Floral

Commercial refrigeration solutions engineered for the floral industry.

Overview

Fresh flowers are among the most temperature-sensitive products in the cold storage world. Unlike frozen foods that tolerate a range of sub-zero temperatures or refrigerated foods that store well between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, most cut flowers require a narrow temperature band of 33 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit combined with carefully controlled humidity levels between 80 and 90 percent relative humidity. Deviations in either direction can dramatically shorten vase life, cause premature wilting, promote disease, or damage delicate petals and foliage. International Coolers has developed a line of floral coolers specifically engineered to meet these exacting requirements, serving retail florists, wholesale flower distributors, greenhouse operations, event and wedding companies, grocery store floral departments, and institutional buyers. Our floral coolers combine precise temperature control, advanced humidity management, energy-efficient operation, and attractive display options that help our customers preserve their product investment and present their flowers in the best possible light.

Common Challenges

Precise Temperature Control

Cut flowers require an extremely narrow temperature band of 33-36°F. Standard cooler systems with wider temperature swings can dramatically shorten vase life and damage delicate petals and foliage.

Humidity Management

Flowers need 80-90% relative humidity to prevent wilting and dehydration, but excessive moisture promotes botrytis and fungal diseases. Balancing these competing needs requires specialized refrigeration design.

Product Visibility and Display

Retail florists and grocery floral departments need their cooler to function as both storage and product display, requiring attractive glass door and wall configurations with anti-fog and proper lighting.

Small Space Constraints

Many retail florists operate in compact storefronts where every square foot counts, requiring coolers that maximize storage density within tight footprints and unusual room configurations.

Our Solutions

Glass Door Display Coolers

Double-pane insulated glass doors and walls with low-emissivity coatings, anti-fog heating elements, and integrated LED lighting that showcases flowers while maintaining precise temperature control.

Advanced Humidity Controls

Oversized evaporator coils with low temperature differentials, supplemental humidification systems, and condensate management that maintain the 80-90% humidity levels flowers need without promoting disease.

Compact Custom Units

Modular panel construction in virtually any dimension, including L-shaped, alcove, wall-mounted, and island configurations with adjustable floral shelving systems optimized for vases and buckets.

Precision Digital Thermostats

Digital temperature controllers maintaining setpoints within plus or minus one degree Fahrenheit, with adjustable fan speeds and gentle airflow patterns designed specifically for delicate floral products.
