A climate-controlled residential wine room is carefully designed and constructed to facilitate long-term wine storage as well as provide an elegant and comfortable space for entertaining.  This recently completed custom wine cellars Naples Florida project features a combination of a wine storage room and a wine tasting area.

Most of the components in this wine cellar project are entirely made of reclaimed wine barrels, from the wine racking down to the wine cellar flooring.  Using recycled oak wine barrels is an environmentally friendly approach to wine cellar construction.  Reclaimed wine barrels are given a new lease on life turned into unique and sustainable products, which can enhance the appearance of any living space.

Custom Wine Racks and Wine Barrel Flooring

The wine racks are constructed from Vintique reclaimed wine barrels with a natural finish.  The curved display appearance of the racking system allows wine bottles to be displayed cork-first.  The natural characteristics of the oak wine barrels bring out a distinct aroma and diversity in coloring coming from the wines previously stored in them.

Wine Barrel Flooring

The floor covering comes from stave wine barrel flooring that displays hoop impressions from removed metal staves that once kept the wine barrels intact.  Matching countertops were also constructed from a cooperage barrel, which features the label and insignia of the corresponding winery.  The distinctive markings on wine barrels create a one of a kind appearance in a wine cellar space.

The Wine Tasting Room

The spacious entertainment and wine tasting room are isolated from the actual wine storage room.  The Italian Renaissance feel of the tasting area is enhanced by a large Italian painting and baroque ornaments, such as the heraldic shield and epees on the wall, and the gothic chandelier.  The wine tasting room includes a long table with 10 velvet cushioned chairs, a cabinet with a glass stemware rack, a cooperage tabletop and a cigar humidor with glass panels.

The wine storage area has a large tempered window that faces towards the entertainment section of the wine cellar.  The glass window provides a clear view of the wine collection, as well as of the stunning interior of the storage space.

A Barolo style wine cellar door with heavy distressing seals the wine cellar entryway.  A wine cellar door is an important component of storage space because its presence helps keep the desired climate conditions for aging wine collectibles from fluctuating.

An efficient wine cellar door must have weather stripping all around the jambs and a retractable door seal unit at the bottom.  Maintaining a tight seal prevents the cool air from escaping out of the wine room.

Wine Cellar Refrigeration System

Consistent and stable temperature and humidity level is vital to the proper aging of wines.  The right type of wine cellar refrigeration system ensures that the ideal wine storage environment is achieved.  For this custom wine cellars Naples Florida project, the builders installed a 6000s cooling unit by CellarPro.  A remote control unit and display panel were mounted outside the wine room for easy temperature monitoring.

The evaporator unit was installed above the large glass window, while the condenser was located outside the home.  The units were connected by a line set consisting of electrical wiring and copper tubing.

The overall wine room design was in tune with the Italian style architecture of the home.  The addition of a custom wine cellar space to this elegant home complemented its opulent and luxurious appearance.

Glass Wine Cellar Doors – Important Component in Wine Storage

Custom Wine Cellar Door by Wine Cellar SPecialists

Custom Wine Cellar Door by Wine Cellar Specialists

The entryway door of a wine cellar space is an important component of proper wine storage.  It helps maintain the ideal climate conditions for storing and aging wines by keeping cool air in and warm air out.  Regular doors are not suited to the task of securing the climate-controlled environment of a wine room.  Hence, wine cellar doors should be manufactured from premium-grade materials and must have superior sealing quality.

When building a wine cellar, you should not overlook the critical function of the wine cellar door. Otherwise, the quality and taste of your wines will be compromised. This should be a major concern especially if you are a wine store owner.

Why Wine Cellar Door Matters 

If you think that any door would do as long as it conforms to the style of your wine cellar, think again. A plain wooden or glass door may put your wine collection at risk since they lack the necessary components. Harmony is important to achieve a modern residential wine cellar design in your Texas home, but style and consistency are not the only reasons why you should be picky with your wine cellar door. 

