Wine Cellar Flooring from Reclaimed Wine Barrels Peoria Arizona

Wine Barrel Flooring

Repurposing wine barrels used in the wineries can help save our Mother Earth. Instead of filling landfills, builders and designers thought of a way to utilize the reclaimed wine barrels for wine cellar flooring.

In order to showcase the wonderful colors and natural variations between each piece of wood, no stain is added. However, we do coat our floors with water-based polyurethane in a satin finish for durability. As there are no two pieces of wood the same, just as there are no two barrels the same, we make no effort to match tones or color as this would completely change the look and finish.

Countertops, Feature Walls, and more…

Reclaimed Wine Barrels can be used as an awesome material for all kinds of features in a wine cellar. We have installed them as a dramatic finish for feature walls, as well as countertops and display backdrops. Constructed from real reclaimed wine barrels, anywhere from 6 – 50 years old. The material is hard-wearing, comes in random length barrel headstock, 5/8” thick, tongue and groove engineered, pre-finished on the face, and suitable for flooring and or most flat surfaces. Tabletops or countertops are custom 1 1/8″ thick, pre-finished on the face, edge-banded and cut, ready for drop-in installation.

Reclaimed wine barrels can be used to create many different and unique features in a custom wine cellar.

Cooperage Style Wine Cellar Flooring

As stated above, repurposing wine barrels makes a lot of sense, it keeps it out of landfills and it is such a beautiful and robust wood, why would you want to just dispose of it anyway. Part of a barrel’s beauty is the cooperage marks; these marks are similar to the branding done to livestock to show which winery the barrel of wine or distillery the spirits belong to. This makes each cooper signage unique. In a special process that preserves these unique pieces of history, the outside of the barrels is tempered, reinforced, and processed to lay flat making them an excellent choice for the discerning wine lover.

The uses for this type of specialized wood are endless, floors are the first thing that comes to mind, but they can also be used for countertops, walls, ceilings, tabletops, and bar stool tops. As the cooperage is often on the top and or bottom of the barrel as well even these parts can be used allowing your imagination to run riot on what you can create. Your inspiration and budget are your only limiting factors! Installing cooperage products into your custom wine cellar, whether residential or commercial will make the statement that you have a discerning taste for the best things in life.

Elegant Wine Barrel Flooring Created for a Custom Wine Cellar in Phoenix AZ

Wine Infusion Wine Cellar Flooring

If you are looking for planks made from the inside of the barrel, we recommend that you choose the Infused style wine cellar flooring. The interior portion of the wine barrel is naturally stained or “wine-soaked,” displaying pinkish to reddish tones. The redder and stronger the wine, the redder the inside of the barrel becomes. Some barrels have held many varieties of white wine for instance giving a wonderfully rich cream to brown color. The choice is up to you, we’ve seen some wonderful floors where a combination of red and white barrels have even been used.

Stave Wine Barrel Flooring

The Stave wine barrel flooring is constructed from the vertical wood planks from the outside of the barrels. The markings left by removing the metal bands when taking the barrels apart add character to your flooring. No two planks are the same, creating a very unique flooring. Stave wine barrel flooring can also have what’s known as ‘Cooperage’, these are the logos of each winery, as there is usually only one cooperage per barrel, they are highly prized and are in short supply. This means you will only get a small percentage of wood that includes the marks on your new floor.

Cork Flooring

Another way to incorporate an environment-friendly feature into your wine cellar design is by using cork flooring. Cork is not only effective as a bottle stopper but is also an excellent material for a humid environment in refrigerated custom wine cellars in Phoenix.

Today’s floors have a variety of custom designs and vivid colors to suit every need and taste. In addition to its durability, the cork produces a cushioned feel and sound reduction, and it’s easy to install.

Cork flooring can come In many styles and colors. Quiet and insulating it can be a perfect finish for a home wine cellar. Ask for a current sample set if considering this option for your wine cellar.

Cork is an amazing naturally growing bark of the tree L. Quercus suber, commonly called the cork oak. It is made up of up to 40 million cells per cubic centimeter making it very dense but the cell membranes retain gas, which gives cork its capacity to float, insulate and re-expand quickly even after being compressed. Cork is natural, recyclable, and biodegradable and there are no natural or man-made materials that can replicate its properties.

Cork is pretty amazing in that it retains all its unique qualities of flexibility, elasticity, and compressibility along with its extreme resilience, impermeability, lightness, and insulating efficiency even after being cut away from the tree. This makes it ideal for many flooring applications, especially custom wine cellars.

Cork Wine Cellar Flooring

Added to all the aforementioned naturally astounding abilities, Cork is also hypoallergenic and mildew, moisture, dust, and pollen resistant. As a building material, it is an excellent choice for a wine cellar because it is also flexible, water-resistant, soft, and warm. You really can’t ask for more in a product!
