Windows are an essential option in many walk-in cooler and freezer applications, but they can also become a source of environmental maintenance problems. While the benefit of being able to view operations or product, or safely operating the door in a crowded situation, is obvious, windows can leak cold, be a source of energy loss, and cost a bundle of money in energy costs.

R-Plus Doors offer windows starting at 14” x 14”, and can be manufactured in many custom sizes depending on the application requirements. The window glass is a 1” triple pane tempered insulated unit. The durable aluminum frame has a thermal barrier built into it to diminish cold transfer. This attention to design and detail in windows matches our work on our doors.

A clear view is required to maintain the safety benefit of a window, which is why we offer windows which are not heated, or windows with just heated frames, or both the frame and glass heated. These heating options meet the need for walk-in cooler and freezer requirements as well as environmental chambers used for pharmaceutical and other industries.

These windows match the thickness of the doors and walls, ranging from 3 1/2” to 5 1/2” thick, and are adjustable to meet nominal variations in thickness, so you get a perfect fit every time, a fit that seals out heat and keeps food and other product at the optimal temperature. The standard windows are rated to -20 degrees F, but lower temps are available to meet the needs of specialized applications.

Custom sizes, both smaller and larger, are available on request. The larger sizes need to be carefully reviewed in order to ensure the integrity of the door.

Each window frame can be finished to match your door or wall finish, even paint color matching is available. Specialized options meet different industry design requirements:

  • environmental chamber designs using Air Flow wall designs so air can pass between the glass panes
  • clean room designs that with flush framing to avoid ledges that collect dust
  • security designs with locking security panels, wire screens and see-through polycarbonate panes, and light-blocking window covers, providing an additional measure of product safety and security

The right window completes a walk-in cooler or freezer design for each specific application, providing safety and security benefits that protect product quality and help contain product loss.
