Cold storage spray foam insulation in Morinville is usually a walk-in or a chilled room built inside a leased unit, which makes it a building within a building, and that changes both the specification and who has to agree to it.
A room built inside a unit you do not own
A walk-in put into a leased bay is a structure sitting on somebody else's slab, frequently fixed to somebody else's walls, and it will still be there when the lease ends. That has practical consequences before any technical ones: what may be fixed to the demising wall, whether the slab can be cut or drilled, and what happens to the room at the end of the term. Those are settled first, because they decide whether the room is freestanding or built into the fabric, and that decides how it is insulated.
Everything around it is at a temperature somebody else controls
A cold room in a shared building is surrounded by space belonging to other tenancies, and the conditions in that space are not yours. A wall that faces a heated unit, a wall that faces an unheated one and a wall that faces outside all behave differently, and the neighbour who determines two of those can change. That argues for treating every surface of a Morinville cold room to the same standard rather than optimising each one, which is the opposite of the advice for a room inside a building under single ownership.
The slab under it is continuous with everything else
The room is built on the existing floor, and that slab runs on underneath the demising walls and out across the rest of the building. Cold moves sideways through it, which shows up as a cold strip on the neighbour's floor and as a room that cannot hold its temperature. Where a room is being built, this is cheap to deal with at the outset. Where it already exists it is the usual explanation for performance nobody can account for from the walls.
The equipment has to put its heat somewhere
A refrigeration system removes heat from the room and rejects it, and in a leased bay there are limited places for it to go. Put the condenser inside the unit and it heats the space the room stands in, which the room then has to work against. Put it on an exterior wall and it becomes somebody else's noise and somebody else's warm air. Deciding that at the design stage is a lease question as much as a technical one, and on a Morinville unit it is worth raising before the room is ordered rather than when it arrives.
Cold Storage Spray Foam Insulation Morinville: The Covering Requirement
Closed cell foam is used in this application because it resists moisture movement as well as heat, which matters where two sides of a surface sit at different temperatures all year. In an occupied Morinville building it is covered by a thermal barrier, and in a food or product room the covering usually also has to be washable, so the two requirements get specified together rather than one after the other.

Cold Storage Spray Foam Insulation Morinville: Common Questions
What if it is going into a leased unit? Then what may be fixed to the walls and the slab gets agreed before the room is designed.
Do all sides need the same treatment? In a shared building, usually yes, because who is next door can change.
Why will the room not hold temperature? Look at the slab. It runs continuously under the walls to the rest of the building.
