Walk-In Freezer Floor Under-Slab Insulation: Case Study & Guide
Discover how under-slab insulation revolutionizes walk-in freezer energy efficiency. Real-world case study, benefits, and expert insights.
Walk-in freezers are energy hogs, and traditional floor insulation methods can be disruptive and expensive. But there’s a game-changing solution: under-slab insulation.
Real-World Case Study: Forklift-Friendly Freezer Floors
Drilling Injection Holes
Installing Injection Ports
We recently tackled this challenge for a client who needed walk-in freezers in their warehouse but didn’t want the hassle of conventional floor insulation. Their key requirement? Maintaining smooth forklift access between the freezers and the surrounding areas.
Our solution was to inject a specialized hydrophobic, slow-rising foam beneath the existing concrete slab.
Injecting Underslab Insulation Foam
Walk In Freezer On Insulated Slab
This innovative approach delivered:
- No elevation changes: Forklifts moved seamlessly in and out of the freezers.
- Superior insulation: A 1-3 inch layer of closed-cell foam created a full vapor and radon barrier.
- Minimal disruption: No downtime or need to demolish existing concrete.
- Energy savings: The client is now enjoying reduced energy costs thanks to a well-insulated freezer floor.
How Far Can Foam Travel Under a Slab?
Wondering how extensive under-slab insulation can be? In this project, the foam spread an impressive 5-8 feet from each injection point, providing comprehensive coverage and structural support.
Benefits of Walk-In Freezer Floor Under-Slab Insulation
- Energy Efficiency: Significantly reduces energy consumption and operational costs.
- Moisture Control: Prevents condensation and mold growth, improving hygiene and air quality.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains consistent temperatures for optimal product preservation.
- Durability: The foam strengthens the slab and resists degradation.
- Versatility: Ideal for new construction or existing freezers.
Why Choose Under-Slab Insulation for Your Freezer Floor?
It’s a cost-effective, non-disruptive, and highly effective way to maximize your walk-in freezer’s performance. Plus, it’s perfect for situations where traditional insulation methods are impractical.
