Overview
The 35mm EPS coolroom panel (2.7m, Z-Lock) is the preferred choice for DIY cool room builders and tradespeople fitting standard ceiling heights. At just 35mm thick, each 2.7m panel is light enough for one person to lift and position — no crane, no forklift. The Z-Lock interlocking edge joins panels flush with no exposed screws, giving a clean finish straight off the install. Suitable for cool rooms and chillers holding 0°C to +8°C.

The DIY Cool Room Panel
The 35mm 2.7m panel strikes the balance between reach and handling — long enough for a standard-height room, light enough to work with solo. Combine with the full 35mm Z-Lock range for returns and corners. Need more insulation? Step up to our 50mm or 75mm range.
Installation Notes
- Confirm your cool room’s target temperature — 35mm EPS suits 0°C to +8°C applications.
- Engage Z-Lock fully along each run; a rubber mallet helps seat tight joins.
- Seal all junctions (corners, floor/ceiling) with closed-cell foam tape for airtightness.
- 35mm panels can be cut on-site with a circular saw or hand saw — lightweight and easy to manage.
FAQs
Is the 2.7m panel suitable for a DIY cool room?
Yes — the 35mm panel’s light weight makes it one of the easiest cool room panels to install without specialist equipment. The Z-Lock profile means panels can be seated by hand with a rubber mallet and require no special fasteners along the join.
What ceiling height does 2.7m suit?
2.7m panels suit rooms with a finished internal height of 2.4m to 2.6m — you get the coverage you need with a small off-cut at the top. For heights above 2.7m, consider our 3m panels.
Can I mix 2.7m and 2.4m panels on the same build?
Yes — all 35mm Z-Lock panels share the same 950mm cover width and profile. You can combine lengths on the same wall run or use different lengths on different walls without any mismatch.
What temperature range is 35mm EPS suited for?
35mm EPS (R ~0.88) is designed for cool rooms and chillers holding 0°C to +8°C. For freezers or sub-zero applications, we recommend 50mm or 75mm EPS. Contact us if you need help specifying the right thickness.
