Vapor Barrier Integriyt

Vapor barrier integrity: Building robust solutions for low-temperature facilities

At the core of our services is the solid focus on vapor barrier integrity. Our installations are executed with precise attention to detail, constructing vapor barriers that afford uncompromising integrity, especially in low-temperature environments that can reach temperatures as severe as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

We specialize in the installation of insulated panel walls, roofing systems, doors, and ductwork to create an integrated structure capable of maintaining vital temperature controls. Our approach ensures that your facility performs optimally, safeguarding the products stored within.

Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) Installation: Elevating Standards in Building Envelope Services

Stellar offers unmatched services in the installation of Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs), which are crucial in achieving exceptional levels of energy efficiency and durability. Through thorough evaluations of our clients' operational needs, we determine the most suitable types of doors and materials.

We assess various factors, including:

  • Activation methods
  • Budget constraints
  • Space clearances
  • Heat and humidity conditions
  • Frequency of door use
  • Safety requirements and unique operational routines

Our range of IMP installation services features panels in diverse colors, finishes, and dimensions, all compliant with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards. Relying on our status as the largest purchaser of IMPs in the U.S., with nearly 6 million square feet installed in the past five years, we can offer competitive pricing that keeps your project within budget without compromising quality.

The employment of IMP ductwork brings remarkable benefits, including enhanced air quality, increased energy efficiency, and improved durability. Most importantly, the seamless, sanitary finishes of IMP walls promote food safety and facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance, which is essential for compliance with industry regulations.

Low Temp Doors (1)

Key considerations for low-temp door activation methods

When selecting the optimal activation methods for doors, several crucial factors must be considered to ensure efficiency, safety, and compliance with your specific needs. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate these considerations:

  1. Budget Constraints
    Evaluating the financial impact of various activation methods is essential. It's important to balance cost-effectiveness with functionality, ensuring you get the best value without compromising on quality.
  2. Space Clearances
    Assess the space around your doors to determine the most suitable activation method. Limited space might require compact or specialized solutions to maintain smooth operation without causing obstructions.
  3. Heat and Humidity Conditions
    Environmental factors such as heat and humidity can affect the performance of door activation systems. Opt for methods and materials resistant to these conditions to ensure long-lasting reliability and prevent malfunctions.
  4. Frequency of Door Use
    Consider how often the door will be used daily. High-traffic areas may benefit from automated systems designed to withstand frequent use, whereas manual or semi-automated solutions might adequately serve less busy doors.
  5. Safety Requirements and Unique Operational Routines
    Every facility has its own set of safety standards and operational routines. Ensure the activation method you choose aligns with these requirements, providing secure and efficient access while accommodating your operations' specific needs.

By carefully considering these elements, you can make a well-informed choice that improves both the functionality and safety of your door systems.

Freezer Floors

Preventative maintenance: Ensuring longevity of freezer floors

Preventative maintenance is vital for the longevity and reliability of freezer floors. At Stellar, we understand that frost heave is often an insidious threat to the integrity of freezer flooring systems. Regular maintenance of your underfloor heating system is fundamental for maximizing lifespan and preventing potentially devastating outcomes.

Neglected systems can lead to frost accumulation in subgrade soils, which may result in raised and cracked floors. These not only create safety hazards but can also disrupt operations and even lead to severe structural damage. Promptly addressing frost heave is crucial; the longer these issues are left unattended, the greater the risk of escalating damage.
