This guide breaks the process into manageable steps, with tips to help you avoid common sizing mistakes and ensure the final design fits the business's space and workflow.
This web-based tool allows anyone to build a fully customized walk-in cooler or freezer and see it in 3D before submitting for pricing or consultation.
The configurator helps users create custom layouts, visualize options, and streamline early design conversations. It eliminates the back-and-forth that often occurs when dimensions, door placement, or floor types are unclear. For multi-unit operators, it also becomes a straightforward way to maintain consistent walk-in specifications across multiple locations.
Start by selecting your choice of a cooler, freezer, or combo, then choose interior dimensions and floor options based on your space and workflow.
After selecting the walk-in type, the configurator guides you through entering your dimensions. You can choose from standard sizes or enter custom measurements. As you adjust the width, depth, and height, the 3D preview updates immediately, allowing you to confirm that the footprint works in your space.
Consider how this walk-in fits into your daily operations. Door placement influences traffic flow. Ceiling height affects airflow and clearance. For combo units, ensure there’s sufficient room for two separate temperature zones. Since the tool is free, users can try a few layouts before selecting the best match.
Adjust door direction, add visibility options, and choose flooring and accessories while the 3D model updates instantly.
This section allows you to tailor the walk-in to how the kitchen actually operates. Door swing can be reversed to avoid blocking equipment. Windows help teams see inside before entering. Flooring, ramps, and thresholds can be adjusted to accommodate operators rolling carts, carrying pans, or loading bulk items. Shelving packages can also be added to map out the interior workflow.
Thermo-Kool’s 3D Configurator gives operators, designers, and reps a simple way to design custom walk-in coolers and freezers in minutes, reducing the friction and guesswork that often slows projects down.
Seeing these changes reflected in the 3D model helps identify design conflicts early. It’s common for users to test multiple door orientations or shelving setups to find the one that feels intuitive for the team on the ground.
Use the 3D viewer to rotate, inspect, and download a spec PDF, then save or submit your design for pricing or guidance.
When the design looks right, the configurator gives you tools to review everything in detail. You can rotate the model, zoom in on specific areas, and check interior clearances. A downloadable file summarizes all specs and selections. For chains or growing concepts, configurations can be saved and reused as templates.
There's also the option to have your design sent directly to Thermo-Kool, where a specialist reviews measurements, confirms feasibility, and follows up with pricing or recommendations. Many users complete the whole process, from beginning to end, in less than ten minutes.
Thermo-Kool’s 3D Configurator simplifies a process that often feels more technical than it should. By combining a visual interface with customizable details and quick submission tools, it provides operators, designers, and representatives with a clear path from idea to an actionable walk-in plan.
Whether you’re building one unit or many, the configurator helps eliminate guesswork, speed up decision-making, and create walk-ins that support the way your kitchen works every day.
The configurator reflects real Thermo-Kool panel construction, door options, and dimensional standards. It’s accurate enough for early planning, and all specs are verified before quoting.
No. It’s free and requires no login, which makes it easy to get started immediately.
Yes. You can save designs and reuse them as templates, which is especially useful for chains trying to standardize cold-storage layouts.
A Thermo-Kool specialist reviews the configuration, checks for accuracy, and follows up with pricing or recommendations based on your operation’s needs.
