Tips on Designing Your Own Custom Wine Cellar in Vancouver
Designing your custom wine cellar in Vancouver can be very easy. As long as you know the basics, it does not have to be difficult at all. Of course, you need the guidance of a wine cellar specialist to make sure that you meet the requirements for proper wine storage.
1. First Thing’s First!
It’s very easy to start designing once you have established what you really want. It is important that you decide how you wish to store, manage and display your wine collection. Go through details, like the number and type of bottles, how the wine racks will look, how many bottles you intend to store, and whether you are going to store them long term or short term.
2. Other Details to Cover
Two of the most commonly forgotten elements during the designing phase of wine cellar construction are the wine cellar door and the wine cellar refrigeration system. It is very important to remember that wine cellar doors are not built in the same way regular doors are. How a wine cellar door is constructed can greatly affect the temperature and humidity inside a custom wine cellar. In the same way, wine cellar refrigeration units are very different from regular home air conditioning units. They are specifically configured to provide the ideal temperature and humidity for proper wine storage. Moreover, the wine cellar refrigeration system needed varies depending on the size, shape, and location of your custom wine cellar.
