Right-sizing thickness reduces compressor load and lifetime running costs. Use this as a starting point — our team will validate for your room size, ambient heat and duty cycle.
| Application | Target Temp | Recommended Thickness | Panel Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Café / Deli Chiller | 0–5 °C | 50mm EPS | Z-lock Wall Panel | Best value for low-traffic cool rooms |
| Commercial Cool Room | 2–8 °C | 50–75mm EPS | Z-lock Wall + Roof Panel | Go thicker for hot ambient or high door cycles |
| Butcher / Grocer | 0–4 °C | 75mm EPS | Z-lock Wall Panel | Hygienic steel skins suit food-contact environments |
| Cold Storage Room | −5 to 0 °C | 75–100mm EPS | Z-lock Wall + Roof | Thicker panels reduce thermal cycling |
| Freezer Room | ≤ −18 °C | 100–125mm PU/PIR | PIR Panel | Reduces icing risk and compressor runtime |
| Pharmaceutical / Pharma | 2–8 °C | 75mm EPS / PIR | Clean Room Panel | Non-porous skins, sealed junctions required |

EPS vs PU vs PIR — Which Core for Your Commercial Build?
The right foam core depends on your target temperature, compliance requirements and budget. Here's a clear comparison.
| Feature | EPS (Cool Room Masters) | PU / PIR (Premium) |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal performance (per mm) | Very good — excellent value for cool rooms | Higher R-value per mm (ideal for freezers) |
| Best temperature range | 0 °C to −10 °C (chillers & cool rooms) | −18 °C and below (freezer rooms) |
| Food safety | ✓ Non-porous skins, food-grade | ✓ Non-porous skins, food-grade |
| Fire behaviour | Use correct detailing and skins | PIR offers improved fire performance |
| Cost | ✓ Best $/m² — most affordable option | Mid to premium pricing |
| Availability | ✓ Adelaide stock, cut-to-length | Longer lead times, order basis |
| Best for | Chillers, cool rooms, cold storage, food retail | Freezer rooms, compliance-critical sites |

Installation Best Practices
Follow these steps for a fast, airtight commercial refrigeration panel install that performs for years.
Prepare the Substrate
Level the floor and walls. Install vapour barriers where required by your engineer or building code. A flat substrate prevents thermal gaps and panel stress.
Engage Z-Lock Joints Fully
Ensure Z-lock profiles engage completely along the full length of each panel join. Partial engagement creates air leaks and thermal bridges — the biggest cause of cool room underperformance.
Seal All Penetrations Immediately
Use food-safe silicone or PU sealant at all wall/floor/ceiling junctions, pipe penetrations and door frame perimeters. Seal as you go — don't leave it to the end.
Fit Channels & Trims
Install aluminium C and L channels at all internal corners and exposed panel edges. Channels provide structural support, a hygienic finish and help maintain seal integrity over time.
Commission & Record Baseline
Once complete, run the refrigeration unit and record baseline temperatures and energy consumption. Use this as your benchmark for ongoing performance monitoring and maintenance planning.

FAQ: Commercial Refrigeration Panels
Common questions from food businesses, builders and cold-chain operators across Australia.
What are commercial refrigeration panels made of?
Commercial refrigeration panels consist of an insulating foam core — typically EPS (expanded polystyrene), PIR or PU — bonded between two steel skins. The foam core provides thermal resistance (R-value) while the steel skins offer structural rigidity, a hygienic surface and weather resistance. Cool Room Masters supplies EPS core panels with Z-lock interlocking joints for fast, airtight cool room construction.
What is the best panel thickness for a commercial cool room?
For most commercial cool rooms operating at 0–8 °C, 50mm to 75mm EPS panels provide the best balance of thermal efficiency and cost. For high-traffic doors, hot ambient climates (like South Australia summers) or freezer rooms at −18 °C or below, increase to 100–125mm PIR. Our team can validate your thickness spec based on your room footprint and duty cycle.
Are Cool Room Masters panels HACCP-compliant and food-safe?
Yes. Our EPS commercial refrigeration panels feature non-porous steel skins and sealed Z-lock joints that prevent moisture ingress and bacteria build-up — suitable for butchers, grocers, bakeries, food manufacturing and pharmaceutical cold storage. We recommend food-safe silicone sealant at all junctions for full hygiene compliance.
Can I get commercial refrigeration panels cut to custom lengths?
Yes — cut-to-length is a standard service. Provide your room dimensions and we'll cut panels to spec, minimising on-site waste and speeding your installation. Contact us with your measurements for a fast quote including cut panels and delivery.
Do you deliver commercial refrigeration panels across Australia?
Yes. We stock panels at our Adelaide warehouse and arrange delivery nationwide — including South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. We also offer installation support across major metro areas. Contact us for a delivery quote to your location.
How much do commercial refrigeration panels cost in Australia?
EPS coolroom panels typically range from $40–$75 per m² depending on thickness (35mm, 50mm, 75mm), finish and quantity. For a firm delivered price including cut-to-length service, visit our online shop or contact our team directly for a project quote.
Can I upgrade or repair an existing commercial cool room?
In most cases yes. We can supply replacement panels in matching thickness, compatible aluminium trims and upgraded door seals to improve the thermal performance and hygiene compliance of your existing commercial refrigeration setup. Contact us with photos of the damaged sections for a repair quote.
