Who needs a specialist freezer room?
- 1
Stock that needs sub-zero cold
Meat, poultry, fish and ice cream spoil if the temperature rises even briefly above the required level. A freezer room is built to hold that level continuously, not simply to cool.
- 2
One room, two temperature zones
Large restaurants and hotels usually need a chiller section and a freezer section side by side. We build both wings with separate insulation, independent refrigeration units and an insulated inner door, so neither zone affects the other's temperature.
- 3
Expanding an existing facility
If your current cold room no longer holds all your stock, or you need to add a freezer section beside it, we survey the site and propose the most practical way to expand with as little disruption to your operation as possible.
Who it's for
Opening a restaurant that needs a freezer room
We survey your kitchen and build the freezer room with frost-rated insulation panels, an insulated floor and a tight-sealing door.

What the installation covers
- Freezer-rated insulation panels
- Insulated floor vapour barrier
- Heated frame tight-sealing door
- Evaporator with electric defrost
- Condensing unit temperature controller
How we work
How we work
- 1
Site survey
We visit the site, learn the stock type and required temperature, measure the available space, and decide the right insulation thickness and refrigeration system from what we find.
- 2
Design and supply
We draw the room layout including pipe and cable routes, then have the panels, doors and equipment ready before installation begins.
- 3
Installation and connection
We fit the panels, insulated floor and door, then run and insulate the copper pipes, vacuum the line and pressure-test it before starting the system. Mueller copper in runs of up to 30 metres without welded joints where the layout calls for it.
- 4
Start-up and handover
We run the system and watch the room reach its target temperature, confirm the defrost cycle works and the door seals properly, then explain the controls to the person responsible for the facility.
Specialist install or an unconsidered one?
| Alrabih | The usual way | |
|---|---|---|
| Floor | Insulated with vapour barrier | Plain floor that cracks |
| Door frame | Heated to prevent seizure | Freezes and warps |
| Evaporator | Scheduled electric defrost | Ice blocks the airflow |
| Insulation | Thickness set at survey | Same thickness for every room |
| Anteroom | Buffer zone reduces air ingress | Direct door into freezer |

What sets this district apart
Al Rahmaniyah is a rapidly growing district with commercial clusters, hotels, restaurants and fresh meat and fish shops, all needing reliable cold or freezer storage to protect perishables in the intense heat. The buildings here are newer with wider outdoor spaces, which makes it easier to install the units and evaporators without crowding the premises. Our team measures carefully and positions the outdoor unit so it does not disrupt trade during installation.
Al Rahmaniyah lies in east Jeddah, a zone of commercial growth with hotels, restaurants and specialist retail focused on fresh and frozen products.
Most cold and freezer rooms here are set up outside the shop or hotel, with a single insulated entry and strong electrical connections to handle the compressor's continuous draw.
The AC setup in Al Rahmaniyah
- 1
Separate freezer room for meat and fish
Large restaurants and hotels in Al Rahmaniyah typically need a dedicated freezer room holding below minus 18°C with a periodic defrost cycle.
- 2
Two-zone chiller for mixed perishables
Some large shops prefer a single room with two zones: one for meat at a lower temperature and another for dairy and vegetables at a slightly higher setting.
- 3
Outdoor unit set away from the main entrance
In hotels and large restaurants, we position the outdoor unit away from the main frontage to avoid noise and radiant heat reaching customers.

Measure the space precisely
Tell us the dimensions of the room you want to convert to cold storage, and the position of any entry or windows, so we can design it accurately.
- 2
Decide on the outdoor unit location
Agree with us on the best spot for the outdoor unit (roof, wall, or yard), ensuring enough space and ease of future maintenance.

FAQ
Questions about Cold & freezer room installation
Why does a freezer room need an insulated floor when a chiller often does not?
At sub-zero temperatures the moisture held in a concrete slab freezes and expands, cracking tiles and lifting bases over time. A chiller room operates above freezing, so ice crystals do not form in the slab. A freezer room therefore requires insulated panels under the floor together with a vapour barrier that blocks rising ground heat and protects the structure over the long term.
What is the difference between electric defrost and other types?
Electric defrost uses heating elements fixed inside the evaporator coil; they warm the coil directly and melt frost build-up. Hot-gas defrost instead redirects warm refrigerant from the compressor back through the same coil. The choice between the two depends on room size, the required number of cycles and the type of goods stored; the site survey determines which method suits each installation.
Can two zones at different temperatures share the same footprint?
Yes. A partition of insulated panels separates the space, with each side using a panel thickness matched to its required temperature differential. Each zone has its own refrigeration unit and a door with a heated frame to prevent condensation. This arrangement is widely used in meat and fish facilities that need a chiller zone for short-term stock and a freezer zone for longer storage. The final design depends on the available floor area and the heat load of each section.
Does the position of the condensing unit affect how the freezer room performs?
Position has a direct effect. The condensing unit needs clean air and adequate flow to reject heat; if it is placed in a confined space or near heat sources the condensing pressure rises and the compressor works harder. In Jeddah, outdoor air also carries salt and dust that accumulate on the condenser coil over time. The site survey identifies the best location and the copper-pipe route, keeping each Mueller copper pipe run within thirty metres without welded joints.

The site survey identifies the best location and the copper-pipe route, keeping each Mueller copper pipe run within thirty metres without welded joints.
Does Al Rahmaniyah's humidity affect the cold room performance?
Yes, high humidity and proximity to busy commercial zones increases condensation, so we install robust drainage and a tight door seal to prevent warm air infiltration.
Can the cold room's outdoor unit go on a hotel roof, or does newer construction allow another location?
Newer construction in Al Rahmaniyah offers multiple options for the outdoor unit: roof, external wall or rear yard, depending on the hotel layout and available space.
How long do the copper lines and electrical cables run from the outdoor unit to the room?
The copper and electrical runs depend on the outdoor unit's position and the site layout, so we need a visit to assess the distance and quote accurately.
Do I need a separate electrician, or does Alrabih handle all the electrical work?
Alrabih's team handles all the refrigeration and electrical connections, but if the building needs its main circuits adjusted, we may need to coordinate with the site's main electrician.
