Cold Storage Roof Systems for Optimal Performance

A well-designed cold storage roof system is crucial for maintaining optimal performance in cold storage facilities. This is because cold storage roofs are exposed to harsh weather conditions and extreme temperature fluctuations.

To withstand these conditions, cold storage roofs are typically made of durable materials such as metal or concrete, which can support heavy loads and withstand snow and ice accumulation.

A properly designed roof system can also help reduce energy consumption by providing adequate insulation and preventing heat transfer.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels are designed to withstand sub-zero temperatures, with a thicker than normal polyurethane foam core reaching 100 mm for high-performance cooling rooms.

This unique design allows for the highest thermal insulation in the United States, making it ideal for cold rooms and laboratories.

The panels feature a special geometry of 3 frets that increases the resistance of the panel, ensuring that thermal leaks are minimized.

A special airtight joint is incorporated into the installation system to protect the union between panels and prevent heat or cold from passing through.

The ridged surface of the panels provides resistance to the freezing chamber and allows for light filtering, making it a versatile solution for various applications.

Cold storage buildings require specialized design and construction to maintain reduced interior temperatures. This is especially true for buildings that need to store products at very specific climatic conditions, even reaching negative degrees.

A key consideration is the insulation of the roof, which should be designed to minimize thermal leaks. The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels have a thicker than normal polyurethane foam core, reaching 100 mm for high-performance cooling rooms that reach sub-zero temperatures.

The installation system for these panels is the same as standard roof panels, but they incorporate a special airtight joint to protect the union between panels and avoid thermal leaks.

The design of the panels also includes a special geometry of 3 frets that increases the resistance of the panel, making it the highest thermal insulation on the United States.

The ridged surface of the panels provides resistance to the whole of the freezing chamber and allows them to withstand light filtering.

Cold storage buildings are broadly classified as large space coolers (>32ºF) or freezers (<32ºF), and they can be used for various applications, including food processing plants, holding facilities for refrigerated or frozen foods, horticultural buildings, and warehousing for pharmaceutical products.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels have a very low price, considering that they can be installed without the need for accessories or heavy machinery.

Insulated roof panels are a crucial component in maintaining a refrigerated environment in cold storage buildings. They come in various thicknesses, ranging from 80 to 150 mm, with an average foam density of 40 kg/m.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels have a special geometry of 3 frets that increases the resistance of the panel, making them ideal for high-performance cooling rooms. These panels also have a thicker than normal polyurethane foam core, reaching 100 mm for optimal thermal insulation.

The thermal insulation properties of these panels are impressive, with a thermal transmission coefficient of 0.15 K/W/m for a 150 mm thick panel. This is significantly better than other types of insulation. The panels also have a low weight, with a weight of 14.7 kg/m for a 150 mm thick panel.

In terms of installation, the panels have the same installation system as standard roof panels, but with a special airtight joint to protect the union between panels and avoid thermal leaks.

Here are the average thickness, thermal transmission coefficient, and weight of the panels:

These panels are also fireproof, with a rating of C-S3-D0 for PUR and B-S2-D0 for PIR. This makes them a safe choice for cold storage buildings.

The Cold Storage Roof is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, with insulation thicknesses ranging from 50 to 100 mm to adapt to project requirements.

This unique design allows for airtight joints between panels, making it ideal for intense areas like cold storage or freezing rooms, where maintaining an ideal temperature is crucial.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels have a fire resistance classification of C S3 D0 / B S2 D0, and a rigid insulating core made of polyurethane foam.

Condensation is a significant risk in cold storage buildings, forming when air within or against building materials can no longer hold additional moisture at a given temperature – a condition referred to as the dew point temperature.

Heat moves from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures, creating conditions governed by temperature that lead to condensation.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels are built with two metal plates and an internal rigid layer core made of polyurethane foam that expands to 40 kg/m.

These panels can be manufactured in thicknesses much higher than usual, making them suitable for various construction projects.

We can adapt to your needs, regardless of the size of your development or the number of square meters.

The panels have different insulation thickness options, ranging from 50 to 100 mm, to meet the required level for your project.

The standard color is Pyrenean White, but we can develop more colors under order and production.

Installing the panels has its advantages, including total protection and comfort against extreme temperatures.

The panels have 3 frets that create an airtight joint when assembled, making them ideal for intense areas like cold storage or freezing rooms.

This joint is created by bolting the sheets together, with the screw penetrating directly to the existing structure.

The Cold Storage Insulated Roof Panels are recommended for projects where the cold room or fridge storage room is outside or in contact with an external surface.

The panels have a fire resistance classification of C S3 D0 / B S2 D0, and a rigid insulating core made of polyurethane foam.

Cold storage buildings pose unique risks due to extreme temperature differentials between interior and exterior environments. This clash can lead to condensation, a common problem not typically seen with conventional roof systems.

Condensation forms when air within or against building materials can no longer hold additional moisture at a given temperature – a condition referred to as the dew point temperature.

Relative humidity is a measure of how much water vapor is in the air compared to how much it could hold at a specific temperature, much like a sponge that can hold more water when it's dry than when it's wet.

Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air, so even if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same, the relative humidity will be higher on a warm day than on a cold day.

Heat moves from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures, which can cause condensation to form in cold storage buildings.

High interior humidity can cause significant problems in cold storage buildings. Many storage facilities are maintained at high relative humidity (>70%).

Condensation arises from conditions governed by temperature, so it's essential to understand how heat moves from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures. This heat flow can cause a pronounced temperature gradient across the roof's insulation layers.

In cold storage buildings, the prevailing heat flow is from exterior to interior, making the top of the roof assembly generally warmer than the metal deck below. This heat flow can lead to a water vapor gradient being established by the insulation itself.

Sealing the facility from air movement is the most important consideration when designing cold storage facilities roofing systems. Water vapor can't move through the roof system to the cold building interior and condense if it never makes its way into the roofing system.

A vapor drive is established from exterior to interior due to the prevailing heat flow and the fact that warm air holds more moisture than cold air. This vapor drive can be mitigated by the roof deck or an additional vapor barrier applied over the underlayment/deck.
