Why Do Wine Cellars Require Custom Doors?
There are several other functional benefits in addition to the aesthetic benefits of customizing a door specifically to enclose your collection of high-end wines. Wine and other corked or expensive libations require specific temperatures and humidity to retain the flavors and qualities that make them so pricey to begin with. While a climate control system can handle the majority of these requirements, adding a custom solid wood wine cellar door is a smart secondary protection.
Solid wood doors from Allegheny Wood Works are manufactured to precise specifications and create a tight seal that minimizes air infiltration while protecting the intended temperature and humidity settings. Standard hollow core doors lack the weight, insulation, and solid construction features needed for reliable wine storage, especially in actively cooled cellars or wine rooms integrated into a larger home bar or entertainment space.
What Makes an AWW Wine Cellar Door Truly Custom?
Our team goes above and beyond during the design process to ensure all customers get the made-to-order wine cellar, home bar, or home theater door. While adding glass-etching or woodburned fonts calling out the room use, our custom door design process takes things a step further than other manufacturers.
- Wood Species Options: The craftsmen at Allegheny Wood Works are confident working with all wood species from classic maple and oak to more exotic species like Spanish cedar, rustic knotty alder, sappy cherry, and hickory.
- Door Design Profile: Depending on the required door dimensions for your custom wine cellar door, Allegheny Wood Works can fabricate any Series 100 to 700 doors to meet your design requirements.
- Glass Panels: Our wood doors with glass afford homeowners truly unique decorating potential with an in-house glass shop that can etch or sandblast fonts and non-copyrighted logos or images.
- Custom Etching & Woodburning: In addition to adding decorative designs to glass panels, we can also add custom etching to the wood panels, which elevates rustic doors and meets the vibe of exclusive home bars or wine cellars.
- Finish Stains: To help match the existing design of your home, we offer a collection of Sherwin-Williams stains to help enhance the existing hues and grain patterns of our solid wood doors.
Advantages of Different Wine Room Door Designs
Depending on your existing home design, room size, or climate, different door designs for wine cellars can offer a unique set of performance characteristics or aesthetic properties.
Solid Wood Wine Cellar Doors
Solid hardwood wine cellar doors provide optimal levels of insulation and thermal performance. Additionally, the custom-crafted door protecting your vintage will not warp or crack after years of use, providing an aesthetically pleasing door for traditional cellars and luxury homes.
Wine Cellar Doors with Glass
These doors provide a combination of added visibility into the cellar itself and climate control properties that help maintain temperatures and correct humidity within the room. These are also common choices for home bars with display storage or even restaurants and breweries.
Etched Glass Wine Cellar Doors
Using special equipment, Allegheny Wood Works can further customize your home bar or wine cellar door with bespoke etching that adds a personal touch. Etched glass can mean several things, including frosted glass with clear artwork, clear glass with obscured patterns, custom (non-trademarked) logos or branding, and other decorative touches.
