Wine Cellar Designs
|
So you want to build your own custom wine cellar, but don't want to build racks from scratch. There is a simple solution that will allow you to make your own custom wine rack design. Modular wine racks are typically available in different grains and finishes, with the least expensive generally being a wood like pine. Most modular wine rack dealers will offer other materials such as red cedar or finished wood too. Of course you can always save some money and finish the wood yourself. A modular wine cellar supplier should supply all of the necessary hardware that will be needed to assemble the wine racks that you have ordered. If, for some reason, they make you figure out hardware needs yourself, I'd say choose another wine rack distributor because most of them sell the hardware with the rack materials. One of the nice things about modular wine racking is that you can mix and match different types and styles of modular racking to meet specific needs or create a unique style. There are many wine racking companies that offer skirting pieces and crown molding so that you can easily 'tie together' different styles of wine cellar racking materials and types. Many wine cellar racking companies have individual pieces that can help you further customize your own modular wine racking system. For example, a wood table top piece can be used to top off a short racking portion and convert it into a useful bench space. There are built in glass racks that are made to fit snugly within a rack system. A good place for one of these individual units would be above the table top piece mentioned above. This would add to the ambience as well as functionality of your custom modular wine racking system. Typically, the most economical type of modular wine cellar racking are dozen bin racks. These types of modular racking each hold twelve bottles of wine. This can be especially appropriate for those that buy their wine in dozens. You can also find racking for cases of different types. There are two main types of case racking, one is for cases of standing wine and one is for short wooden cases. If you store wine in the bottles original packaging from time to time, this can be a very attractive and useful way to store the bottles. There are attractive metal trellis rack pieces that are a very economical, yet stylish way to store and display the wine in your collection. These tend to look classier than the wood modular wine racking pieces, especially for placement in bar areas. With modular wine cellar racking, you can choose between single units, or from larger collections of the smaller racking units that are permanently bound together. Some of the popular arrangements for this are triple stacked single units or the diamond bins where a single unit is actually four whole and eight half triangles in which to stack wine bottles. If you'd like to combine wood and metal, there are both standalone modular wine racking and modular racking that incorporate both warm wood and sleek metal. The sides, top and bottom are made of wood and the metal is a grid of rings that hold the front and back ends of each bottle of wine. If you would like to add a table area to your wine cellar while increasing the storage capacity of your cellar at the same time, a wine bin table may be the best addition to your modular racking system. There are taller, wine tasting tables that hold just over 100 bottles or about 180 bottles of wine, and there are shorter wine rack tables that hold more than 200 wine bottles in case bins. Now, for the do-it-yourselfers there are all kinds of wine cellar designs that can be used to build the wine cellar and racking system of your dreams. Many people even use a combination of wine cellar design and some modular wine racking pieces to make simple to build, yet truly unique wine cellar layouts. There are many online dealers and manufacturers of wine cellar racking pieces that also offer custom computer design services to help you achieve the exact wine cellar layout that you have in mine. You can then have the plans sent to you and decide if you will build them yourself or have someone else do the cutting and building work for you. With all of the wine cellar design options available to you, there are many ways to get the exact type of wine racking materials and design ideas that you need to accomplish your goals. If you'd like to communicate with others about their own custom wine cellar and racking ideas, there are many wine enthusiasts online communities and he like that can help you find others interested in the same things that you are. This can be a great way to share what you know as well as see what others have built in their wine cellars. About The Author: Joanne is author of Decorz.com.
