Cold storage rooms are essential for preserving perishable products and ensuring the cold chain. That is why choosing the right cold storage door is a strategic decision that must ensure optimal insulation capacity, high durability, and functional use.
At Kavidoors, we offer a wide range of technical solutions adapted to the specific needs of each installation. Below, we present the key criteria you must take into account when choosing the model.
Thermal insulation: a key factor
Insulation is essential to maintain a constant temperature and avoid energy losses. Our doors are equipped with panels featuring a core with high fire resistance and long-term thermal stability.
The panel finish includes a 0.6 mm thick steel sheet with baked polyester coating, which provides antibacterial, water-repellent, and anti-corrosive properties.
Choosing the thickness according to the application
The thickness of the door must be selected based on the type of cold room :
Opening systems according to use
Our doors are available in hinged or sliding versions, manual or automatic, depending on working conditions.
- Hinges with ramp: allow smooth and silent opening thanks to an integrated slope in their design. They are especially suitable for large or heavy doors, as they reduce the effort required to open them and limit mechanism wear.
- Hinges without ramp: designed to offer great stability and robustness. They are recommended when the door needs rigid support and high mechanical resistance.
- Sliding guide systems: doors slide laterally along a guide rail, thus freeing up floor space. Ideal for confined spaces or when optimization of usable space is required. Kavidoors has a patented anti-fall guide system, ensuring smooth opening without the risk of the door leaf detaching.
High-performance closing systems
A proper closing system in a cold storage chamber is essential to maintain the correct internal temperature and prevent cold air leakage. If the closing system is not efficient, it may cause thermal leaks, increase energy consumption, and negatively impact the preservation of stored products.
The reliability and safety of a hinged door depend largely on the quality of its key components: locks and closing mechanisms. At Kavidoors, we specialize in offering high-performance components for hinged doors, including locks and closing systems, as well as a variety of other essential elements.
All our locking systems are made from high-quality and durable materials and are designed with precision to guarantee smooth operation and an exceptionally long service life.
In addition to the closing system, it is important to consider the presence of quality gaskets. Gaskets, also known as seals, are strips made of very flexible PVC. Gaskets are available in different profile types, usually with double chamber. Some are specific for sliding doors and others for hinged doors. Gaskets are placed around the door to provide a special seal. These help prevent air infiltration and maintain the internal temperature of the chamber.
Specific door materials
Depending on the sector and door usage, some materials will be more optimal than others.
- Stainless steel: It is the most popular thanks to its corrosion resistance and great durability. It is easy to clean and maintain, which makes it the preferred choice of manufacturers.
- Aluminum: Also widely used thanks to its lightness and strength. It is the ideal material when the weight of the door is a relevant factor. Aluminum is only used in the frame and casing of the door, but never for the door leaf, as this is a characteristic of the panel, which comes in 6 mm steel.
- Reinforced polymers: For passage doors or separation of rooms (inside or outside cold chambers), we use polyethylene, but these are not doors for sealing a cold storage chamber.
Kavidoors doors can be configured with different materials and qualities both in leaf finishes (stainless steel option) and in hardware, depending on the expected frequency of use.
Why choose Kavidoors?
Our industrial cold storage doors are designed in accordance with the most demanding standards in hygiene, safety, and energy efficiency. They are available in manual or motorized versions, adapting perfectly to environments such as food, logistics, healthcare, or food service.
