Building Tips for Standards Compliant Commercial Cold Rooms

Designed to meet high-quality standards today’s prefabricated homes blend seamlessly with traditionally built properties while offering significant economic and environmental benefits.
Compliant Commercial Cold Rooms

Creating a reliable, energy-efficient and standards-compliant cold room requires careful planning and the right building materials. For builders working on commercial cold storage facilities, insulated panel technology plays a critical role in meeting Australian regulations and maintaining consistent cold room temperatures. Bondor is a trusted leader in Queensland, delivering high-performance cold storage solutions tailored to meet stringent hygiene and efficiency standards.

Choose the Right Insulated Panels

One of the most important considerations when designing a cold room is selecting the appropriate materials for the walls and ceiling. Bondor’s cool room panels are purpose-built for superior insulation, ensuring internal temperatures are controlled with precision. Builders can choose from two core types—EPS-FR (Expanded Polystyrene Fire Retardant) and PIR (Polyisocyanurate)—both of which provide excellent thermal resistance and are well-suited for cold storage environments. PIR panels offer ultra-low thermal conductivity and excellent fire-retardant properties, making them ideal for facilities that require the highest levels of safety and performance. EPS-FR is a cost-effective solution with strong insulating properties and proven reliability for a wide range of cold room installations. These pre-engineered store panels are manufactured in compliance with Australian building and safety standards.

Ensure Airtight Sealing for Energy Efficiency

To maintain stable cold room temperature and prevent energy loss, it’s essential to achieve airtight sealing throughout the construction. Bondor panels use precision-engineered joint systems that lock together to form a continuous, air-tight envelope. This reduces the risk of thermal bridging and minimises strain on refrigeration systems, ultimately lowering operational costs. A properly sealed structure also helps meet health and safety compliance requirements, particularly in industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals, where consistent climate control is non-negotiable.

Consider Panel Thickness and Layout in Design

Panel thickness plays a major role in achieving thermal efficiency. Bondor offers a variety of panel thickness options to suit different storage temperature requirements, ranging from chilled rooms to ultra-low temperature freezers. Builders should consider both the internal volume and expected usage of the cold room to select the optimal layout and specifications. Every project is different, which is why Bondor’s made-to-measure solutions are ideal for custom cold room designs. Whether it’s a compact unit or a large commercial facility, panels are cut and prepared for seamless cool room installation on site.

Prioritise Hygiene with Antibacterial Technology

Cold rooms used in food, medical or pharmaceutical industries must meet strict hygiene requirements. Bondor’s panels are finished with hygienic, easy-to-clean surfaces that resist bacterial growth.
