Cellar Construction Guide 

 
This is only a guide and shall be considered as the minimum requirements. 
 
All interior walls, ceilings and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of 
R13  insulation.  All  exterior  walls  and  ceiling  shall  have  a  vapor  barrier  and  a 
minimum of R19 insulation. The vapor barrier shall be installed on the warm side 
of insulation. All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes 
or  vents  that  go  through  the  cellar  shall  be  sealed  to  prevent  air  and  moisture 
leaking  into  the  cellar.  Concrete,  rock,  and  brick  are  not  insulations  or  vapor 
barriers. Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R13 and tightly 
sealed with high quality weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door 
and fill gap between the door’s frame and wall before installing the cap molding.  
 
In  order  to  maintain  55  °F  in  the  wine  cellar,  the  ambient  temperature 
surrounding  the  cellar  shall  not  exceed  the  temperature  of  the  cellar  by  more 
than 25 °F. No cellar walls shall receive direct sun or strong wind.  
 
Lighting shall be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when 
the cellar is not occupied.  
 
The  cooling  system  will  not  be  able  to  maintain  the  proper  temperature  if  fresh 
moisture-laden air is constantly being introduced to the cellar. Symptoms of this 
condition  are;  cooling  unit  runs  all  the  time  with  only  a  slight  reduction  in 
temperature  and/or  water  overflows  from  the  cooling  unit.  Because  of  the 
temperature  difference  between  the  inside  and  outside,  very  small  cracks  can 
allow large amounts of outside air to enter into the cellar. Please be aware that 
moisture  can  pass  through  solid  concrete,  paint  and  wood.  Often  a  newly 
constructed  cellar  contains  fresh  wood,  paint,  concrete  and  other  building 
materials. These materials contain large amounts of moisture. When placed into 
operation in this type of environment, the system will work harder to remove this 
extra moisture resulting in increased “run” time.
