The core purpose of a wine cellar is to create a stable environment to allow your wine collection to age safely and properly. These means maintaining the right balance of light, temperature and humidity.
Installing the wrong type of door can fundamentally undermine that environment.
At Pinnacle Wine Cellars we provide doors that not only look great but are purpose built for wine cellars.
Wine Cellar Door Features
We combine modern day construction methods with old world methods. We construct our wine cellar doors using a technique called Mortise & Tenon, which have been used by woodworkers for centuries because it is simple to do but effectively strong.
Our custom wine cellar doors go through a special process designed to fortify its strength and insulating properties.
The core of our doors is made from Laminated Veneer Lumber or LVL. LVL is a fairly new technology that few other manufacturers offer. LVL is a type of wood product where you have multiple layers of thin wood bonded together by adhesives.
This composite nature makes it dramatically less susceptible to warping and shrinking. Furthermore, Laminated Veneer Lumber has much better insulating qualities than a plain solid wood.
We added an extra step in the core building process by using a relatively thick layer of solid wood as veneer thus the final product still captures the natural appeal and appearance of a solid hardwood door.
Bottom Line
The use of Mortise & Tenon joints, Laminated Veneer Lumber cores and automatic door bottoms gives our hand carved wine cellar doors exceptional strength, quality, insulation values and resistance to warping. All in order to work in unison with the rest of your wine cellar to protect your wine collection.
