6.5. INSULATION OF THE FLOOR
The floor of the cellar must be able to support the shelves and the stored wine Thus it is necessary to choose an
insulation with an adequate compression strength. The load capacity of each insulating material should be noted
on the manufacturer's label. Another possibility is to cover the insulation with an insulating material designed
specifically for floors such as quality chipboard.
Improve the load capacity of the insulation (particularly under the shelf legs) by:
Using “complex” insulating panels covered by panels of higher load capacity.
Covering the floor insulator with quality chipboard (with a thickness of 15 mm) or with an other
appropriate material.
6.6. THE DOOR (Optional)
An adequately insulated door can be obtained in one of two ways
:
Insulate an existing door
with the same insulating materials used for the walls of the cellar. Provide a tight seal
between the door frame and all sides of the door with a strip of foam rubber, for example.
Use a specially designed FONDIS Isothermic door
containing polyurethane. In this case you are assured to have
a tight seal on all sides of the door which is equipped with a magnetic joint.
FONDIS Isothermic Door
