Glass Sandwich Display Cabinet

[Windsor123]

Hello Everyone,

I need to build my own chilled cabinet!
I have just bought a Bakery that needs a total refurbishment - this is penciled in for the Christmas shutdown, but right now i need to carry out some improvements ASAP. I can cover the cosmetic work as im a former shop fitter and i trained as a bench joiner, but i dont know anything at all about fridges...
Problem: Sandwiches currently displayed in window without any cooling! I want to build a glass cabinet 1900mm long, 600mm deep, 600mm high - c/w internal shelf to fit the space i have available, but i need to know how to cool the unit. The cabinet would get very little direct sunlight and could be built with sliding doors at the rear or hinged, etc. I have no problem at all in constructing any type of cabinet (any pointers welcomed) - but cooling it, no idea........Can anyone help, or is this a daft idea?

Cn be done I guess but it will need to be planned out. it may end up costing more than a cheap display cabinet off Ebay !

Where abouts in the Uk are you?

Hi,
I know ebay has some cheap units, but none will fit...
Im in Windsor Berkshire.
The unit i can build, but how to cool? Is there a 'kit' i can buy or do i build my own kit?
Thanks for the reply

Hi,
Why not just get a glass door upright fridge and use window for items that don't require refrigeration.

Building a refrigeration cabinet is more specialised. You need to consider air changes, type of insulation, water vapour seals etc. You will save yourself time agravation and electrical energy. If you buy a self contained (complete with refrigeration system)cabinet from a reputable manufacturer. Talk to your local refrigeration contractor he should know the best place to buy or he will be able to handle the purchase and installation himself.
