Cool room panel pricing

What drives the price.

We don’t quote fake per-metre numbers — panel pricing moves with your spec. Here’s exactly what pushes it up or down, so your quote holds no surprises.

Honest answer: a real price needs your core, thickness, size, facing and location. Two “cool rooms” can differ 2–3× in cost. Size the job below, then get a live quote from Cool Room Master — no guesswork.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Why isn’t there a price per square metre?

Because it would be misleading. Core, thickness, facing and freight change the rate substantially. A quick spec gives an honest number instead of a headline rate you can’t rely on.

What’s the cheapest way to build a cool room?

EPS core at the minimum thickness your temperature allows, standard facings, and a simple rectangular layout. The calculator helps you avoid over-ordering.

Is PIR worth the extra cost?

For freezers and tight wall build-ups, yes — you get more R-value per millimetre. For a standard chiller, EPS usually wins on value.
