Wine Cellar Equipment
Wine Cellar Equipment: What You Need for Your Cellar
When creating a custom wine cellar, you need to be aware of the equipment you will need. Wine cellar equipment ranges from wine cellar cabinets, racks, and cooling systems.
A wine cellar must be constructed like a refrigerator. Installing a cooling system in the wall without converting the room correctly will not work properly and could cause damage to your walls, ceiling and most of all your wine.
All walls must have a vapor barrier and insulation. The interior walls must have a minimum of R-11 insulation and exterior walls must have a minimum of R-19. The ceiling must have a minimum of R-19 insulation. Concrete ground floors need a vapor barrier only (sealed with concrete sealant). Any above ground floors need to be R-19 with a vapor barrier.
The vapor barrier (6mil polyethylene plastic sheeting) must be on the warm side. The warm side means that the vapor barrier is protect from wine cellar (cold side) by insulation. The vapor barrier put on the wine cellar side will cause the humidity to condensate on the barrier and could cause damage to your walls.
After construction, custom wine racks made to fit your cellar space, precision cooling, and elegant wine cellar doors are just some of the wine cellar equipment you will need.
