We manufacture doors made from solid wood, seamless glass, glass with wooden frame, and glass with iron frame. Among these choices, the glass doors are a favorite both in residential and commercial applications.
Why Choose Glass Wine Cellar Doors
One way to add visual appeal to your wine cellar is to install a door made from glass. Wine cellar glass doors allow you and your guests to enjoy viewing your prized wine collection without going inside the room.
If you are an owner of a restaurant, hotel, bar, or retail wine store, glass wine cellar doors can help enhance your business’ sales revenue. Your guests will be enticed to take a look at the different types and varietals of wines you offer. This increases the chance of purchase.
Glass wine cellars with glass doors allow full, unobstructed views of the wine collection. That makes it easy for your customer or guest to pick a bottle they want and compare with the rest of the wine in the collection. They’re sleek and instantly screams a certain level of luxury that many onlookers can gravitate towards. Plus, glass wine doors can be easier to maintain, especially when they are frameless.
Additionally, when customers dine in your establishment, they can enjoy your elegant wine display area while eating and sipping their favorite glass of wine. Enhancing the experience of guests will create a buzz about your modern wine cellar. This will build your business’ reputation and gain the trust of potential customers.
Another advantage of glass is that they are more long-lasting than wood. Even if wooden doors are treated and made from excellent quality hardwood that could last almost a lifetime, wood is still more susceptible to wearing out faster because it’s organic.
For your contemporary home wine cellar, installing glass doors will add a contemporary appeal to your space and impress your friends. It can also be beneficial when you sell your home in the future because it increases the value of your property.

Glass Wine Cellar Door with Wooden Frame

Every wine cellar door we have are manufactured by highly skilled craftsmen who has extensive experience in the wine cellar making industry. Remember that wine cellar doors are not just your ordinary doors. Glass doors for wine cellars aren’t just your typical glass doors like those you use in the shower. The panes needs to be tempered and sealed around the edges when installed. Additionally, the thickness of the glass will depend on the level of insulation you need for you cellar. That will be determined together with your cooling system plan and your wall insulation plan.
You also have a variety of customization options for your wine cellar entrance. This will allow you to personalize your door by incorporating your own unique design. You can select every detail of your wine room door. Some of the most favorite door designs are grapevine, vineyards, wine barrels, initials, and even logo of your business. These designs add unique and timeless beauty to your wine cellar.
Frameless Glass Wine Cellar Doors
As the name suggests, this type of door doesn’t come with any type of framing. With innovation, glass doors can now stand and be durable at the same time without a frame and a door jamb. When the frameless glass door is installed beside frameless glass panels, all these panels are typically fixed in what we call U-channels. U-channels serve a dual purpose, keep the glass upright and fixed, and seal those small air gaps between the glass and the ceiling, wall, and floor. Frameless glass doors are very popular in ultra-modern wine cellars but you can see them also in a few contemporary, transitional wine cellars here and there.
Wooden-Framed Contemporary Doors
Wooden-framed glass doors are basically feature glass on the center and a wooden frame all around. There are different types of wood that can be used to make wooden framing for doors and usually we use the same variety on the wooden racks (considering the wine cellar goes with wooden racks). So there is alder, mahogany, redwood, and more. There are also different approaches to creating a wooden door frame. One of the most known approach is manufacturing it with a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) core. LVL is a innovation where sheets of wood are stacked on top of each other to create a thicker wood.
We’re often asked why not just get a chunk of wood and form it into a frame? Technically, having an LVL core makes the frame stronger and resistant to moisture and temperature differences. One of the disadvantages of using wood is it can warp when exposed to moisture and condensation. While wood is treated and polished to enhance its durability, having an LVL core will revamp its capacity to withstand forces even more.
Check out this traditional home wine cellar with an LVL-framed glass door.
Wine Cellar Doors with Glass Etching
Glass etching is a popular design trend for partially frosted glass wine cellar doors. You can have abstract designs etched on your door or mark your initials in there like your family crest to make it more personalized. Glass etching or engraving in usually done in dual-paned glass doors for safety during the etching process, but some manufacturers still offer this kind of service even for single-paned glass doors.
Stained Glass Wine Cellar Doors
Stained glass windows and doors are famously associated with religious sanctuaries like churches. In the wine cellar industry, these are also considered statement-makers that can transform any plainly designed wine cellar into something worth remembering. We’ve done stained glass in barolo doors and the result was a a really stunning entryway for our client’s residential glass wine cellar.
Aluminum-Framed Contemporary Glass Doors
Stainless steel can also be used to protect glass wine cellar doors around the edges. If you’re looking for a simpler, less complicated, less visually popping door frame, stainless steel can do the work. This type of frame can also come in different finishes including stain black or silver chrome, so you can choose what’s more suitable for the aesthetics of your wine cellar. Check out this video showcasing of our finished wine cellars with stainless steel door framing.

Glass-enclosed wine cellars are a trend in a hospitality setting. They add a “wow” factor to restaurants, hotels, and bars, especially if installed in the middle of the room. Imagine several bottles of wine displayed in an aquarium-like wine cellar.
Homeowners may also opt for a glass-enclosed wine room in their living room or entertainment area to impress guests and enhance their home’s resale value. A unique feature in your home can be a deciding factor for homebuyers.
How Glass Wine Cellar Doors Must be Constructed
Insulated Tempered Glass Wine Cellar Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club California
Keep in mind that a wine cellar equipped with a climate-control system must have the correct amount of insulation to help achieve stable storage conditions. The walls, ceiling, flooring, and doors must be insulated.
A wine cellar with poor or no insulation will result in unstable humidity levels. This will trigger mold growth on the cork, affecting the wine’s quality. When this happens, wine will have an unpleasant aroma and taste. Mold will also damage the wine labels, racking, walls, and ceiling.
Sealing the Entrance Door to Preserve Wine’s Quality and the Wine Cellar’s Integrity
The ideal humidity levels required in wine cellars is 60 to 70 percent. To prevent storage issues, Coastal Custom Wine Cellars constructs glass doors using dual paned tempered glass for maximum insulation. We use glass panels with 1/2” thickness, attach the two glass panes together, and seal all the edges.
Insulated Seamless Glass Wine Cellar Door
We leave a thin space in between. This process eliminates the formation of condensation on the glass or around the door. We have another method to keep the humidity within the normal range: we add a polycarbonate vinyl seal.
Insulated custom glass wine cellar doors reduce the chances of condensaton. They reduce heat transfer through glass panes and protect the wine from UV exposure. Additionally, insulating the glass panels will lower energy consumption.

Glass doors with no insulation will force the wine cellar cooling unit to work hard because they increase the cooling power required for achieving the ideal wine cellar environment. If it’s your first time hearing that glass can be insulation, you might be more interested to learn that there are many ways to insulate glass doors, depending on their design.
Frameless glass doors for example are often installed inU-channels and fitted with weather stripping on the edges. Likewise, wood-framed cellars can be custom-built with an automatic guillotine at the bottom that closes when the door is shut.

Contemporary Home Wine Cellar with Seamless Glass Door and Walls
The space was used to be a playroom for the owner’s children. We transformed it into a 2,055-bottle wine cellar using wood and metal wine racks. For the door and walls, we used frameless tempered glass.
On this project, we removed a part of the wall to open up the entryway to the wine cellar. Our client requested a frameless glass door for a modern appeal.
We installed this wine room adjacent to the dining area. We came up with a design for 1,692 bottles. The frameless glass door complemented the contemporary style of the home and provides a clear view of the bottles on display.
