Who needs a new cold room?

  1. 1

    Restaurant or bakery expanding its store

    Your current storage cannot hold the quantities you need, or you are relying on domestic fridges that are not up to the job. A purpose-built cold room keeps ingredients at a steady temperature and cuts waste caused by temperature swings.

  2. 2

    Pharmacy or clinic needing medical storage

    Medicines, vaccines and sensitive medical supplies need a temperature that does not shift when the door opens or when Jeddah's summer heat peaks. We build the room to suit that use and choose the condensing unit after the site survey.

  3. 3

    Warehouse or grocery starting from scratch

    You are fitting out your premises and want a cold room built in from the start, or you want to convert part of a warehouse into one. The site, the daily stock volume and how often the door opens all shape the right specification, and we work that out with you at the survey.

Who it's for

  • Opening a bakery and need ingredient storage

    We survey your allocated space and build a cold room sized to your daily production volume, from insulated panels to the temperature controller.

  • Your clinic needs a room for medicines and vaccines

    We build a cold room to the specification that medical and pharmaceutical stock requires, and select the condensing unit after a site survey to confirm temperature stays steady.

How we work

How we work

  1. 1

    Site survey

    The technician visits, measures the available space and asks about your stock type, quantities and daily use to set the room dimensions and the capacity the unit needs.

  2. 2

    Panels and door

    We fit the insulated wall and ceiling panels and seal every joint, then hang the cold room door in its frame and check that the seal presses evenly on all four sides.

  3. 3

    Cooling unit and pipework

    We mount the condensing unit where it has enough air, fit the evaporator inside the room, and run Mueller copper in runs of up to 30 metres without welded joints, fully insulated to reduce heat gain.

  4. 4

    Vacuum, start-up, handover

    We vacuum the copper line and test joints before starting the unit, then set the temperature controller and confirm the room reaches the target temperature before handing over.

What sets this district apart

Al Zuhur is a modern, developed residential district with apartment blocks, medical centres, clinics and specialist pharmacies. Buildings here are contemporary with strong roofs and foundations, offering flexibility in outdoor unit placement. Medical needs in this area demand higher precision in temperature and humidity control to protect medicines and supplies. Intense summer heat and daily fluctuations mean the cold room must maintain very steady conditions, possibly needing an advanced control system with remote temperature reading.

Al Zuhur lies in modern north Jeddah, a district of contemporary residential buildings and medical centres.

Medical cold rooms here are typically small to medium with very precise temperature control and alarm systems for any temperature deviation.

FAQ

Questions about Cold room installation

How is the right cold room size worked out?

Size depends on the type and quantity of stock, how often fresh goods come in and how many times the door opens each day. These factors together set the dimensions and the cooling unit capacity needed, which is why we do not suggest a size before the site visit.

Where does the condensing unit go in a restaurant or warehouse?

The condensing unit needs enough air around it, distance from heat sources and a spot a technician can reach for servicing. We decide the best location at the site survey based on the building layout and how the space is used.

What happens to my stock if the power to the room cuts out?

A well-insulated room with a tight door holds its cold for a limited time if the door stays shut, and longer the thicker the insulation and the better the seal. So we choose the panel thickness and the door seal with care, and set the controller to raise an alarm when the temperature rises, so you can act before stock spoils.

What is the difference between this room and a freezer room?

A chiller room works above freezing and suits vegetables, medicines, dairy and baked goods. A freezer room works below freezing and needs thicker insulation, an insulated floor, a heated door frame and a defrost system. If you need freezing or a combined room, we offer that as a dedicated service.

Can a cold room be installed in a rented space without major structural changes?

In most cases yes. Insulated panels are assembled inside the existing space without demolition or construction work, and the condensing unit is fixed in a suitable spot the technician identifies at the survey. Ceiling type and building ventilation may affect the details, and we confirm those after seeing the site.

Must a clinic cold room meet specific isolation standards?

Insulation standards depend on the medicines and supplies stored and how long they must stay chilled. We visit, review your clinic's requirements, and specify appropriate insulation.

Do extreme summer temperatures here affect cooling efficiency?

Yes, extreme heat and humidity increase cooling load. We select an appropriately sized outdoor unit and thicker insulation to minimise heat transfer into the room.

Can temperature be monitored remotely on a phone?

Yes, we can install a modern control system with remote temperature reading and alerts if conditions drift outside the range.

Sensitive medicines need specific humidity levels, how do you manage that?

Some medicines need humidity control alongside temperature. We discuss your specific needs and can add a humidifier or dehumidifier if required.
