Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal temperature for a walk-in freezer in a Canadian foodservice operation?
A walk-in freezer should maintain temperatures at or below \-18øC to meet Canadian food safety standards. Most commercial models are designed to operate well below this threshold.
How does a walk-in freezer differ in construction from a walk-in refrigerator?
Walk-in freezer panels use thicker insulation to handle the greater temperature differential. Doors are also heavier duty with heated frames to prevent ice buildup.
Can I combine a walk-in freezer with a walk-in refrigerator in a single structure?
Yes. Combination walk-in units with a shared wall between the freezer and cooler are a popular, space-efficient option. Norbec specializes in these custom configurations.
Which walk-in freezer brands are available for custom orders in Canada?
Norbec and Curtis both offer custom walk-in freezer solutions designed to your exact specifications, including non-standard sizes and door configurations.
Do walk-in freezer panels use environmentally friendly insulation?
Yes. Modern walk-in freezer panels from Curtis use Ecomate foam, which has zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential, meeting current environmental standards.
Should I install floor panels in a walk-in freezer?
Floor panels are strongly recommended for walk-in freezer installations. They provide insulation from the slab and prevent frost heave, which can damage the structure over time.
Does a walk-in freezer add significantly to utility costs?
Energy costs depend on size, door frequency, ambient temperature, and insulation quality. Well-insulated walk-in freezer models with efficient compressors keep costs manageable even in continuous Canadian operation.
