FAQ's
The cost of building a walk-in cooler typically ranges from$5,000 to $20,000+, depending on size, insulation thickness, refrigeration system, flooring, and installation complexity.

There is no functional difference between a walk-in cooler and a walk-in fridge. Both terms are used interchangeably in the U.S. market to describe a temperature-controlled cold storage room designed to hold food, beverages, flowers, or perishables at above-freezing temperatures (typically 35°F–38°F). “Walk-in cooler” is the more common industry term.
A properly installed and well-maintained walk-in cooler typically lasts15–20 years. The insulated panels often last longer, while refrigeration systems may require replacement or major servicing after10–15 years, depending on usage, environment, and maintenance frequency.
The best flooring options for walk-in coolers are non-slip aluminum tread plate, quarry tile, or sealed concrete with thermal insulation. Flooring must be durable, moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and compliant with local health codes. In high-traffic environments, reinforced insulated floors are strongly recommended.
Yes, floor drains can be installed in walk-in coolers and are often recommended for foodservice and floral applications. However, they must be properly insulated and trapped to prevent freezing, odors, or heat loss. Drain installation should always comply with local plumbing and health regulations.
To prevent cross-contamination, raw meats—especially poultry—should always be stored on the bottom shelf in sealed containers. This placement ensures that raw juices cannot drip onto ready-to-eat foods stored above, in accordance with FDA food safety guidelines.
A walk-in cooler should be maintained between35°F and 38°F (1.7°C–3.3°C). This temperature range keeps food safely cold without freezing and helps slow bacterial growth while preserving product quality.
