What sort of materials can we use in cold rooms to keep food in best condition?
Cold rooms are essential in catering businesses, such as supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, kitchens, etc., to keep food products in perfect condition.

To get the best performance in cold rooms, regular maintenance is necessary. One of our racks advantage is that maintenance is very easy, to clean hygienically as they have no metallic pieces, nothing can rust
We should avoid any product that includes materials that could rust over time, such as iron, as this would risk the hygiene required in these areas and contaminate the stored product.
Since the EEC hygiene standards are getting stricter, some of the materials used in the products to store in cold rooms have been replaced for others to ensure hygiene standards required
One of them is PVC, which is ideal for cold room storage racks. Its use is very simple and its maintenance is almost null, with a damp cloth is enough.
In Decoplastic, we use a first quality PVC that resists all kind of detergents to achieve its disinfection in case it is required. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. With plastic custom-made PVC plastic shelving, every inch is utilised
What equipment can we have in the cold rooms?
We are aware that, in cold rooms, we have to use a material that, in addition to guaranteeing hygiene, can withstand temperatures below zero, which is why PVC is the perfect ally for this purpose. Hence, the use of this material for the manufacture of equipment. PVC is also resistant to acids, grease and above all moisture.
