Type of Cold Room: Coldroom Floor Refurbishment

A focused, low-cost refurbishment of an existing school catering coldroom, renewing the floor’s working surface with a fitted aluminium treadplate overlay while retaining the insulated flooring beneath.

Specifications

  • Project Type: Coldroom floor surface refurbishment within an existing enclosure.
  • Preparation: Existing flooring prepared and low-level perimeter trims removed before fitting the new surface.
  • Floor Overlay: Fitted aluminium treadplate overlay covering the specified footprint, forming the new exposed wearing surface.
  • Trims & Threshold: New perimeter trims and a matching threshold plate at the doorway.
  • Retained: Existing coldroom enclosure and insulated floor left in place.

Client Requirement

The works called for a new overlay to the school’s existing coldroom floor, covering a specified footprint. Our scope included preparing the existing flooring and removing the low-level perimeter trims before fitting the new surface. For school catering teams and facilities managers, this illustrates a practical refurbishment option: where the existing insulated floor is suitable to retain, its working surface can be renewed with an overlay tailored to the room.

Our Solution

The finished work brings the floor surface, perimeter junctions and doorway threshold together as one refurbishment package. The existing coldroom enclosure and insulated floor remained in place, with the new overlay forming the exposed wearing surface. This project shows how Scandia supports refrigeration contractors and catering sites with repairs tailored to the condition and layout of an existing coldroom. The scope can focus on the part that needs attention, with the floor finish and its surrounding details considered together.

“What impressed us most was the advice before we placed the order. Scandia asked the right questions and helped us work toward a solution that suited the site, rather than simply quoting what we first had in mind. Their guidance really took the project where it needed to go. You can tell their wealth of experience across the company. The finished installation has worked well for us.”
