The floor of the cooler is an important part. The best possible insulation is achieved when the systems are installed on a level, concrete floor. If you currently have a wooden floor, you can choose to replace it with another type of insulated floor, rather than pouring concrete. Contact your local health department to see if they require certain finishes for your walk-in floor.

Coolers usually come in stock sizes. But there are a lot of options, so you can choose one that suits your space and needs. If you work with a unique space, you can have a custom refrigerator for an extra charge.

Proper maintenance will keep your walk-in operating reliably and effectively. Try to avoid propping the door open, and turn off the lights every time you exit the cooler. Don’t stack items around the coil, as it needs plenty of air flow. Talk with your restaurant equipment service team about regular inspections and tuneups to keep it in top condition.

We do not recommend building your own walk-in, because it may seem like a good way to save money by not having to pay for labor. It is not easy to install a walk-in if you have never done it before and you may not install it up to your local health departments required codes. Save yourself the trouble and have a professional install your walk-in.
