Wine Cellar Construction: How Scottsdale Experts Build Safe Wine Storage Rooms
Choosing the right builder for your wine cellar construction project will ensure everything is in place and all your requirements are met. The primary reason homeowners and retailers invest in a refrigerated wine cellar is to keep their wines in a stable environment to preserve their desirable characteristics.
At Custom Wine Cellars Scottsdale, we are goal-oriented, focusing on creating the proper wine storage conditions. To achieve this, we make a thorough assessment, plan carefully, and create a design that suits the requirements for the project. We undergo several steps to ensure that we choose and install the components correctly and meet the needs of our clients.
Assessment Stage: a Crucial Step in Wine Cellar Construction
Hassle-Free Wine Cellar Construction by Master Builders in Scottsdale
Your wine cellar should reflect your personality and be designed considering all the factors that affecting wine quality. Therefore, assessing your needs is the key factor in choosing the right components to install and features to incorporate into your wine cellar design.
When you choose to work with us, we will schedule an on-site visit to see and measure the room before we start the wine cellar construction. We will work closely with you and get answers to the following questions:
- How many bottles and what types of bottles do you intend to store and display in your wine cellar?
- Do you want your wine cellar to be an entertainment area or just a place for displaying your prized wines?
- What is the ambiance that you want in your custom wine cellar? Do you want traditional, modern, or transitional? (This will help us choose the racking styles and materials)
- Do you want custom wine racks or pre-made wine racks?
- Do you have an adjacent room for the proper dissipation of the heat from your wine cooling system? (This will help us determine the type of wine refrigeration system we will use for your wine cellar.)
- Do you want glass walls or doors? (The amount of glass used will be considered when calculating the heat load required in the proper sizing of your wine cooling system.)
- How much is your budget for the project? (we can tailor your custom wine cellar design to suit your financial requirements)
Design Stage: Creating 3-Dimensional Drawings
After gathering essential information and taking note of every detail, we will begin the design process. Our creative design specialists will create CAD images to help you visualize your dream wine cellar.
The drawings include different elevation views of the completed wine cellar, racking styles and dimensions, bottle capacities, and door placement. Once done, we will send our design proposal to you for review. If there are no changes, we will start the construction process after your approval.
Wine Room Preparation: Framing and Insulation
Choosing the Right Wine Cellar Door and Cooling System is Crucial in Wine Cellar Construction Scottsdale
Another vital step in wine cellar construction is preparing the room before installing the components. Our team will frame the room that will be utilized for the build-out project. Then, we will complete the plumbing and electric work before adding the insulation and vapor barrier.
Wine cellar insulation (on walls and ceiling) is significant in achieving stable wine storage conditions. It should be installed by a professional to ensure the ideal temperatures and humidity levels needed to preserve the quality of your wines are achieved. A sufficient insulation value will prevent accelerated wine aging and wine spoilage.
Re that a lack of or poorly installed insulation will cause fluctuating temperatures and varying humidity levels. The vapor barrier separates the colder environment in a refrigerated wine room from the warmer environment outside.
Our team always makes sure that the correct insulation and vapor barrier are installed correctly to prevent condensation build-up, which can pose serious problems affecting the structural integrity of your wine room and the quality of your wines. When the humidity gets outside the normal range, which is 65 to 75 percent, condensation will form and trigger mold growth in the walls and ceiling, on the wine racks, wine labels, and corks. Your wine cooling unit will also function with maximum efficiency in the right environment.
Custom Wine Cellars Scottsdale uses and recommends closed-cell spray foam insulation because of its benefits. It is also known to be the most efficient type of insulation and cost-savvy option. It is made of liquid components that expand into foam, filling in even the tiniest gaps between wall studs.
Since it can act as both an insulator and a vapor barrier, closed-cell spray foam insulation can save you money. You do not have to pay for a separate vapor barrier, and it allows you to use a smaller-sized wine refrigeration system because of its high-insulating factors.
In addition to walls and ceiling, your door should be well insulated to prevent air leakage. We use exterior-grade wooden doors with 1 ¾-inch thickness and construct them using Laminate Veneer Lumber (LVL) technology to maximize the durability and strength of your doors. It also increases the door’s resistance to warping and highly humid conditions in refrigerated wine storage rooms.
We use dual-pane thermally insulated glass panels to increase the insulation inside your wine cellar. All our doors are equipped with sealing components like weather stripping, which seal the gaps around the edges of every door.
Proper Sizing and Installation of the Wine Cooling Unit
Wine refrigeration systems are engineered to maintain the ideal wine cellar environment. Our team offers commercial-grade wine cellar cooling units from top-notch manufacturers.
In every wine cellar construction project, we perform a heat load calculation before choosing a climate control system. This process will help us determine the amount of BTUs needed for your wine cellar so we can choose the right size and type of wine cooling unit for your wine room.
