Wine Cellar Options

Trap Doors

The Trap door covers half of the circular hole that is dug. The other half is covered with concrete and the floor covering of the room is fitted on top. The door can be positioned at any point on the centre line of the cellar - to suit the room layout or the easiest access point. We then locate the first step in line with the trap door. In most occasions, the open trap door is on your left as you descend the cellar and acts as a pseudo handrail.

As standard, the wine cellar comes with a four panel wooden trap door, measuring 1500mm x 900mm x 50mm (5 feet by 3 feet, and 2 inches thick). It has a gas strut to ease lifting of the door and supports the door in the open position. The door is coated with one layer of varnish but can be adapted by client to suit the room interior.

Other door options are available, at an additional cost...
