Commercial Floral Refrigerators in Toronto & Canada
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.
What temperature should a floral refrigerator hold?
A floral refrigerator should hold a steady 33°F to 38°F (0.5°C to 3.3°C) — cold enough to slow a cut flower's respiration and keep stems fresh longer, without dropping into a range that risks chill damage on more sensitive blooms. Our True Refrigeration GDM-FC series holds this range across every size in the collection, with a self-contained system and LED lighting that doesn't add heat to the case the way older fluorescent lighting can. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks single, double, and triple-door floral refrigerators all built to the same reliable range.
How do I choose between a single, double, and triple door floral refrigerator?
A single-door floral refrigerator, 25 inches wide in our lineup, suits a small flower shop or a grocery floral counter with a modest daily selection. A double door case at 54 inches covers most mid-size florists with room for a broader arrangement lineup, and a triple door unit at 78 inches gives a high-volume florist or supermarket floral department enough display space to avoid restocking mid-shift. Phoenix Food Equipment carries all three sizes from True Refrigeration, so you can match the case to your counter space.
Should I get swing or sliding doors on a floral refrigerator?
Our 54-inch double door and 78-inch triple door floral refrigerators are both available with swing or sliding doors. Swing doors open outward for full, unobstructed access to every shelf, but need floor clearance in front of the case to open. Sliding doors save that clearance by moving side to side instead, which suits a tighter florist counter or a high-traffic spot near a doorway or aisle. Phoenix Food Equipment offers either door style on both sizes, so you can pick whichever fits your shop layout.
