Modular Construction
A modular construction system is one of the key Kolpak benefits, providing custom design and building of structures that are low cost, easy to maintain and easy to modify or expand.

Modular panels up to 26 feet high can be assembled into virtually any size structure. These panels are available in thicknesses of 4, 5 or 6 inches, filled with energy-saving foamed-in-place fire retardant urethane. The 97% closed-cell structure provides an aged "R" factor of 30.075 at 4" F.l.P. thickness (increased "R" factors may be obtained by using 5" panels). Weather-tested metal skins may be finished in 26 gauge stucco embossed coated steel, galvalume or custom baked enamel color over steel or aluminum and are built to withstand extreme temperature conditions.

Gasketed Tongue and Groove
Gasketed tongue and groove panels with 4 urethane insulation UL flame spread rating of 25 or less with FM approval for Class I Building Construction Tongue sides of panels are provided with double PVC gaskets foamed-in-place to eliminate time-consuming caulking between panels.

Construction Type
Choice of construction type is based on the size of the structure, usage, site conditions and other variables. Three construction types are available:

Suspended - Ceilings are suspended from existing steel support. Ideal for leased buildings or situations requiring a high degree of flexibility. Classified as equipment for tax purposes, rather than a permanent structure, these qualify for investment tax credit and accelerated depreciation. (Consult your tax advisor for complete details.)

Steel structure - Ceiling is supported by a conventional steel framework. Recommended for wall heights over 24 feet. Other determining factors may be: wind load, snow load and the potential for seismic activity. Also used under certain site-specific conditions.

Pallet racking - Ceiling is supported by pallet storage racks, eliminating the need for conventional steel framing. A construction that is both permanent and economical.

Special Features
Kolpak refrigerated warehouses offer a number of advantages. They include:

Posi-Loc - a panel locking system that makes a tight, reliable thermal seal, yet is easy to unlock, adjust or add panels and re-lock. All locking assemblies are foamed-in-place and metal straps may be run through the panel to connect the hook and pin assemblies.

Sturdy door construction which includes a patented fiberglass reinforced plastic door jam on all personal doors, that won't rust, dent, or twist out of shape.

Kolpak manufactures single horizontal sliding doors up to 8' X 8'. These doors are manually operated and match the finish of your cooler/freezer panels.

Kolpak offers an extensive variety of door sections, including...
- Electrical doors
