Cold Storage Warehouse
A Cold storage warehouse is a construction-based warehouse that harnesses cold air from multiple air-conditioned units. These warehouses are used for large storage of perishable products, laboratories, and large plant factories that deliver cold goods such as ice or chemical coolants.
There's No Place So Big We Can't Cool
Cooler and Freezer Warehouses
Our insulated panels are prefabricated modular units designed for fast, easy field assembly, relocation, and future expansion by adding like panels.
Outdoor Walk-ins will include a heavy-duty one-piece membrane roof cap for protection against all weather conditions. Panels consist of interior and exterior metal skins precisely formed with steel dies and roll-forming equipment rigorously checked with gauges for precision. The metal skins are bonded firmly and permanently to the insulation. High-density panels have incredible flexural strength, eliminating the need for perimeter wood framing (old-style construction) still used by some of our competitors.
- Camlock panels
- Foamed in place urethane insulation R-32 / R-40
- 4” & 5" thick panels
- USDA stucco white finish available
- Excellent structural capabilities
- Ideal for large storage projects
GENERAL
Walk-in insulated panels are prefabricated, modular units designed for fast, easy field assembly, relocation, and future expansion by adding additional panels. Outdoor walk-ins will include a heavy-duty, one-piece membrane roof cap for protection against all weather conditions. Engineering may be required in some states; see your salesperson for more information.
PANEL CONSTRUCTION
Panels consist of interior and exterior metal skins precisely formed with steel dies and roll-forming equipment and thoroughly checked with gauges for accuracy. The metal skins are bonded tenaciously and permanently to the insulation.
High-density panels have incredible flexural strength, eliminating the need for perimeter wood framing (old-style construction) still used by some competition. To ensure tight joints, all wall and ceiling panels connect via positive cam-locking mechanisms.
INSULATION
We only use solid-core approved foamed-in-place insulation. The minimum thickness is four inches, which exceeds insulation values (R-32 values) in Federal Energy Standard H.R.6, effective January 1st, 2009, for walk-in coolers and freezers.
Optional: 4" & 5” thick wall thickness available for required applications. Only environmentally friendly expansion agents are used in the manufacture of insulated cores. No energy-robbing structural wood rails are used except where necessary for glass door and window attachment.
METAL FINISH
Standard: Smooth 26 ga. Galvanized silver
Optional: 24 & 22 ga. stainless steel
Optional: Other finishes and gauges available upon request
INSULATED FLOOR
Floor panel construction is similar to that described in the Panel Construction section above, but with a heavier-gauge metal skin. Walking surfaces in open food-approved boxes are stainless steel or aluminum. Galvanized metal is used in closed food applications. Insulated floor panels are designed to withstand uniformly distributed stationary floor loads of 1250, 2500, and 5000 lbs.
Contact your AWIC at for heavier-load requirements and when optional metal finishes are needed.
PANEL FASTENERS
Panel fasteners are cam-action male and female profiles. Panels are fastened to adjacent panels by inserting a hex wrench in small pre-drilled access ports on the male interior side. A clockwise turn of the wrench will activate a cam lever hook to catch a pin in the adjacent panel mechanism and draw the panels tightly together. Access ports are covered by press-fit plug buttons supplied with the panels.
DOOR PANEL ASSEMBLY
Door panel assembly includes UL-listed accessories installed (whenever possible) or shipped loose. The construction and metal finish will match the wall panels. Standard pre-hung entrance door consists of the following features: Two cam-lift self-closing hinges for smooth operation with a built-in hold-open feature; cam-lift hinges allow for non-sweeping closure; door latch; Inside safety release; hydraulic door closure; magnetic gasket; and thermometer. The bottom edge of the walk-in door shall have an adjustable and replaceable wiper gasket. The door panel shall also include a UL-listed vapor-proof interior lamp and junction box for 120V/60Hz/1-phase A/C service (15-amp maximum). For freezer application, pressure relief port(s) will be provided. A variety of door options are available for special circumstances. Contact the factory for details.
INSULATED SLIDING DOORS
A large variety of manual and electric insulated sliding doors are available for both medium and low-temperature applications. Consult AWIC at for details.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS (OEM)
Original Equipment Manufacturer: A complete selection of medium and low-temperature systems is available for indoor and outdoor applications. All fractional fan motors supplied shall be of EC (electronically commutated) and Econet smart coil controller. Contact AWIC for proper selections and specifications.
