Modular panels in cold rooms are used in walls, ceilings or floors. In pharmaceuticals, steel is the preferred material due to its high stability under different environmental conditions.

Insulation
Modular panels are designed to provide maximum thermal insulation. The panels have an insulated layer of either polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR) or expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam between the metal claddings. The insulation helps to maintain low internal temperatures and prevent heat transfer from outside. Uncontrolled temperatures in cold rooms stimulate microbial growth which lead to contamination.
Energy efficiency
Modular panels save a lot of energy due to their high insulation capabilities. This is because the energy required to run Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to maintain low temperatures is reduced.
Fire resistant
Panels with PIR foam as the insulating material are used where fire resistance is critical. The combustion grade of PIR reaches B1 level which is flame retardant. Flame retardants reduce fire intensity and slow down the spread of fire. This characteristic prevents damage of property and gives enough time for occupants in the building to evacuate in case of a fire.
Rapid installation
Cold rooms are mostly used for commercial purposes. Modular panels make it possible to build cold rooms 30-50% faster than traditional construction. This causes minimal disruptions to operations in adjacent buildings and facilities.
Flexible design
Modular panels simplify the disassembly process in order to change the function of the space. They also allow for adjustable palette racking which can be modified to increase storage capacity. Palette racking also simplifies stock and inventory control. Racking also allows for proper airflow around the stored items.
Durability
Durability is the ability of a building to fulfil its functions over a long period of time. Modular panels increase the productivity of resources as the materials can be reused and optimized.
Aesthetics
Modular panels used for ceiling can be used to conceal plumbing, electrical and other utilities above the ceiling panels giving the room an organized look that is pleasing to look at. The panels are also strong enough to support personnel who carry out maintenance works on these units above the ceiling.
