Part of the thermal envelope, not a finishing detail. Where the cellar holds or leaks.
A cellar door isn’t a joinery item; it’s the thermal boundary of a wine cellar climate-controlled room. However well the walls are insulated, a door or window that doesn’t perform bypasses all of it, and the climate system runs to make up the difference.
We treat doors and windows as part of the envelope. They’re thermally broken, and we use cellar glazing rather than standard glazing, so heat and cold don’t bridge straight through. Every opening is designed using the same cellar design principles that govern the rest of the room — sized and set out to hold the climate.
Visible or concealed — timber, glass, insulated panel or hidden behind joinery — the door is designed to the room, and its specification is aligned with our climate control system so the whole envelope works as one and the warranties align. The detailed specification is developed and documented once we’re engaged.
Door types
Timber and metal, thermally broken doors and windows.
Sealing
Full-perimeter seal around the door.
Glazing
Double-glazed cellar glass.
Frames
Thermally broken.
Coordination
Specification aligned with the climate control system so the envelope performs as one and the warranties align.
Specification
Detailed specification developed and documented once engaged.
Eleven racking systems, designed in-house and built in our Mornington workshop. The system that suits the room and the collection.
Cellar-specific refrigeration, calibrated to the room and the collection. Sized once, right.
The vapour barrier, the thermal envelope, the layer of the cellar that quietly does everything.
Access to full-height cellars. Timber, sliding, engineered for the room.
Cellar Creations designs and builds bespoke wine cellars and racking. We do not sell wine, spirits, beer or any other alcohol, and we do not hold a liquor licence.
A third party website is currently publishing a listing under our business name, address and telephone number describing us as a retailer of wine and spirits, with trading hours and a photograph that are not ours, alongside alcohol offered for sale. That listing was not authorised by us and the information in it is false.
We are also receiving a high volume of enquiries that are not genuine, including requests for video consultations to work through design options and costings where there is no project behind them. It is taking us longer than usual to separate a real enquiry from a false one. If your enquiry has been met with more caution than you expected, that is why, and we are sorry for it. We ask genuine clients to bear with us.
If you have arrived here expecting to buy wine, you have been misdirected. We design and build generational pieces that celebrate wood and woodworking, one at a time, for the people who commission them and the people who behold them. You can see that work in our project galleries and on our YouTube channel, RR Creative Studio.
