1. Cold Room Door Types: Which Door is Used Where?

The first step in making the right choice is to determine the traffic density and heat needs of your business:

●     Hinged Cold Room Doors: Ideal for small and medium-sized warehouses. Provides strong insulation and is easy to install. It is generally preferred in milk warehouses, bakery rooms and meat processing rooms.

●     Sliding Cold Room Doors: It is the most preferred model in high density areas. Suitable for large openings, heat loss is minimal. It is the standard for logistics cold storage and controlled atmosphere warehouse

●     Fast PVC Doors (Fast Door Systems): Used to prevent energy loss in facilities where forklift traffic is very intense. Accelerates workflow in meat processing plants and logistics centers

●     Thermal Curtains: Used as an additional measure to prevent indoor and outdoor air mixing when the door is opened. It increases efficiency especially in shock – rapid freezing rooms

2. 5 Critical Criteria to Consider When Making a Choice

1.   Temperature Range: While standard doors between +10°C and -5°C are sufficient; Doors with heating resistance and special seals must be used in frozen storage rooms between -5°C and -40°C.

2.   Opening Frequency:The mechanism of a door that opens 10 times a day and a door that opens 300 times must be different. High density sliding or fast PVC models stand out.

3.   Material and Hygiene: In areas requiring high hygiene such as meat, fish and dairy facilities, the door surface must be stainless steel (inox).

4.   Insulation Thickness: Door leaf thickness (80mm, 100mm, 120mm etc.) must be fully compatible with the insulation value of the warehouse panels.

5.   Security: There must be an "emergency exit system that can be opened from the inside" (panic bar/arm) to prevent the personnel from being locked inside.

3. Sectoral Door Solutions

●     Freezing – Fast Freezing Rooms:Sliding doors resistant to -40°C, with extra thick insulation and resistance to prevent freezing.

●     Seafood and Meat Facilities: Stainless-surface doors with high corrosion resistance against salt and moisture.

●     Fruit Ripening Warehouses:Special sliding systems with high sealing performance that provide air-tight.

●     Logistics Warehouses:Impact-resistant, wide-span and fast-opening industrial doors.
