Why Choose a Ventilated Cold Pastry Display?

Digital thermostats maintain HACCP-friendly setpoints (typically 2–8°C) with fast temperature recovery after door openings.
Double‑glazed or heated anti‑mist glass keeps the view crystal clear; LED shelf lighting enhances colour and detail without adding heat.
Stainless‑steel interiors, removable trays/shelves, and smooth corners support fast, hygienic cleaning.
Efficient compressors, quality insulation, and optional night blinds help reduce running costs; UKCA/CE compliant.
Which Models Offer the Best Chilled Presentation?
Countertop patisserie displays: compact, 13A plug-and-play units perfect for tills and kiosks with limited space.
Full-length patisserie counters: curved or flat glass, multi‑tier visibility, and ventilated airflow for uniform chilling from top to bottom.
High‑volume dessert bars and cafés: robust fan‑assisted systems with rapid recovery and optional heated anti‑mist front glass for consistently clear presentation.
Service style: rear‑service for hygiene and speed; front‑service for self‑serve zones where products are protected or packaged.
Practical tips: match shelf clearance to tallest cakes or domes; confirm usable depth for cake boards; check defrost type and condensate management; verify power and ventilation clearances.

FAQs
What temperature should a cold patisserie display run at?
Most patisserie and cream cakes are best held between 2–8°C. Ventilated cabinets help keep temperatures uniform across shelves.
Ventilated vs static—what’s the difference?
Ventilated (fan‑assisted) systems circulate cold air evenly for consistent cooling and fast recovery. Static cooling may suit wrapped items but can create temperature differences between shelves.
Will the glass fog up in a busy café?
Anti‑mist or heated front glass minimises condensation, keeping your display clear during peak service.
Are these units plug‑and‑play in the UK?
Many models use a 13A UK plug; larger counters may be hardwired. Check the product specification.
How do I choose the right size?
Match shelf clearance and depth to your tallest cakes and boards, confirm overall width against your counter plan, and allow the ventilation space recommended in the datasheet.