For instance, a regular door without weatherstripping will allow the air to pass through the slats. Uncontrolled humidity will sacrifice the integrity of your wines.  

Your electric bill may also take a hit if you have a wine cellar refrigeration system installed as the cold air will escape through the small openings around the door.

Wine Cellar Door Types 

Probably most wine cellars you see are fronted by doors with lovely designs but there is more to them than a mere attraction. Wine cellar doors are made to secure the wine room’s temperature and they come in different types: wood, glass, and steel.

Wood Wine Cellar Doors 

Mahogany, pine, and redwood are the typical choices for wine door cellars. Their sturdiness and flexibility account for their popularity among residential wine collectors. If you are a minimalist, you can have a plain all-wood door or combine it with glass. If you like to spice it up a bit, you can have your favorite artisan carve it to add elegance and style. 

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a wood material that had several thin wood layers that will not shrink or warp easily. This provides better insulation, is stronger, and is more durable. 

Classic Glass Wine Cellar Doors

The glass used for wine cellar doors is different from a regular glass material. It has to be thicker and air-tight with insulation. The classic glass wine cellar doors are double pane with thermal panels to ensure that the temperature inside the wine room is well-regulated.  

Another beneficial aspect of insulated glass is its low heat emissivity, which is responsible for reducing heat transfer through glass panes.  Low-E glass helps prevent exposure of wines from damaging ultraviolet rays.  This feature also minimizes energy costs, because it reduces the amount of cooling energy required to maintain the desired wine cellar environment.

Wrought Iron 

Entryway doors with wrought iron allow for stylish, intricate patterns that lend a romantic appeal. Wrought iron, although commonly used for decorative purposes, can also be an additional security feature. In some cases, an iron door is mounted separately in front of a classic glass wine cellar door.  

Galvanized Steel Door 

Galvanized steel doors are heavy-duty and corrosion-proof and rust-resistant. Commercial establishments commonly use this type of door to protect their large stock of wines. These steel doors often have insulated cores and are watertight sealed with durable locks and other security features.

Another beneficial aspect of insulated glass is its low heat emissivity, which is responsible for reducing heat transfer through glass panes.  Low-E glass helps prevent exposure of wines from damaging ultraviolet rays.  This feature also minimizes energy costs, because it reduces the amount of cooling energy required to maintain the desired wine cellar environment.

Elements of an Efficient Wine Cellar Door  

Wine room doors are made from a combination of various elements.  

Insulation 

Insulated glass provides efficient protection against condensation.  Insulated glass units are comprised of two or more glass panes that are hermetically sealed along the sides, leaving air space in between.  The sealed air space creates a thermal break that improves the thermal performance of the glass material. 

Double glazed and insulated glass is sealed with silicon adhesives that provide the material with excellent structural integrity.   

Soundproofing 

Another advantage of using insulated glass units is their soundproofing properties.  Noise and vibration can stir up sediments inside a wine bottle that can negatively impact the development of its taste and flavor. 

Weatherstripping 

To effectively maintain the right amount of temperature and humidity inside a wine room, custom wine cellar doors should have weather stripping on all four sides and along their jambs.  The weatherstripping is a synthetic rubber material applied to the door’s jambs to tightly seal the door.  Entrance doors to a wine enclave should also include an automatic door bottom that will help prevent cool air from escaping. A door sweep is often installed at the bottom of the door to keep the slat sealed. 

This Barolo Door is a Great Combination of Glass and Wood    

Classic Glass Wine Cellar Door: A Beautiful Barolo Door
A perfect example of a classic glass wine cellar door is the Barolo door made of black-stained alder wood with dual-pane glass. Wine Cellar Specialists created this eight-feet tall door in full glass and solid wood combination complete with weather stripping, an automatic door bottom, and interior and exterior case molding.  

