Improving Hygiene Standards with Commercial Kitchen Partitioning

Learn how our steel partitions helped to organise our client’s food preparation space in London.

Challenge

In Southfields, Kokodoo, a premium Korean fast food chain, needed a partitioning solution for their food preparation space in London. As the installation was within a warehouse kitchen, intended for use in preparing food and sauces for various restaurants, they required the help of our experts to specify the ideal industrial partition for that environment – something that could handle the heat of a busy food prep space.

Solution

We began the project by evaluating our client’s needs; what were they looking to achieve? How could their steel partitions support their day-to-day tasks? Did they have any design requirements? Along with the measurements taken from their workplace, we specified the perfect system.

This was a full height (measuring 5 metres), single skin steel partition. Our client opted for a clean and bright white colour that enhanced the level of hygiene and overall commercial design of their industrial space. The flush side of the partitions was installed inside the kitchen, providing a seamless integration with the existing warehouse design.

During their initial technical site survey, certain existing building elements such as pipework and services were identified. Measurements were taken and these allowances were added to the technical drawing so that we could avoid any potential hiccups when it came to installation. To accommodate the building’s infrastructure, we incorporated several subtle cutouts into the partition’s design.

Finally, we added double doors within their steel partition walls, providing an access point to their kitchen. Integrated within the doors were vision panels (VP), providing visibility whilst maintaining privacy.

Key Single Skinned Partitioning Features

•  White Finish – Our single skin steel walls are available in a variety of colours, including the popular bright white that our friends at Kokodoo chose.
• Double Industrial Door – In this steel partitioning system, we integrated a double door for convenient access to and from the kitchen space.
• Made-to-Measure Design – We supplied the steel partitions made-to-measure, ensuring it was the perfect fit for their workplace and avoiding any delays to their installation.

Outcome

Kokodoo’s steel partitioning installation transformed their warehouse kitchen, improving levels of hygiene by creating a barrier between work zones to prevent contamination. The team now operates in an environment that has been optimised for producing exceptional food, setting a new benchmark for hygiene excellence in industrial kitchens.
