Being highly insulating, these two types of shelters are used to insulate the rear part of the van against the building, including the two portions that always remain open, between the two opened doors (hinged doors) and the sides of the VAN. A great thermal insulation is obtained by this type of shelter that is composed by three perimeter cushions. They are used only in the deep cold stores.