The Barolo door is a crowd-favorite and one of Wine Cellar Specialists’ basic standard doors. Like standard wood door types, it is manufactured in Laminated veneer lumber. With a black stain and lacquer finish, the simplicity of it blends evenly with the classic-modern theme that not only the wine cellar showcases but the entire home as well.  

Barolo-style doors with glass inserts are flexible, which is why it is popular among wine cellar owners. Some people mix it with elegant etchings or bevels for added appeal. Whether you are going for an unfussy, majestic, rustic, or fusion, the Barolo door will appease your creative taste.     

Aside from this, the company also makes wine cellar doors in four types with common features: wrought iron, wood-based, stainless steel, and bronze. You can see more wine cellar door designs when you visit our project page.

High-Quality Door Designed and Constructed by Master Builders of Custom Wine Cellars

Your wine cellar door plays a vital role in achieving the ideal conditions needed by your wines to age gracefully. It also helps enhance the aesthetic appeal of your wine cellar. Therefore, it is crucial to seek the help of a professional like Wine Cellar Specialists. Our team designs and manufactures stylish and high-quality custom wine cellar doors.

The Role of Custom Wine Cellar Doors: What You Must Know

An ordinary door is not recommended for wine rooms equipped with a wine cooling system. Custom wine cellar doors must be constructed and installed by a knowledgeable builder. At Wine Cellar Specialists, we have an in-depth understanding of the significant role of doors in achieving the ideal wine storage conditions and aesthetic appearance that the client desires. 

The primary purpose of a wine cellar door is to seal the door opening so that you are able to effectively maintain the temperature and humidity levels inside the wine cellar. When constructed properly, it will prevent air leakage, preventing temperature fluctuations and varying humidity levels. It will also prevent your wine cooling unit from working too hard to reach the optimum conditions.

LVL Technology: Why We Use it in the Construction of Custom Wine Cellar Doors

Wine Cellar Specialists uses exterior-grade custom wine cellar doors to ensure safety and efficiency. We use LVL technology in manufacturing our durable doors. A door made with LVL* construction is extremely good for wine cellars. The LVL* construction not only adds better insulation to the door but is less likely to ever warp due to the high humidity in a wine cellar.

*Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It offers several advantages over typical milled lumber: it is stronger, straighter, and uniform. It is much less likely than conventional lumber to warp, twist, bow, or shrink due to its composite nature. It is made in a factory under controlled specifications.

How We Make Sure Our Custom Wine Cellar Doors Can Function Effectively 

All of our custom wine cellar doors are manufactured using high-quality materials. They must be exterior grade to withstand the high humidity in refrigerated wine cellars. We construct them with a 3.75-inch thickness.  

Any door chosen with glass must be dual-paned tempered glass. A single pane glass will not provide the insulation you need, and you could have condensation issues arise. Even with thick, single-paned glass, this can happen. Always choose a dual-pane glass.

Other details for a wine cellar door have also to be considered. The bottom of the door is where most wine cellars have the coldest air loss. You can help to eliminate this by including an automatic door bottom for your door. Weather-stripping also needs to be added all the way around the jamb to seal the edges. Additionally, your wine cellar doors must have proper jambs and casings in order to close and seal the cellar effectively. While planning your wine cellar design, do remember to plan for casings, hardware, and hinges for the wine cellar doors. You may even want to add sidelights.

Options for Custom Wine Cellar Doors

We offer various styles and materials for custom wine cellar doors to suit the specific requirements of our clients. We have pre-hung doors and custom doors. Custom wine cellar doors are highly recommended for those who want to incorporate their own design to create a unique entryway to their wine cellar.

If you prefer to have the door constructed in a simple yet classic pattern, you can choose a glass door with square glass, arched glass, tri-panel, or top panel glass. Alternatively, you may opt for more intricate designs that stand out and make the face of your wine cellar exude a romantic and stylish appeal.

Such wine cellar doors can be in wrought iron or with wrought iron grills and elaborate embellishments.
