Floor insulation
The floor of the cellar must be able to support the shelves and the stored wine. Thus, it’s necessary to
choose insulation with adequate compression strength.
Improve the load capacity of the insulation (particularly under the shelve legs) by using :
-
« Complex »
insulation panels covered by panels of higher load capacity.
-
Cover the insulation panel with a wooden panel
(at least 15 mm thickness), or every other
appropriated material.
1.2.2
The door
Door improves the insulation. Two solutions are possible:
-
Insulate an existing door with the same insulation 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 WINEMASTER isothermal door
with polyurethane and a sealing foam rubber.
