Do you think the door plays a crucial role in the proper storage of wine? Yes, it does. Using an ordinary door for your wine cellar will result in wine storage problems. To keep your collection from harm, you must work with a master builder who knows the importance of choosing the right door.

How Arctic Metalworks Determines the Most Suitable Door Style for Your Needs 

The door is a significant component of a wine cellar. For Arctic Metalworks, the material, functionality, and style of your door are essential in manufacturing and installing doors. 

Before choosing the door for your wine room, we will make a careful assessment of your needs. This step will help us determine the door that suits your requirements. The factors that we consider include the overall appeal that you want for your wine cellar, your budget, and your aesthetic preferences.  

In one of our projects in Orange County, we had to transform an area in the owner’s pantry into a custom wine cellar. We installed an arched glass wine cellar door to provide a good view of the client’s precious collection from the outside.    

Understanding the Key Role of Wine Cellar Doors

If you think that it is okay to install an ordinary door in refrigerated wine cellars, you are wrong. There are technical requirements for the construction of wine rooms. Because of that, you must work with an expert to avoid regrets in the future. For Arctic Metalworks, all of the elements in wine cellar construction are important. One of these is the door.  

A Wine Cellar Door Manufactured and Installed by an Expert in Orange County Will Keep Your Wines Safe  

Wine is a beverage that needs to be stored in a stable environment. Therefore, investing in a climate-controlled custom wine cellar is a smart idea. We understand the importance of sealing the room using the correct materials for your door.  

Correct Insulation – Sealing the Gaps and Using Dual-Paned Glass 

Our knowledgeable team knows that creating an airtight seal in a wine room is essential to achieving the perfect wine storage conditions. We install the right insulation in every wine cellar we build. This step provides the wines protection from unstable conditions.

Stabilizes the Conditions in the Wine Room 

The cold air coming from the wine refrigeration system is essential in the proper aging of the wine. Wine room insulation prevents the cold air from escaping the cellar and the warm air from entering in.  

As with all of our projects, in this Orange County pantry conversion, we equipped the custom wine cellar door with sealing components. We install this around the edges to seal the gap and acts similar to weather stripping. We also added a guillotine to seal the bottom of the door. This mechanical device comes down when the door shuts and creates a seal with the threshold. 

Moreover, the heat transfer through glass panes is minimized when your wine cellar door is insulated. The UV rays coming from the sun and lighting fixtures outside your wine cellar can degrade the quality of your wines. Wine room insulation will also lower your energy consumption because will not force your wine cooling unit to work harder to achieve the optimum wine storage conditions.       

Minimizes Vibration and Noise 

The sediments of the wine must not be disturbed. Doing so will alter the flavor and aroma of the wine. In connection with this, insulated glass doors will prevent noise and vibration that can stir up the wine’s sediments. An insulated glass door was the best choice for this project considering the location of the wine cellar, which is in the pantry near the kitchen appliances.    

Glass Door for a Custom Wine Cellar in Orange County: How Arctic Metalworks Achieved the Modern Look and Installed Protection 

Glass custom wine cellar doors are becoming in demand among homeowners. They create a timeless appeal and blend well with metal, wooden, and iron. When installing a door with glass components, technical expertise is required.  

For this particular project in Orange County and all of the glass wine cellar doors we installed, we used dual-paned or thermally insulated glass panels to prevent condensation from forming on the glass. We filled the gaps between the two glass panels with nitrogen. The sealed air provides efficiency to the thermal performance of the glass panels.     

Some people would ask us, “I got a glass door installed, but I don’t think it’s the right one. How do you know it is the right type of glass to use?”  

We would explain to them that at 55 degrees Fahrenheit, glass doors that are single paned would sweat and fog will form on the door.  It can also trigger mold growth in your wine cellar. Bacteria can grow on the cork, wine labels, wine racks, and even in the ceiling. A poorly insulated wine room will damage the quality of your wines and integrity of your wine cellar. The fog will start to go away if you raise your wine room temperature.   

If you have a single-paned glass door, you can still achieve the ideal temperature in your wine cellar, but not without having your floor wet. It pays to work with a specialist like Arctic Metalworks, who knows what type of door is ideal for your climate-controlled wine room and how to install it correctly.   

Keep in mind that a commercial grade door installed by a non-expert will not protect your wines from damage. Instead, it will cause significant problems in the future, including contamination of wines due to mold growth in the cork.
