Wine rooms
Glass Wine Rooms and Enclosures
A conditioned glass box inside your house. Every one is a custom project quoted after a site visit, because the glass is the easy part and the sealing is not.
What you are buying
The glass is not the hard part
A wine room holds a temperature and a humidity band different from the room around it. That means the enclosure has to be sealed, the door has to have a real gasket and a closer, and the cooling unit has to be sized to the glass area and the heat load.
A beautiful frameless glass box with a 3/8 in gap under the door will run its compressor forever and never hold humidity. This is why we quote these after seeing the space rather than from a configurator.
What we handle and what we do not
We handle the glass, the door, the hardware, the seals, and the install. We coordinate with your cooling contractor on the opening and the unit location.
We do not size or install refrigeration, and we do not build the insulated shell behind the glass. If nobody has been assigned that scope yet, the project is not ready to quote.

Questions
Answered plainly
We do the glass enclosure and the door. Refrigeration, insulation, racking, and electrical belong to other trades, and the project goes better when those are assigned before we quote.
