Specialty refrigerators are the cabinets built for one job rather than general storage: wine at cellar temperature, dough at controlled humidity, flowers, dry ageing, medical stock and pizza toppings in gastronorm pans.

The ranges are commercial wine fridges, dry age fridges, flower display fridges, medical fridges and pizza prep fridges.

These are the top FAQs for Specialty Fridges

Why not use a standard fridge?

Standard cabinets hold food-safe temperatures with dry, fan-forced air. Wine, dough and flowers each need something different from that.

For general storage, commercial upright fridges and commercial under counter fridges are the right tools.

Which specialty fridge suits dough?

A pastry or dough cabinet holds trays at controlled humidity; see commercial pastry fridges and freezers.

Proving is a separate job: bread provers.

Do specialty cabinets cost more to run?

It depends on the model rather than on the category, so compare the figures on the product page. What a specialty cabinet does that a standard one does not is hold a tighter temperature band, or control humidity as well as temperature.

Efficient models are in energy efficient fridges.

What about medical and lab stock?

Medical fridges hold tighter temperature bands with alarms and logging.

Frozen specialty storage is in commercial freezers.

Do specialty cabinets need special installation?

Most plug in like any cabinet, but some need specific ambient conditions or drainage. Check the product page, particularly for dry ageing and medical units.

Our installation partner can help where it is not straightforward.

Can I hold wine in a standard commercial fridge?

Only short term. Standard cabinets run colder and drier than wine needs, which dries corks over time. A commercial wine fridge holds cellar temperature and humidity.

Beer and soft drinks are fine in commercial bar fridges.

What makes a dry ageing fridge different?

Controlled humidity as well as temperature, held steady for weeks or months, which is what lets meat age or cure rather than spoil. A standard fridge has no humidity control at all.

Are medical fridges required for vaccines and samples?

Storage requirements for medical stock are set by the relevant health authority and usually require tight temperature control, alarms and logging. A food fridge does not meet them.
