Insulation of walls, ceiling and floor
Type of insulation panels
You can select among the following type of panels:
Usual panels,
-
« Complex panels »: insulation is covered with a cover material (plaster, mineral .....)
-
« Sandwich panels »: insulation is covered on each side with a wooden panel or plaster board.
-
Important: The covering of the panels protects the insulation against damage and guarantees its
longevity. Avoid using mineral fibres insulation (glass wool, Rockwool, etc...) as they may accumulate
moisture and lose their insulation power and avoid also thin film insulation that are not effective for cold.
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents. If necessary, cover the insulation with a protective
lining on the inside of the cellar to avoid presence of rodents.
Polyurethane is an insulator that, due to its chemical composition, is not attacked by

Floor insulation
The floor of the cellar must be able to support the shelves and the stored wine. Thus, it's necessary to
choose insulation with adequate compression strength.
Improve the load capacity of the insulation (particularly under the shelve legs) by using:
- « Complex » insulation panels covered by panels of higher load capacity.
- Cover the insulation panel with a wooden panel (at least 15 mm thickness), or every other
appropriated material.
1.2.2.
Doors
Door improves the insulation. Two solutions are possible:
Glazed doors: use double glazing or even triple glazing with a good coefficient UG (max. 1.2

In the case of solid doors, these must be insulated in the same way as the other walls
