Spray Cork for Cold Storage Facilities
SprayCork Applications for Cold-Storage Facilities
Cold storage facilities operate under constant thermal stress from refrigeration. SprayCork helps limit heat ingress, manage condensation and protect building surfaces for stable, long-term performance.
Built for Cold-Storage Environments.
Enhance temperature-controlled facilities with SprayCork protection for roofs, walls and external surfaces.
Is SprayCork Insulation Suitable for Cold Storage?
Cold storage facilities operate with continuous refrigeration and large temperature differences between internal and external environments. This makes building envelopes particularly vulnerable to heat ingress, condensation and thermal bridging across roofs, walls and junctions. When warm, moisture-laden air meets cold surfaces, condensation and ice formation can occur, increasing the risk of corrosion, surface degradation and higher refrigeration demand. These issues are widely recognised in cold-storage design as key contributors to increased energy use and maintenance requirements.
SprayCork is a breathable, cork-based insulation coating applied to roofs, walls and façades to help manage these conditions. It forms a seamless, vapour-permeable layer that limits heat transfer while allowing moisture vapour to escape, reducing condensation risk at cold–warm interfaces. By improving envelope continuity and thermal stability, SprayCork can help lower refrigeration load, protect building fabric from moisture-related damage and support long-term performance in cold storage facilities.
25 Year Warranty
Designed to withstand temperature cycling while remaining breathable and crack-resistant.
Lower Costs
Lower refrigeration demand, fewer moisture-related repairs and reduced long-term maintenance.
Why Insulation Matters for Cold Storage Facilities
Heat ingress and condensation within cold storage roofs, walls and ceilings increase refrigeration load and operating costs.
SprayCork is applied directly to cold storage building surfaces to help limit heat transfer, manage moisture at cold–warm interfaces and support stable low temperatures, reducing energy demand and long-term running costs.
Why SprayCork Is Ideal for Cold Storage Warehouses Over Paint or Render
Thermal Stability Under Continuous Refrigeration
SprayCork forms a continuous layer across cold storage roofs, walls and ceilings, helping limit heat ingress and support stable low temperatures in environments operating around the clock.
Condensation and Moisture Control
Its breathable structure allows moisture vapour to escape rather than collect on cold surfaces, reducing condensation, ice formation and moisture-related surface damage.
Reduced Refrigeration Load
By improving envelope performance, SprayCork helps ease pressure on refrigeration systems, supporting lower energy demand and more efficient operation over time.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Protection
Once applied, the coating resists cracking and weathering, helping cold storage buildings avoid frequent repairs and unplanned maintenance disruption.
Weather-Resistant but Vapour-Permeable
SprayCork provides protection against rain, frost, wind and UV exposure while remaining breathable, helping prevent trapped moisture that can lead to corrosion or mould.
Compatible with Cold Storage Substrates
The coating adheres to materials commonly used in cold storage construction, including concrete, steel, brick, render and metal cladding, providing long-term surface protection across the building envelope.

What problems in cold storage buildings can SprayCork help address?
SprayCork can help reduce heat ingress, manage condensation on cold surfaces and protect building fabric from moisture-related deterioration.
How does SprayCork help control condensation in cold storage facilities?
The coating is vapour-permeable, allowing moisture vapour to escape rather than collect on cold surfaces, which helps reduce condensation and ice formation.
Can SprayCork help lower refrigeration energy use?
By improving thermal continuity across roofs and walls, SprayCork can reduce unwanted heat gain, easing the load placed on refrigeration systems.
Which surfaces in cold storage buildings are suitable for SprayCork?
SprayCork can be applied to concrete, steel, brick, render and metal cladding, provided the surfaces are sound and properly prepared.
Does SprayCork replace traditional cold storage insulation panels?
SprayCork is typically used alongside existing insulation to improve envelope performance, rather than as a direct replacement for insulated panels.
Can SprayCork withstand low temperatures and freeze–thaw conditions?
The flexible nature of SprayCork helps it accommodate temperature cycling and reduce surface stress caused by freeze–thaw conditions.
Is SprayCork an environmentally responsible option?
SprayCork is made using natural cork, a renewable material, and supports building performance without trapping moisture within the structure.
