EPS coolroom panel cost in Australia — how this estimate works
Planning a cool room or insulated studio and need a fast budget? This EPS coolroom panel cost calculator gives you an instant supply estimate from your room size, panel thickness, door package and roof type. Enter your dimensions above to see the approximate number of wall and roof panels, the billable panel area, and an indicative supply-only price in AUD.
It covers EPS (expanded polystyrene) Z-Lock panels in 35mm, 50mm and 75mm — the same panels we stock for cool rooms, freezers, insulated studios and container fit-outs across Australia. The figure shown is supply only; beams, trims, refrigeration, delivery and installation are quoted separately once we confirm your project.
What affects the price of your coolroom
- Panel thickness — thicker panels insulate better and cost more. Typical R-values: 35mm ≈ R0.96, 50mm ≈ R1.39, 75mm ≈ R2.08. Chillers often use 50mm; freezers and hot climates lean to 75mm.
- Room size — larger footprints and taller walls need more panels; walls beyond the 6m stock panel length need a beam and split panels.
- Roof type — flat, gable, hip or single-slope roofs change panel counts and cutting.
- Doors — the estimate includes an EPS panel door package (2340×820mm $599 or 2040×820mm $499).
- Accessories — floor C-channel, vertical corner channels and ceiling/wall corner angles.
- Delivery & installation — depend on your location and site, and are quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions
How much do EPS coolroom panels cost in Australia?
The price depends on your room size, panel thickness (35mm, 50mm or 75mm), the door package and the roof type. Use the calculator above for an instant supply-only estimate in AUD, then request a quote for exact pricing including delivery and installation.
What panel thickness do I need?
35mm (about R0.96) suits light insulation and partitions, 50mm (about R1.39) is the common choice for cool rooms and chillers, and 75mm (about R2.08) is best for freezers or hot climates. The calculator lets you compare all three.
Is delivery and installation included in the estimate?
No. The calculator shows supply-only pricing for panels, the door package and accessories. Beams, trims, refrigeration, delivery and labour are quoted separately once we confirm your project.
What is the difference between a wall panel and a roof panel?
Wall panels have a flat finish with a Z-Lock join, while insulated roof panels have a ribbed profile with about 1000mm cover designed to shed water. You can use either for a roof, and the calculator estimates both options.
Can I order a custom coolroom size?
Yes. Panels are cut to suit your dimensions, and rooms longer than the 6m stock panel length use a beam with split panels or a custom-panel quote. Enter any size in the calculator and we will confirm the details.
How accurate is the calculator?
It is a quick concept estimate: panel counts are rounded up to full panels and assume on-site trimming. For a firm price and lead time, send us your configuration using Copy Summary or request a quote.
