ HP to 1 HP condensing unit for cooler temperatures. The exact unit depends on ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and what products are stored. We'll recommend the right unit when you request a quote.

All IceHouse walk-ins are built with 4" polyurethane insulated panels (R-28) — the industry standard for both walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers. For freezers, an insulated floor is required.

The panels have a food-grade galvanized steel interior and exterior finish.

Insulated doors include a magnetic gasket seal, self-closing hinges, and interior safety release on all cooler and freezer doors. Freezer doors include anti-condensation heater cable.

Panels use aluminum eccentric cam-lock connectors.

Yes. Standard panels can be combined to build any footprint. Floor panels, extra doors, and custom cutouts for refrigeration units are available.

The panel assembly is designed to be straightforward using cam-lock connectors. The refrigeration hookup, including electrical and refrigerant lines, should be done by a licensed technician — we're happy to recommend a trusted installer.

For freezers, an insulated floor panel is strongly recommended. It prevents condensation, protects the concrete slab, and improves energy efficiency.

Coolers can often be installed without a floor panel if the existing floor is level and properly sealed.
