Custom walk-in cooler and freezer combo installation

WALK-IN COOLERS & FREEZERS

Custom-built cold storage for every application — from a single box cooler behind a restaurant to a 10,000 sq ft warehouse freezer. Custom construction, NSF certified panels, installed by TDLR-licensed crews across Texas.

What We Build

Every PanelTX walk-in starts with insulated panels, a plug door, and a matched refrigeration system — then we size it to your operation. Indoor, outdoor, combination cooler-freezer, or multi-room with shared walls. We stock the panels and doors in Aledo so your lead time stays short.

Standard Walk-In Coolers

35°F–40°F operating range. IMP panel. NSF certified, IBC 2021 compliant. Perfect for restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery back-of-house.

Walk-In Freezers

-10°F to 0°F operating range. 6″ panels for maximum thermal retention. Heated door frames prevent ice buildup. Built for long-term frozen storage in meat processing, grocery, and food distribution.

Combination Cooler-Freezers

Shared-wall designs that give you both a cooler and freezer in one footprint. Independent temperature zones, separate evaporators. Saves space and installation cost compared to two standalone units.

Outdoor & Warehouse Walk-Ins

Weatherproof exterior walk-ins with protective top caps, rain hoods, and diamond-tread ramps. Warehouse-scale builds up to 10,000+ sq ft with pallet racking compatibility. Condensing units matched to your climate zone.

What Separates a Good Walk-In From a Cheap One

Almost every walk-in cooler quote looks the same on paper. The differences show up two years in, and they are nearly always in the same four places.

The floor. Freezers built on grade without under-slab protection will eventually heave and crack. It is the most expensive thing to fix and the easiest thing to leave off a bid, so compare quotes on the floor detail before you compare them on price.

The door. A walk-in door gets opened thousands of times a month, and the hinges, closer, gasket, and anti-sweat heat are what fail first. Heavier hardware costs more up front and less over the life of the box.

The envelope continuity. Cold escapes through thermal breaks — a poorly sealed joint, a penetration nobody detailed, a corner that was field-cut. Continuous insulation and properly closed joints are the difference between a unit that cycles normally and one that runs constantly.

Who answers when it fails. If the panels, doors, and refrigeration came from three suppliers, a warranty problem becomes a negotiation. We build all of it as one scope so there is one number to call.

We size boxes anywhere from a single-door beverage cooler in a convenience store up to warehouse-scale freezer rooms. Tell us the footprint, the temperature, and how often the door opens, and we will spec it honestly.

Walk-In Cooler and Freezer Questions

How long does a walk-in take to build?Panel lead time drives the schedule more than the install does. On-site assembly for a typical box is measured in days, not weeks. We give you a real date before you order rather than an optimistic one.
Can you replace a cooler without closing?Usually. We can stage the demolition and rebuild, and a refrigeration trailer on site can hold your inventory through the changeover. Tell us what has to keep running and we will sequence around it.
Cooler and freezer in one box, or two?A combo unit shares a wall and a footprint and is usually the better value when both are needed. Separate boxes make sense when the two rooms have very different door traffic or need to sit in different parts of the building.
Do you build outdoor walk-ins?Yes. Exterior boxes need a weather-rated roof system, proper flashing, and hardware selected for Texas sun and humidity. We build them regularly for restaurants and processors who are out of interior space.
