Where do we ship to?

In the United States, we work with a distribution partner, the landscape architects at BYLA. They handle invoicing and door-to-door delivery, but can also provide additional advice. 

This means you purchase the Groundfridge locally from stock in the US. For technical questions, you can contact either BYLA or us directly. 

BYLA charges an all-inclusive price for a complete Groundfridge Original of $24,500, including transport, duties, and VAT.

Delivery within the Benelux region is carried out by trailer directly from our own production facility.  The Groundfridge is delivered on a pre-arranged day. Special transport options are available upon request. 

Within the Benelux, we also have partners who can take care of the full installation. This typically takes 1 day of work.

  • Restaurants

    Between refrigeration and room temperature. In the Groundfridge you will find the optimal temperature for preserving the flavour of most fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, aubergines, potatoes and citrus fruits.

  • Home

    Dry and cool. The Groundfridge provides extra storage space for everything you want to store for a longer period. For example, store your canned jams, oils, honey, and juices dry, fresh, and out of direct sunlight.

  • Jointly

    Make the treats or goods in the Groundfridge available to whoever you want. As a farm shop, in the community garden, or whatever else you can imagine.

Capacity

The total volume of the Groundfridge is 7.8 m3.

Shadow and position

The temperature in the Groundfridge is largely determined by the ground temperature at a depth of 1 meter.

By keeping the door in the shade as much as possible and out of direct sunlight, you also limit heat transfer through this route.

Insulated door

The door is fitted with thick insulation to keep the heat out.

Planting

By planting the soil on and around the Groundfridge correctly, you prevent the sun from directly heating the earth around the Groundfridge.

Additionally, the evaporation of moisture retained by the plants provides cooling.

We have suitable instructions available on how to plant around the Groundfridge.

Solar-powered ventilation

The ventilation runs on solar energy and can be adjusted to your preferences and the season with two buttons.
