When you choose to work with a trusted and experienced builder, you will prevent costly expense in the future. Space and structural challenges did not stop Arctic Metalworks from building a contemporary custom wine cellar under the staircase of a home in Canyon Lake, California. Learn how the problems were solved and how the features were incorporated into the wine cellar design.
Arctic Metalworks Completed a Wine Cellar Construction Project in Canyon Lake, California
Custom wine cellars are in demand in Canyon Lake, because residents love to socialize. A residential owner and lover of red wines in this luxurious city sought the help of Arctic Metalworks in transforming a space under her staircase into a wine cellar. The project was completed after 60 days, including the waiting time for the wine cellar door and wine racks.
California Home Wine Cellar Construction: Structural Challenges That Had to be Dealt With
In this wine cellar construction project in California, the room is located in a walk-in closet downstairs. It is near the house’s master bedroom at the bottom of the spiral staircase that reaches 3-stories high.
Arctic Metalworks had to deal with the limited space and structural challenges. The room was difficult to work with because it was skewed, which was the result of the foundation settling on a sandy bank or maybe because their previous builder rushed with the construction of that space.
As well as the room being skewed, the door itself was also skewed, the company had to ensure that everything was in place, including the racking. The flooring had cracks, so the entire flooring was removed before installing the new tiles.

Wine Room Insulation: Why Master Builders in California Consider it a Crucial Aspect in Wine Cellar Construction
An experienced and knowledgeable builder knows and understands the significance of insulating the walls and ceiling before installing the components such as wine racks, refrigeration system, lighting, flooring, and door.
One of the main culprits of wines damage is poor insulation or lack of insulation and a vapor barrier. A costly expense awaits you if your chosen builder does not understand the crucial role of insulating your wine cellar.
At Arctic Metalworks we always want to keep the cost as low as possible without compromising the quality and functionality of a particular element in wine cellar construction. We used spray foam insulation, which we also recommend to all of our clients. This type of insulation is more cost-effective than other types of insulation because the spray foam acts as both an insulator and a vapor barrier at the same time.
Moreover, spray foam insulation is known to be very effective in filling the wall and ceiling cavities. It is reliable in sealing the wine room and preventing condensation formation in the cellar. If you work with our team, you can expect that your wine cellar is safe because we make a careful assessment of your requirements in order to determine the correct R-value for your space.

In Manhattan Beach, a client contacted Arctic Metalworks because it had to fix their wood ceiling. Moisture is forming in the room due to lack of a vapor barrier. It is a wise idea to work with a reliable builder or contractor to avoid costly mistakes in the future.
Contemporary Wine Rack System by VintageView
The space to be utilized for this wine cellar construction project in California measures 8’ wide x 8’ long x 7.5’ high. The small space had to be maximized. On the left, right, and right walls, Arctic Metalworks installed wall mounted metal wine racks manufactured by VintageView. These wine racks do not occupy floor space.
On the other side of the wall, a stand-alone half-height metal wine rack was added. It consists of a display row at the top, which pitches the bottles at an angle, and horizontal display storage at the bottom.
VintageView is well known for being a provider of effective racking solutions, both in residential and commercial applications. Its metal wine racks are designed with a label-forward bottle configuration for easy perusal of the wines. Locating a specific type of wine in the racking will be convenient. There is no need to flip the bottle to see the description.

Arctic Metalworks installed a Coto style door provided by IronWine Cellars. It has an arched top and consists of black wrought iron and glass to help create an airtight seal in the wine room. You will see a hand-carved grape design at the center of the wine cellar door.
IronWine Cellars manufacture stylish doors made from exterior grade materials. The company is one of our partners in wine cellar construction in California.
To help maintain the optimum conditions inside the climate-controlled wine cellar, the door was made with dual paned glass (two panes of glass attached). IronWine Cellars sealed the edges, leaving a thin space in between the glass panes filled with a special type of gas. This process prevents condensation around the door or on the glass itself.
