Wine Cellar Doors
A wood or iron wine cellar door by Deco Design Center for a custom wine room in your house adds to the decor of your home design. Good insulation, a vapor barrier and climate control system are all key components when purchasing a wine cellar door, but a huge part of climate control comes in purchasing the right wine room door. The wrong decision can force your wine cellar cooler to work harder and allow undesirable warm air inside your wine room, defeating the rest of your careful wine room development and design.
Whether you choose a mahogany standard replica or custom made wood door, or have one custom-crafted in iron or heavy gauge aluminum to your exact specifications, all good wine cellar doors have specific classifications that make them perfect for the climate control demands of your wine cellar.
For a custom wine cellar door, Deco Design Center suggests using exterior grade wood or iron wine cellar doors, which are sturdy enough to withstand temperature fluctuations and keep outside air from leaking in. A good exterior grade wood, iron or aluminum door should be weatherproofed and acclimatized to the level of temperature and humidity in the environment where it will be installed by a professional door installer or carpenter. The humidity factor should not be ignored when picking a custom or standard wine room door and your architect or builder should be able to help you choose a good wine cellar door material.
Wooden wine doors should have good construction, by no means use a interior door as the entrance for your wine cellar. If you use a glass wine door, it should be insulated to help keep exterior air out. The recommended thickness for wine room doors varies according to who you ask, but the minimum you should install for your wine cellar is 1 3/4" inches but some home owners use even 2 1/4" thickness. If your wine cellar door is accessible to children or if you just want more security for your wines, think about adding a custom door lock hardware matching the wine door to your door requirements.
Wine room doors from Deco Design Center are available in a range of materials; solid mahogany wood, alder knotty wood, glass, aluminum and even wrought iron. Options includes custom doors, standard doors, carved wood doors or hand forged ironwork and art glass. Home owners can also get beveled glass doors or custom glass options.
When buying a wine cellar door, the construction of your wine cellar may guide your purchase to a certain degree. Is the wine room already built? Do you have the correct measurements and designs? Do you need to buy a standard door to fit your existing entryway without the pre-hung package? Do you need a prehung package with the door, doorjamb, casing and weather stripping included in the door purchase? Wine cellar doors may come in "door-only" slabs versions or as pre-hung doors including jambs, casing, brick molding, hinges and weather stripping. A pre-hung wine room door comes to you installed into a frame which your builder or carpenter installs into the entryway. Pre-hung doors speed up the installation process and makes it easier for your architects, builder, contractor or carpenter to install the wine room doors.
Some wine room doors by Deco Design Center contain optional wrought-iron or hand forged aluminum grills over the glass which are installed on top of your glass on the front of the door, but these don't have anything to do with climate control issues in your cellar. The wrought iron grillwork add-ons are always decorative and adds home decor and warmth to your exsisting home decor. If home owners or builders add these ornamental designs, Deco Design Center skilled workers will fasten them safely with screws to the door to eliminate the potential for damage to the finish of the wood.
Deco Design Center offer custom-designed and built mahogany entryways. What's the difference between an entry door and a wine room door? With a custom front entrance door you will have the entire package of doors or door slab, doorjamb, casing, brick molding and weather stripping where with wine cellar door you might just have the door slab or extra casing if needed. Deco Design Center offers many choices of entry doors, wine cellar doors, interior doors, moldings and ironwork, railings, gates and stairways to complete your home decorating and building needs.
