Glamorous Glass Residential Wine Cellars in a Dining Area
Having residential wine cellars adds sophistication and elegance to the space and reflects your refined wine taste. It can serve as an icebreaker and create a visually stunning focal point. Moreover, a well-curated wine collection can take your dining experience to the next level and provide opportunities for wine-tasting and pairing sessions with your guests.
Custom Wine Cellar’s modern glass wine cellar project perfectly exemplifies how finesse and elegance can be blended to create a beautiful wine display in any home. Let’s take a look at this awesome wine cellar installation in California!
Residential Wine Cellars: An Attraction In Interior Display
The client approached Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, known for their expertise in wine construction, to create a modern glass wine cellar in the dining room of their California residence.
The project presented several challenges that the team had to overcome. Still, they did so by finding practical solutions and transforming the traditional dining room into a modern wine display masterpiece. The client was overjoyed and satisfied with the completed project.
Before beginning the project, the team had to remove a post and bar counter from the designated area for the glass wine room. Despite the limited space, the team accomplished the project, demonstrating their commitment to providing innovative and practical solutions to their clients.
Here’s a Quick Residential Wine Cellar Tour by Our Head Expert:
Beautifying Residential Wine Cellars Through Installing Modern Wine Racks and Glass Panels
The racking system for the wine cellar was relatively easy to install. The team chose the Black Satin Vintage View Racking System, which could hold up to 900 bottles with the capacity to store 33 magnum-sized bottles on either end.
The wine wall design had a three-bottle deep rack with movable glass panels on the front, while the back had one-bottle deep racks. The glass used for the project was frameless, made of a single pane. A U-channel was used to reinforce the glass panels, and insulation materials were added within the U-channel to improve insulation for the modern glass wine cellar.
The wine cellar had two fixed, frameless glass panels installed on the back and four movable glass panels for the front and accessible side. The doors had a clearance of around 148 inches by 96 inches.
The Ideal Wine Cooling System for Glass Wine Cellars
The limited workspace presented a challenge for the installation of the cooling system. To address this issue, the team partnered with Dan from US Cellar Systems to develop a custom cooling system that could fit in the dining area of the residential space. The team installed an LPQ 12000 TE Split Cooling System supplied by US Cellar Systems.
This cooling unit has a capacity of 12,000 BTUs and 1 ½ horsepower, effectively improving the insulation capabilities of the glass wine cellar. To maintain a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance, the team decided to conceal the cooling unit within the soffit, ensuring that wires and coils were not visible.
The team also used spray foam with a vapor barrier to fill gaps in the cellar’s U-channel and soffit, insulating and protecting the entire cellar from sudden temperature changes outside.
Applying spray foam eliminates the risk of unchecked humidity and temperature fluctuations that can damage your wine collection. California experiences temperatures ranging from 105°F in June to August to 23°F in December to February annually, making it essential to have proper insulation to protect your wine collection.
The Secret Behind the Sophisticated Wine Cellar Lighting
We have installed LED cans throughout the wine cellar to highlight the wine collection. These LED lights are carefully positioned to enhance the beauty of the wine display.
Moreover, LED lights do not emit harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage your wine collection. Instead, they provide ample illumination without affecting the wine’s storage life, ensuring that your wines remain fresh and aromatic for a long time. Our Custom Wine Cellar experts use LED lights in all our projects to ensure our clients’ wine collections remain protected and well-preserved.
