If you're in the market for custom wine cellar doors, there's quite a bit of the
door you'd take into consideration to make sure it's done correctly. After all you're
trying to keep your warm air outside the cellar while keeping the cool, moist air inside the
cellar. This door you're looking at looks like a
simple door with glass, but you have to make sure that it is dual pane insulated to make
sure that no condensation that builds up. If it's single pane, you will build condensation
or sweating on the glass which is not good for your cellar.
Here's another door which is just like the one I showed you, but it's a solid panel.
What I want to bring up here is the type of wood that you use. Wood species is very important
because you want to use a hardwood like mahogany, cherry and walnut. You don't want to use
softwood such as pine or redwood. You will have some bending of the door and warping
in the future. We're very proud of our hand forging of
our custom iron. As you can see here, the detail is actually gorgeous, customized with
the grapevines, the leaves, and the grapes themselves. All are hand done in our facility.
You should see some of these guys who do the iron work. It's unbelievable with their
large arms, they look like Popeye. Other aspects that we're very proud of are
our custom carving as you can see these grapes here, and there is a better picture here that
shows some of our custom carving. This is not something that's glued on. It's all
done in house with our third generation carvers. Other aspect of the wine cellar door you want
to take into consideration is that it's an exterior grade door. Our wine cellar doors
are made of 1 ¾"doors. As I mentioned before, they're tempered dual paned insulated. When
we do a pre-hung door we make sure that it comes with a 1 ¼ rabbeted jamb. It also includes
an automatic door bottom which is very important to make sure that it seals the door.
If you don't want an automatic door drop, we can do a solid oak sill or one out of aluminum.
When we do something that's pre-hung we also include the hinges and the hinge prep
work along with the weather stripping where we use keelon.
Other aspects of the doors we have 5 different finishes; we will also provide casings interior
and exterior. There are a lot of things we can choose from including sidelights and transoms.
If this is something you're interested in talking to us more in depth about, please
don't hesitate to contact us here and we look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
