Custom Wine Cellar with Reclaimed Wine Barrel Flooring

One of the many benefits of customizing your wine cellar is that it allows you to integrate the unique features that you want to increase the visual appeal of your wine room. Your wine cellar flooring has a vital role in achieving the ambiance that you want to achieve. At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we offer one of the most popular flooring options, which is the wine barrel flooring.

Enhance the Beauty of Your Wine Cellar with Our Wine Barrel Flooring

When entering a room, the first thing that most people look at is the flooring. It forms the base of any interior design. Have you been wondering about the best flooring for your wine cellar?

Working with a design specialist will ensure that all of your aesthetic and functional requirements are met. If you want your wine cellar to stand out, we recommend using an exceptional material while helping save mother earth.

At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we recommend an exciting flooring idea using reclaimed wood from oak wine barrels. See the value of recycled wood from wine barrels as artful elements in your wine cellar. Make your custom wine cellar a truly unique masterpiece with Coastal’s wine barrel flooring!

Oak Wine Barrel – The Winemakers’ Favorite

The use of barrels to store wines is an old tradition. Wines are fermented in barrels made from chestnut, walnut, and other hardwoods, but oak continues to be the winemakers’ favorite. Oak barrels play an important role in winemaking.

Oak contains Phenols that produce sweetness or vanilla flavors in wines.  Its density and hardness keep the wine fresh as it ages.  Oak barrels allow some levels of evaporation and oxygenation to occur in wines but not at levels that would cause wine spoilage.

What happens to wine barrels when a vintage is ready to be bottled? Using them again for new grapes is not advisable as the old flavors might taint them. At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we reuse barrels for wine cellar flooring instead of letting them be sold as firewood or put into landfills.

With the unique conversion procedure that recycles the wood into products suitable for wine cellar flooring, we are able to use all parts of the barrels: the inside, outside, top, and bottom, giving you diversity in the color and patterns of your wine cellar floor.

How We Make Unique Wine Barrel Flooring for Custom Wine Cellars

Wine Infusion Wine Barrel Flooring

The reclaimed wine barrels are broken into long strips about 5/8 inch in thickness. We micro-bevel them and cut them in various widths and lengths. We use the tongue and groove technique for creating flooring with superior strength and sturdiness. The wooden strips are glued and nailed after installing the vapor barrier.

Wine Barrel Flooring Options

What’s fun about wine barrel flooring is you may choose three different barrel parts: outside (Stave), top or bottom (Cooperage), and inside (Infusion). Each option has its own characteristics that would make your wine storage room really attractive and unique!

Stave Wine Barrel Flooring

Add character and historic charm to your wine cellar with Stave Wine Cellar Flooring, which makes use of the outer parts of wine barrels where the metal hoops have been removed, leaving distinctive markings or patterns behind. The Stave is the vertical wood that makes up the side of the barrel. It has shades of golden brown that create a weathered look to your flooring.

The markings on the top and bottom of wine barrels are used by wineries to identify the contents. One way to beautifully display those authentic stamps and special markings is by incorporating them into your wine cellar floor design called Cooperage Wine Cellar Flooring. It adds richness to any room and enhances the beauty of your wine cellar because of its very distinctive patterns.

Complement the staining options of your wine racks with the rich colored material that comes from the inside part of the barrel. This flooring option is the Wine Infusion Wine Cellar Flooring, which makes use of the inner part of the barrel, which is naturally stained by wine. Each plank does not have the same stain, thus creating a unique look to your wine cellar floor, which lasts for years.  Oakwood naturally soaks in the burgundy color of wine, so no artificial dyes are needed to enhance the coloring.

Cooperage Wine Barrel Flooring

We build custom wine cellars with outstanding craftsmanship, and we assist you in every aspect of design and materials that fit your needs and style. We highly recommend incorporating wood from reclaimed wine barrels in your wine cellar flooring design for a truly unique look.

Have fun in choosing from three wine barrel flooring options: Stave, Cooperage, or Infusion. To ensure that your wine storage room flooring is made of materials with good quality, color, and structure, each reclaimed wood is carefully inspected by Coastal Custom Wine Cellars. Any of these flooring options can also be used to build countertops, tabletops, and other surfaces.
