3. Not Insulating the Wine Cellar Properly

Insulation is one of the things that many people take for granted when building a custom wine cellar in Canada. Without proper insulation, the wine cellar cooling unit will not be able to function effectively, no matter what brand you choose. The most preferred type of insulation is the blown-in spray foam, because it acts both as an insulator and a vapor barrier.

4. Poor Lighting

Lighting can truly make any wine cellar look extra special. Lighting can turn a simple custom wine cellar into a more classy and elegant storage room. The problem is that there are people who overdo the lighting in the cellar. Too much lighting can increase the heat inside the wine storage room and consequently damage your wines. LED lighting is preferable when it comes to wine cellar lighting, because these do not emit as much heat as regular incandescent lighting.
