When understanding if a freezer or cooler
warehouse building is capable of freezer or cooler storage temperatures this has to be
considered. The floor under the refrigerated portion of the cold storage building has to be inspected to make sure it is capable of accommodating freezer storage temperatures. Freezer storage temperatures range between a +10°F down to -10°F.
The warehouse floor over the refrigerated portion of the building will either contain an
in-floor heating/defrosting system or it will not . If the building was designed
exclusively for freezer warehouse storage, it will have a heating system
underneath the warehouse floor. These
heating/defrosting systems are of various types, but it is designed to not let
the moisture in the ground below the industrial warehouse floor to freeze. Whatever water freezes, it expands and that
expansion of water below the floor will cause the floor to heave upwards and
possibly even result in a structurally unstable warehouse building.
