If you're looking to build a Wintelligent walk-in cooler or freezer,
you're in the right place. This guide for building a Wintelligent® with
no floor is going to show you how to do just that.
Click here if you need a step-by-guide on how to build a Wintelligent®
WITH a floor.
Before you grab your block wrench and get started, it's important you
learn how to locate your assembly drawing, handle your panels
correctly, and prepare your site.
Sounds like a lot? Don't worry. The step-by-step instructions laid out
in this guide will help you build your Wintelligent® walk-in cooler or
freezer in no time.
One important disclaimer before we dive in...
All electrical and refrigeration work should be completed by a
licensed and insured electrician and refrigeration contractor.
Alright, let's get started.
The process of building a Wintelligent® with a floor is broken down
into four parts:

Take time to inspect the parts and equipment included in your
shipment. Make sure the order number on the boxes and panels match
the order number on your invoice.
If you discover damaged parts or equipment, take photos and make a
note of the damage on your delivery ticket. Contact your point of sale
for further instructions.
Each panel is individually labeled:
Corner wall panel codes begin with "CWNF".
Wall panel codes begin with "WNF".
Ceiling panel codes begin with "C".
Door panel codes begin with "DR".
The assembly drawing included with your shipment, generally found
inside the door package, demonstrates your panel layout and shows
where each panel goes. This drawing will serve as a reference
throughout the assembly process. Keep it handy.
When handling panels, keep them flat and avoid resting them on the
edges of the corners to minimize the possibility of damaging them.
Stack the panels on an elevated platform if the ground is wet and cover
them with waterproof sheathing if you will be storing them outside.
Use 2 to 3 persons during assembly to avoid mishandling your panels.

Site preparation is key to properly building your Wintelligent®
walk-in cooler or freezer. Make sure the floor space allotted for your
box is level and swept clean of dirt and debris.
An uneven floor could result in a faulty assembly with doors and
panels not sealing properly. If your floor is not level, you will need to
use shims to make it level.
If you are building your cooler inside, adjacent to a wall, leave three to
five inches of space in every direction around your box to allow for
proper ventilation.
Using the assembly drawing as a reference, measure and mark the
outer edge of where the vinyl screeds will go by outlining the
perimeter of your walk-in cooler or freezer with a chalk line. Measure
diagonally in both directions to ensure the measurements match and
all corners are at a 90° angle.

When attaching wall panels to each other, place the bottom of the
wall panel in the vinyl screed before attaching the panels.
Listen for a "clack" sound when attaching panels to each other.
This sound confirms panels are evenly attached. The locks will not
fasten if the panels are not even.
Use two persons when handling and assembling the door panel to
avoid mishandling it. Do not remove the door from the door jamb.
Keep the door closed and locked until assembly is complete.
Save valuable time by reviewing the following "pro tips" before
assembling your vinyl screeds and Wintelligent® panels:
Step 1: Start your vinyl screed assembly in the form of an "L" in the
rear corner closest to a building wall. Apply a bead of silicone sealant
to the bottom of the screeds designated on your assembly drawing and
line them up flush to the chalk line you created. Once in place, secure
the screed into the ground by inserting masonry anchors or screws
approximately every 12 inches.

Step 2: Start panel assembly by inserting the rear corner wall panel
(CWNF1 or CWNF3) into the vinyl screed as per your assembly drawing.
Note: The placement of the rear corner wall panel for your specific cooler or
freezer may differ from the rendering below. Your assembly drawing may
show the rear corner panel goes where the red arrow points below.

Step 3: Work your way toward the front of your box by adding vinyl
screeds and attaching the wall panel adjacent and perpendicular to the
rear corner panel as per your assembly drawing (WNF15, WNF30, or
WNF45). Fasten the wall panels to each other.
Your box should look similar to this:

Step 4: Continue assembling wall panels and vinyl screeds in the
direction of the other rear corner as per your assembly drawing and the
renderings below. This provides stability as you build your box.

Fasten the wall panel to the adjacent wall panel.
Fasten the wall panel to the ceiling panel.
Step 6: Attach the wall panel serving as an end cap to the ceiling panel
(WNF or CWNF on your assembly drawing) to the wall and ceiling panels.

Step 5: Assemble your first ceiling panel by attaching the rear ceiling
panel to the wall panels as per your assembly drawing and the
rendering below. Fasten the ceiling panel to the wall panels.
