warranty is only valid if the insulation is in compliance with the board « Insulation
selection » requirements for the whole cellar (walls, floor, door and ceiling) with perfect continuity of
insulation.
Insulation selection
1.2.1.
Insulation of walls, ceiling and floor
Type of insulation panels
You can select among the following type of panels :
-
Usual panels,
-
« Complex panels »: insulation is covered with a with a cover material
(plaster, mineral …..
)
-
« Sandwich panels »: insulation is covered on each side with a wooden panel or plaster board.
Important : The covering of the panels
protects the insulation against damage and guarantees its
longevity. Avoid using mineral fibres insulation
(glass wool, rock woo, etc…) as they may
accumulate moisture and lose their insulation power and avoid also thin film insulation that are not
effective for cold.
DO YOU KNOW THAT ?
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents. If necessary, cover the insulation with a protective
lining on the inside of the cellar to avoid presence of mouse or rats.
→
Polyurethane is an insulator that, due to its chemical composition, is not attacked by the rodents.
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 :
