Question:
We are designing a basement kitchen in central London with extremely tight access. Are any members aware of any flat pack refrigeration products (upright and counter fridges) that may be suitable? Thank you.
Replies:
- I know Valera do a range of flat pack upright and counter refrigerated cabinets. Single, double and triple uprights. 2, 3 and 4 door counters.
- Desmond from Middleby.
- Only people that I know of now are Valera, others used to but don’t seem to any longer. Clearly whilst Valera are a good company, they won’t be the same quality as a Precision or other similar brands.
- Desmond refrigeration Via Middleby does flat pack units.
- I think that Valera do a range where the compressor section comes off, and I know you can take the compressor section out of a William’s counter. But to be honest if you spoke to a refrigeration company then am sure they could come without the compressors etc… which to be honest is the weight on these things.
- Happy to assist. Both Fosters and Valera do flat packed refrigeration. Please pass on my details: Geoff Edwards – Ceba Solutions (ceda Member). Email: geoff@cebasolutions.co.uk Mobile: 07483 414158
- Very niche! Found these (not UK) but may be able to ship to UK – not sure! At least there are companies who do that kind of thing! https://totalcommercialequipment.com.au/desmon-flat-packed-fridge.html
- Not 100% sure, but I felt DESMOND refrigeration from the MIDDLEBY group, can be purchased as self-assembly option.
- I would look at coldrooms as with a basement it will also mean high temperatures, so I’d go remote application. I’ve not seen the site but I’d give careful consideration to adding heat source to a basement.
- I believe Valera do flat pack uprights & counters.
- Valera offer these – P32 of their new catalogue.
