From Quote to Cold

Every Arctic walk-in follows the same proven process, from initial consultation to final
installation. Our coolers and freezers are engineered with precision and manufactured to the highest standards in the industry.

A Process Built on Precision

From design to delivery, every step of our process is designed around getting your walk-in right the first time. We combine state-of-the-art engineering software, bi-coastal manufacturing, and factory pre-assembly to ensure what arrives on your site is ready to perform.

Design & Engineering

Our team uses state-of-the-art software to engineer your walk-in to your exact spatial requirements and state regulations, modeling every detail before a single panel is ever manufactured.

Manufacturing

Panels, floors, and doors are manufactured at one of our bi-coastal factories using foam-in-place technology, high-density hard rail construction, and metal skins custom cut to each individual order we receive.

Pre-Assembly & Quality Control

Every unit is pre-assembled at the factory prior to shipping, verifying fit and quality before it ever reaches your site, so there are no surprises during on-site installation and setup.

Shipping & Delivery

With factories on both coasts, we deliver faster than the industry standard, helping to keep your project on track from quote to cold, no matter where your project happens to be located.

Installation & Support

Arctic works with a nationwide installation network, and on-site assembly uses cam locks and a standard 5/16-inch hexagonal Allen wrench for an airtight, vapor-proof seal. For post-installation support, visit our Warranty & Service page for more information.
