    Cellar Construction This is only a guide and shall be considered as minimum requirements. All interior walls and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R13 insulation. All exterior walls and ceiling shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R19 insulation.
  • Page 5: Features & Specifications

    Features and Specifications • Wine-Mate wall split cooling systems WM-1520~2520SSW are designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated wine cellar. • The wine cellar will maintain humidity range within 50~70% RH. • These temperature and humidity ranges like in natural caves are optimized for long term storage of wine.
