Have you recently discovered space in your home that you
can convert into a wine storage area? A properly built wine cellar can serve
your wine storage needs for many years. You need to learn how to build a wine cellar by following the steps below.
First, determine the location where you are going to
place your wine cellar bearing in mind that factors like temperature, humidity
and space available will affect your decision. Basements are suitable spaces
for building wine cellars because there’s no risk of direct sunlight affecting
your collection.
The next step involves framing and insulation to get a
more controlled environment. You can choose spray foam which is used as
insulation for wine cellars. After the framing, insulation and drywall is
complete, you’ll need to install a cooling unit that helps to control humidity
and eliminate excessive moisture.
Lighting is also important when building a wine cellar.
LED lighting options are usually best because the normal bulbs emit too much
heat for a wine cellar. Choose beautiful traditional
wine racks that you can admire when you leave the lights on.
Most importantly, decide how you are going to display
your wine. You can choose custom shelving or a residential
wine rack that suits your budget and style.
