The choice of material was partially based on its lighter weight and ease to take apart and move to new locations. On the other hand, the floor is now dented from the wheels of carts with heavy loads. There are special mats available for freezer floors. These mats can help protect the floor from distortions and help air circulation by keeping objects slightly off the floor.
I hope this information helps!

Aluminum is easy to manipulate, cut, etc., and will likely be less expensive than stainless steel. If there is an appreciable difference I would like to know. What does your supplier say? It is not a good idea to come up with RFQ requirements until you have asked some suppliers for their input. I would suggest you concentrate on performance guarantees, and work with a supplier that understands your specific demands for efficiency, target temperatures, leakage, reliability, etc. js Jerry Shiner Keepsafe Microclimate Systems www.keepsafe.ca [email protected] +1 800 683-4696 Providing a suite of services and environmental control solutions for museums and archives, including control of humidity, oxygen and temperature. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Angela Duckwall > Sent: April-09-13 12:17 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [pestlist] Stainless vs. aluminium freezer box > > > This is a message from the Museumpests List. > To post to this list send it as an email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Hello all, > > The Textile Museum is developing the the specs for a walk in freezer > at our new facilities.
