Wall and ceiling panel corner — freezer (t < 0°C)

Corner junction of vertical wall panel + horizontal ceiling panel in a freezer. **Vapour barrier in the corner zone** is critical; OB-01 + OB-02 + 3-layer sealing.

Wall and ceiling panel corner — freezer (t < 0°C)

Junction function

Wall + ceiling corner freezer = analogous to a cold store (p. 16), but with more stringent sealing requirements. The freezer must be fully vapour-tight, because:

  • Water vapour from the warm corridor (+20°C, 70% RH) tries to penetrate into the cold freezer (−25°C).
  • Without a perfect vapour barrier = ice forms within the insulation layer → blow-out of the PIR core upon temperature changes.

Critical installation aspects

  • Vapour barrier (item 05) continuous along the corner, min. 200 mm overlap.
  • Removal of the wall facing in the 0.5×D zone.
  • 3-layer sealing.
