Keeping stable temperatures in cold rooms and freezers is vital for protecting stock, securing compliance, and controlling energy use. A major challenge is heat gain through frequently used doorways.
Each time a cold room or freezer door opens, warm air enters, and cold air escapes. This strains refrigeration, increases energy use, and risks temperature changes.
Cold Stop® strip curtains address this problem by creating an insulated barrier at the doorway, while still allowing staff and equipment to pass through easily.
Why Cold Rooms and Freezers Lose Energy
Large temperature differences between inside and outside cause energy loss in these environments.
Staff open cold room doors often for stock movement, picking, and restocking.
When doors open, warm air enters, raising internal temperatures and forcing the refrigeration system to work harder.
Air exchange brings in moisture, leading to ice buildup and increased maintenance.
Without containment, constant air exchange raises costs and lowers efficiency.
What Are Cold Stop® Strip Curtains?
Cold Stop® strip curtains are insulated curtains for cold storage. Unlike standard PVC curtains, they use padded or layered materials for better thermal resistance.
The curtains have overlapping insulated strips, often with clear panels, mounted above doorways. Staff and equipment pass through easily while the barrier stays in place.
Engineered for low temperatures, cold-stop curtains are ideal for chillers and freezers where standard PVC options may not provide sufficient insulation.
How Cold Stop® Strip Curtains Reduce Energy Loss
Cold Stop® strip curtains limit air transfer between environments.
When installed, insulated strips reduce warm-air entry and cold-air loss. This keeps internal temperatures stable, even in busy areas.
Reducing temperature swings also lowers refrigeration load, cuts energy use, and keeps storage conditions consistent.
Improving doorway insulation often noticeably reduces energy use and improves temperature control.
Where Cold Stop® Strip Curtains Should Be Used
Use Cold Stop® strip curtains where temperature control is essential.
Typical applications include:
Cold rooms and chillers: Keep constant chilled temperatures in food and pharmaceutical storage.
Freezer doorways: Block heat and limit ice build-up.
Warehouse zones: Separate temperature-controlled areas from ambient warehouse space.
Food processing and distribution: Meet hygiene and temperature requirements.
Key Benefits for Temperature-Controlled Environments
Cold Stop® strip curtains offer important operational benefits.
They stabilise temperatures by reducing air exchanges at doors, lower energy costs, and minimise condensation and frost, reducing maintenance.
Staff and equipment move easily, so operations stay efficient.
Improve Temperature Control and Reduce Energy Costs
To save costs and meet compliance in cold rooms, chillers, or freezers, control energy loss.
Cold Stop® strip curtains effectively reduce heat ingress, keep stable temperatures, and boost system efficiency without disrupting workflow.
