FAQ
Solid doors offer better insulation, saving energy and keeping items colder longer. Glass doors allow you to see inside without opening the unit, which can be helpful in front-of-house setups or fast-paced kitchens. For back-of-house storage, solid doors are more common. For retail or display purposes, glass doors may be worth the tradeoff in energy.
Top-Mount Compressors - Best For:
- Hot environments (like kitchens with ovens, fryers, grills)
- Greasy or dusty areas (they’re less exposed to floor-level grime)
- Back-of-house use with frequent door openings
- Long-term durability in commercial kitchens
Why? The compressor is placed at the top of the unit, where it stays cleaner and isn’t pulling in hot, greasy air from the floor. Since heat rises, this design also helps reduce heat being pushed into the cabinet when the door opens. It's more reliable in harsh environments.
Bottom-Mount Compressors - Best For:
- Cooler environments (like bakeries or delis)
- Front-of-house or customer-facing use
- Loading heavier items (since the storage area starts higher up)
- Easier access for cleaning and servicing
Why? Bottom-mount compressors pull in cooler air from floor level, making them a bit more efficient in cooler spaces. They also tend to be more ergonomic — your food is stored higher, so less bending for staff.
Look for features that enhance efficiency, durability, and ease of use:
- Digital temperature controls for precise cooling
- Heavy-duty, adjustable shelves for flexible storage
- Self-closing doors to maintain temperature stability
- LED lighting for better visibility and energy efficiency
- Casters for mobility to make cleaning easier
Choosing the right features can reduce maintenance, save energy, and improve workflow.
