Building better, together.

D&B Thermal is a national contractor specializing in cold storage construction, temperature-controlled facilities, and insulated metal panel (IMP) installation for industrial and commercial environments. Cold storage is where we built our reputation. High-performance insulated metal panel systems are what we deliver across industries.

About D&B Thermal Company

No shortcuts.
No missed details.
No expensive surprises later.

From freezer warehouses to manufacturing plants and distribution centers, we design and install thermal envelope systems that perform exactly as intended.

We partner with developers, owners, and general contractors to design and build cold storage warehouses, food processing plants, and refrigerated distribution facilities that perform exactly as intended — on day one.

Proven Performance

Built for Industrial Cold Storage & Temperature-Controlled Facilities

For more than 30 years, we’ve led complex cold storage construction projects — environments where moisture control, vapor protection, and thermal performance are non-negotiable.

That expertise now supports a broader range of facilities using insulated metal panel systems, including:

  • Industrial manufacturing facilities
  • Distribution centers
  • Cold storage warehouses
  • Freezer warehouse facilities
  • Refrigerated distribution centers
  • Meat & food processing plants
  • Breweries & beverage production
  • Pharmaceutical & controlled environments
  • Industrial manufacturing & logistics
  • Food-grade and non-food industrial builds
  • Any project requiring high-performance IMP systems

From 10,000 sq ft facilities to 100,000+ sq ft distribution centers, our team delivers precision-built thermal envelope systems for clients operating at every scale. If your project relies on insulated metal panels, airtight detailing, and durable thermal envelope integration — we’re the right partner.

Our experience includes national brands, major processing operations, and high-volume distribution environments where performance is critical.

Avoid costly mistakes

Planning a New Cold Storage Facility?

Early thermal envelope planning prevents the most expensive failures. Let’s review your project before construction begins.

Why Thermal Envelope Performance Matters

Most long-term cold storage issues begin long before a facility opens.

Condensation & Moisture Infiltration

Moisture inside wall or ceiling systems compromises insulation, sanitation, and structural durability.

Vapor Barrier Failure

Gaps or discontinuities in vapor protection lead to energy loss and long-term building damage.

Frost Heave & Underfloor Freezing

Without proper underfloor insulation systems, slabs can shift and crack under operational conditions.

Thermal Bridging

Missed transitions around columns, penetrations, and structural connections reduce efficiency and lifespan.

D&B Thermal designs and installs industrial building envelope systems that eliminate these risks — protecting your facility, your product, and your investment

Decades of experience

30+ Years in Cold Storage & Industrial Construction

D&B Thermal began over 30 years ago supporting local food producers, breweries, and processing facilities that depended on reliable cold storage to operate.

Today, we deliver nationwide cold storage construction and thermal envelope systems for industrial clients across the United States — from regional operators to large-scale distribution and processing companies.

We’ve grown in scale, but our approach hasn’t changed.

We are structured. We are detail-driven. We understand risk. And we build facilities that perform.
