Econofrost Night Covers Product Line
A Full Spectrum of High-Performance Covers for Display Cases
Econofrost offers a comprehensive product line tailored to open refrigerated display cases used in supermarkets, convenience stores, and specialty retail environments. Whether you require a retrofit solution like the 9000 Series or a sleek OEM fit such as the 9600 Series, all covers share the same premium woven aluminum construction with polyethersulfone backing and a clear polyethylene coating providing superior reflectivity, hygiene, and flame resistance. These covers are designed to shield products from harmful lights and ambient heat, deliver proven energy savings, reduce shrink, and integrate seamlessly into sustainability and energy management programs across diverse case formats.
Product Savings - Say No to Unnecessary Waste
Econofrost night covers generate more than just energy savings; they are a merchandising component that reduces product spoilage, lowering the impact on the environment, decreasing labour trim time, and most of all saving money. Because at the end of the day isn’t that what it is really all about?
9000 Series Retrofit Cassette Night Cover
The Industry Workhorse with Documented Energy Reduction
The 9000 Series is widely regarded as the industry standard for retrofit night covers. Independently tested by Southern California Edison, it achieves up to 36% energy savings per hour when employed consistently, and retains cooler product temperatures up to 15 hours post-retraction bridging overnight gaps without compromising product integrity. Built for longevity, the cassette features a hydraulic spring-brake assembly tested for 7,000 cycles or approximately two decades of use, making it a strategic yet low-maintenance solution for retailers.
Cutting Department Shrink & Discard Rates
In using Econofrost night covers, grocery retailers have extended the shelf life of perishable items by stabilizing the temperature of the case and product on stored in open refrigerated cases. For the majority of Econofrost customers, the reduction in product shrinkage has been significant and their cost savings considerable.
“Econofrost covers are GREAT! I’ve worked produce for 15 years and know my trade.
Product loss was down 60% after the covers were installed!”
Dana Tompkins – Produce Manager
9600 Series Non-Cassette Night Cover
OEM-Friendly, Low-Profile, and Highly Adaptable
The 9600 Series is optimized for OEM installs or precise retrofit placements under canopies or fascia on new display cases. It maintains the same robust fabric and construction standards as the 9000 while offering a streamlined, non-cassette configuration. Available in standard widths of 4, 6, and 8 feet with a 78 inch drop, it delivers clean integration, preserves case aesthetics, and supports energy and product preservation benefits.
Magnetic, XL, Electric, and Lockable Options

Engineering and Construction Excellence
Woven Aluminum with Hygienic Coating for Durability and Thermal Efficiency

This design resists bacterial growth, is easy to sanitize with mild detergents, resists dirt staining, and remains clean through heavy use. Strategic perforations enable moisture control to prevent condensation, while reinforced edges optimize longevity critical for preserving thermal performance and case hygiene over extensive service life.

Save Product, Sell Product, Earn More Money...
There are thousands of satisfied retail stores currently saving money and energy with Econofrost. However, the value of Econofrost can be profitable for any business, even those that serve supermarket refrigeration cases and for those that manufacturer refrigeration cases (OEM’s).
For many manufacturers Econofrost is the standard rather than the option. Refrigeration service contractors also have the opportunity to benefit from the value of Econofrost as many stores have older refrigeration units that can easily be retrofitted with Econofrost night covers for both energy and product savings.
Econofrost - Your Preferred Night Cover Product!
Econofrost night covers are woven aluminum shades that keep the cool air in commercial refrigerated display cases during hours that the business is closed. By blocking the warm air from infiltrating the display case the night covers also create a thermal barrier that helps keep the cool air circulating in the case. This effective thermal barrier in turn, reduces the amount of work the refrigeration unit has to do to maintain the cool temperature. Thus, it decreases the amount of energy the refrigeration system consumes by not having to work as hard to maintain the temperature. Overall, this reduces the amount of money that a business spends on electricity (saving hundreds even thousands of dollars a month).
Econofrost’s durability also generates more savings for retailers as they were specifically engineered for food retail applications and the intent is for the covers to be a one-time purchase. In addition, to saving energy, Econofrost night covers yield greater dollar savings in product extension and through the lifetime performance and serviceability of the units themselves.
Furthermore, Econofrost night covers also extend the performance and efficiency of the refrigeration system and its components, so retailers are awarded with more cost-effective refrigeration equipment.
Econofrost night covers roll up into an aluminum cassette cover very easily which compliments the store decor. A customer looking for night covers may see them; however, when they are seen their use and objective are immediately understood. The perforations of the aluminum weaving allow any condensation to evaporate which ensures mold or mildew does not form making them easy to keep clean and allowing for added food safety.
Many businesses whether it is grocery stores, convenience stores, delis, meat shops or bakeries, employ open refrigerated cases for the convenience of the customer and for greater display appeal. The drawback for this merchandising method used to be the amount of money that was being discarded in the form of rotten food from food spoilage, commonly referred to as “shrinkage”. This is no longer the case for those stores who have installed Econofrost night covers.
