Frequent questions

How much does a wine room cost?

Costs vary considerably, depending on the size, complexity, materials, design and whether the space requires climate-control. We have undertaken installations over the years ranging from $5,000 to $500,000. Get in touch for your free design consultation and we will find a solution that is right for you.

  • There is a lot to consider when planning a wine wall, therefore the best advice is get in touch with us early, to avoid missing anything that could be disappointing or costly for you.
  • You may need planning permission from your local authority for an outdoor condenser unit, so it pays to check this in advance.
  • Keep under-floor heating well clear (consider thermal breaks or at least a 400mm clearance. If possible separate the underfloor heating circuit next to the wine wall, so that this can be individually adjusted.
  • Be aware of natural light especially north facing windows.
  • Fireplaces and radiators should be kept well clear.
  • Weight – this can sometimes be overlooked, but keep in mind that 500 bottles of wine weigh about 500kg, plus the weight of the wine wall cabinet which could be significant, therefore ensure there is sufficient structural support under-floor.
  • Any foreign heat source (e.g. hot water pipes, hot ducts) must be fully insulated/isolated from the climate controlled zone.

Room preparation requirements can vary depending on your property, therefore we
strongly recommend contacting our consultant for advice specific to your property, however
generally speaking here are the main critical room preparation requirements:

Every project varies depending on the property and cooling system, therefore we strongly recommend contacting our consultant for advice specific to your property, however the most common first-fix service requirements are:
‍
– Power
– Lighting feed
– Water supply
– Drainage for condensation
– Internet (for optional remote monitoring feature)
– Clear duct routes if required for our refrigeration pipework or cabling.

We are experienced climate control specialist engineers, with cooling systems designed specifically for us by our technicians. We believe no other European company can claim the level of technical solutions and expertise in this area.

Our systems include:
– Split type air cooled
– Split type water cooled
– Ducted systems
– Room vented stand-alone systems
– Our unique custom-built wine wall evaporators which are designed to be more quiet, compact and reliable than off-the-shelf evaporators. They also create an even flow of cool air into the cabinet, thus avoiding hot spots.

Humidity between 60-75%

Avoiding exposure to natural light (note – we have solutions to address this for above ground solutions such as UV filters on glass).

Avoiding vibration

Please note, for wine rooms that are temperature controlled, there are critical steps that
need to be taken to ensure that the room is prepared properly, and that mechanical and
electrical services are in place.
