What is a cold storage facility?

An unheated warehouse consists of a frame, uninsulated wall panels, and a roof. By definition, it is not insulated. Because trapezoidal metal sheets are inserted into the profiles to form the walls, this type of warehouse is also called a trapezoidal metal sheet warehouse. In contrast to an unheated warehouse, an insulated warehouse is insulated with sandwich panels.

Unheated warehouses are often used as storage facilities. Therefore, they are also called cold storage warehouses. These warehouses are suitable for goods that are not sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Unheated warehouse construction offers protection from the elements and theft.

The profiles can be made of various materials. Aluminum and steel structures are suitable for construction as unheated storage warehouses. Herchenbach builds unheated warehouses from aluminum profiles, which are lightweight yet very stable. This often eliminates the need for a foundation when constructing an unheated warehouse – unlike with steel structures. This significantly reduces the price for both purchase and rental.

What does 1 m² cost?

Cold storage or heated storage

Modular buildings with walls made of trapezoidal sheet metal and a roof made of highly tear-resistant industrial PVC tarpaulin offer many advantages.

The advantages of cold storage facilities

  • The uninsulated Safe+ warehouse is a cost-effective solution, whether you buy or rent.
  • Constructing an unheated warehouse is ideal for storing goods that are not sensitive to specific temperatures during the winter months.
  • Unheated warehouses, available for purchase or rent, are also suitable for goods that are unaffected by temperature fluctuations.
  • Unheated warehouses offer protection against theft and the elements.

Warm hall

  • If temperature is crucial, a hall construction with the insulated Therm+ warm hall made of sandwich walls, available for purchase or rental, is the solution.
  • Unlike unheated halls, insulated halls offer protection not only in summer.
  • Sandwich halls are also easier to heat during the winter months.
  • Insulated halls are therefore ideal as production halls or heated exhibition halls.

For both types of halls, different equipment options are available, including doors and gates, windows and suitable lighting.

Cold storage facility without a foundation

At Herchenbach, we construct our Safe+ cold storage buildings from robust aluminum profiles. These cold storage buildings offer significant advantages compared to steel buildings. Benefit from our company's nearly 100-year history in the construction of modular buildings.

  • Aluminum is very lightweight yet boasts exceptional stability.
  • In many cases, this makes it possible to build unheated buildings without a foundation at a very competitive price. This is not easily achievable with a steel building.
  • With ground anchoring, the cost of the unheated building decreases because no foundation is required. Furthermore, approximately four weeks of construction time are saved per 1000 m² of building area due to the absence of a foundation. Steel buildings, on the other hand, are heavier, so prefabricated steel structures often require foundations.

Cold storage facilities with no permit

Whether you buy or rent an unheated storage building, you will need a building permit after 6 months at the latest. Construction of unheated storage buildings is possible without a building permit for a period of up to 6 months.

  • For over 500 different models of our unheated storage buildings, TÜV-certified structural analyses are already available at a very competitive price. Reduce the cost of your unheated storage building with our modular system.
  • With these structural analyses, the storage building can be erected as a so-called "temporary structure" and used for up to six months without a building permit.
  • After six months, a building permit is required for the unheated storage building.
  • Benefit from our many years of expertise. We are happy to advise and support you regarding building permits.

Doors and gates are suitable cold storage

We offer our lightweight halls for purchase and rental with extensive accessories such as sectional doors; the cost of the cold storage halls depends on these accessories.

  • We offer a variety of gates for our unheated storage buildings, including manual sliding gates, electric roller doors, and electric sectional doors, available for purchase or rent.
  • Doors: In accordance with DIN standards, the buildings must be equipped with emergency exit doors, which we offer in various designs.
  • Lighting for Unheated Storage Buildings: Our roofing, made of highly tear-resistant roofing fabric, is translucent, so no additional lighting is required for our unheated storage buildings (available for purchase or rent) during daylight hours. We offer a selection of lamps for any other lighting needs. Please contact us for a consultation.

FAQs about cold storage facilities

Unheated, lightweight halls, so-called cold halls, are an ideal space solution for companies that need more storage space for non-perishable goods quickly and at a very good price. Cold halls are built as

  • Logistics and distribution center
  • Vehicle hall
  • Material warehouse
  • Aircraft hangar
  • Maintenance hall

Herchenbach builds uninsulated cold storage buildings for rent and purchase as mobile storage solutions, primarily for industry. However, if an insulated exhibition hall or a production hall that needs to be heated is required, a cold storage building is not the right choice. In that case, a heated building with sandwich panels is the better solution.

Do you need to meet specific fire safety requirements for the roof, for example, because you are attaching your cold storage building to an existing structure? Our cold storage building with trapezoidal sheet metal wall cladding comes with a highly tear-resistant, durable industrial PVC roof membrane. We also offer the cold storage building for purchase and rent with a so-called "hard roof." Equipped with a special fiberglass fleece, this cold storage building roof meets all fire safety requirements.
