Modern residential wine storage rooms are built above ground, and are beautifully integrated into the overall design feature of a home. A home wine cellar not only increases the aesthetic appeal of a residential property, but also adds to its value. Aboveground wine enclaves are actively cooled, which means they need to be properly constructed and insulated, as well as equipped with the right type of residential wine cellar cooling unit.
Arctic Metalworks is a family owned and operated refrigeration systems manufacturer and installer, based in Southern California. They provide a wide range of commercial grade wine cellar refrigeration units California that can suit the cooling needs of various applications. There are three primary types of climate control systems offered by Arctic: through the wall units, ducted self-contained units, and split systems.
The Arctic team recently finished a wine cellar cooling equipment installation for a residential wine room in Beverly Hills, California. The project called for installing a climate control system ideal for a wine storage space with an area measuring about 13’ wide x 4’ deep x 8’ height, with a total bottle capacity of over 500 wine bottles. To efficiently cool the wine enclosure, Arctic Metalworks utilized an Arctic Aire split refrigeration system.
Split wine cellar refrigeration units California are the most efficient refrigeration equipment for cooling wine rooms. The condenser is the noisiest component of a climate control system and needs a large space for proper ventilation. Split wine cellar cooling systems separate the condensing unit from the evaporator unit, which not only promotes an environment that is free from noise, but also provides flexibility in installation options.
Cooling unit evaporators are usually placed inside the wine storage space. Split systems can be installed via ductwork or refrigerant line sets. Ductwork supplies cool air into the wine room through a vent, and warm air is exhausted to the outdoors via return air vents. On the other hand, refrigerant line sets consist of a liquid line and suction line that connect the condenser to the evaporating unit.
For the Beverly Hills residential wine cellar cooling installation, the Arctic team used a line set to connect the separate components of the climate control system. The evaporator unit is placed right above the tabletop area of the wine racking system, while the condenser is located outside the home.
An operable louvered grill cover designed by Coastal Custom Wine Cellars conceals the wine cellar cooling unit from view. The operable cover makes it easier to access the mechanical equipment during maintenance and repair services.
The grill cover is made of the same wood material the wine racks, which creates a clean, seamless appearance inside the wine enclave. The Coastal team also provided the elegant wine storage and display racks for the Beverly Hills residential wine cellar space. The wine racking system is constructed from mahogany wood with a chestnut stain and satin finish.
Coastal Custom Wine Cellars has worked with Arctic Metalworks on several residential wine cellar cooling installation projects. Not only does Coastal specialize in design and construction of custom wine rooms, but they also provide high quality custom wine racking, flooring, wine cellar doors, and wine cellar refrigeration units California.
The Beverly Hills wine enclave is enclosed in seamless glass walls and an entry door. Seamless glass provides an unobstructed view into the wine storage space, as well as helps maintain the ideal climate conditions for storing and aging wines. Using glass walls and an entry door allows the wine collector to put the different Mahogany wine racking components (e.g. wood case shelves, label forward display, single bottle opening with a high reveal display row, etc.) built and installed by the Coastal team on display.
Seamless glass enclosures are an aesthetically pleasing way of displaying a vast collection of wine bottles. Since the wine room is situated in the living room area, the use of frameless glass not only adds elegance to the space, but also highlights the outstanding feature of the Mahogany wine racking and showcases the natural beauty of the wood specie.
