Frequently Asked Questions
What size of walk-in coolers do I need for a mid-size restaurant?
Base your size on daily deliveries, peak inventory volume, and menu diversity. Most mid-size restaurants benefit from a walk-in cooler between 6x8 and 8x10 feet, but custom sizing is available.
Should I choose a walk-in cooler or a walk-in freezer for my operation?
It depends on whether you store more refrigerated or frozen products. Many operations need both. Brands like Norbec offer combination units that include both a cooler and freezer in one structure.
Can walk-in coolers be customized to fit unusual floor plans or ceiling heights?
Yes. Walk-in coolers from Norbec and Curtis are custom-built to specification, including non-standard widths, lengths, and ceiling heights.
How are walk-in coolers constructed for easy on-site assembly?
Walk-in coolers use modular, prefabricated insulated panels that lock together with cam-lock or clip systems. This design allows for relatively quick installation without major construction.
Which door styles are available for walk-in coolers?
Walk-in coolers are available with hinged doors, sliding doors, and glass display doors. Hinged doors are the most common for back-of-house use, while sliding doors save floor space.
Do walk-in coolers come with CSA certification for Canadian installations?
Yes. Walk-in coolers from major manufacturers sold through Zanduco carry CSA and UL certifications that meet Canadian electrical and food safety requirements.
Are walk-in coolers energy-efficient enough for continuous operation in a Canadian climate?
Modern walk-in coolers use eco-friendly foam insulation and energy-efficient compressors to minimize operating costs. Proper door seals and strip curtains further improve efficiency during frequent access.
