Introduction A lot of people want to build a personal wine cellar in their houses. There are so many things to take care of in the process. A poor construction could lead to damp issues. The material used should also not be wrong to avoid weather condition issues. Maintaining the cellar temperature and humidity (50-50 degrees/ 50-75%) is also very important. While in the planning phase, there are some advices for wine room construction that people should follow to make sure that they have made the right choice.
Prepare Proper Wine Cellar
Before the wine cellar construction starts, preparation of the room is most important. A poorly prepared room will only hinder the work flow. The room temperature needs to be between 50-57 degrees while the humidity has to be between 50-75%. Ask your wine cellar company to install 6mm plastics to bar vapor intrusion on the warm side of the cellar wall. Use proper insulation. The walls need R-13 insulation while the ceiling requires R-30 insulation. Install a green board to resist damp and moisture.
Arrange for More Space
Of course, one can build a wine room depending only on the space already available. But it is wise to leave some extra space to accommodate growth of future wine collection. There can be some unplanned purchase. So, building the biggest cellar you can accommodate will be the wisest idea.
Wood Quality
It is important to use right kind of wood to build the wine cellar. Don’t go for scented woods like cedar for a wine cellar. Quality hardwood will be the best material, so redwood could be your best choice. Other unfurnished woods like oak or maple will also do as long as they provide enough strength to the cellar.
Wire Racks
Commercial wire racks are the best choice for wine room construction as you can fit your wine collection easily on them. There are two choices for you in choosing the right material for the racks. You can either use wooden racks in your cellar or go for modern alternative. Many modern cellars prefer wire racks these days as their first material choice for racking. Their design allow more air flow to the bottles compared to wood, which in turn helps to save the quality of the wine. The preference also takes into account the facts that these are cheaper and the installation process is easier compared to wood.
