A Newbie’s Guide To Installing Wine Cellar Art On A Standard Wine Cellar Archway

A few wine cellar projects ago, one of our valued clients purchased a custom wine cellar painting from our wine cellar art collection. Along with it, he also sent a query that gave the inspiration for this post! Its queries like these that make us really happy because now we can share some more useful wine cellar solutions with everyone. Today, it’s all about how you can install wine cellar art on a standard wine cellar archway like that from our Designer Series wine racks kit.

Basically, you can request our design team to do the installation for your convenience. However, there are also those who prefer to do it themselves which isn’t really a difficult thing to do nor an impractical one, especially if you’re planning on putting up the wine racking system from our kits yourself. Now essentially, when you send in an order for a custom wine cellar painting, there are two ways to have it installed. You can simply attach it to the wall or if that isn’t too viable, have the canvas stretched and stapled to the back of the kit archway. So let’s proceed with these very simple steps on how to stretch a canvas on a board.

1. First, roll out your canvas on a flat and clean surface like maybe the floor. Make sure it’s clean since you wouldn’t want your beautiful painting all messed up even before you have installed it. Then, put the frame on top of it and keep in mind that the edges of the canvas have to fall over and cover the outside edges of the board as well.

2. Now it’s time to attach your canvas to the stretchers. The best strategy is to begin from the middle the canvas and work your way outwards and do it in opposites. This will make your work easier and stretch the canvas evenly over the entire board. You can start from the center of any side and staple the canvas to the back of the board first. Then, put in about three staples about two inches apart and just repeat the process with the other two edges until you’re done.

3. Next, try to get someone to help you stretch the canvas as taut and tight as you can over the board. Repeat the stapling process on the edge that is diagonally opposite to the one you had just finished. Continue with all the remaining edges until the entire canvas is neatly stapled in place.

4. Lastly, you’ll have to work on the corners of the board. Fold the edges of the canvas on the outer corners as neatly as possible and staple one on top of the other. It’s better to get someone to help you stretch out the canvas and hold the fold in place as well. In case there are still bubbles or creased portions, simply brush a layer of water over the painting. Don’t be scared of doing this because our oils are guaranteed waterproof!

The same process more or less works with stretching a canvas across an opening. You start out by placing a staple in the middle of each edge then stretching it out and stapling diagonally after that. If you need the canvas to be very taut and secured, you can have a distance of only around 1 to 1 and ½ inch per staple.

Quite simple, isn’t it? But if you run into roadblock during the installation procedure, it’s not a cause for alarm. Just contact us and we’d be happy to help sort things out!

 

Large Custom Wine Cellar In Amber Blaze Mahogany With Vintage Wine Barrel Tabletop

They say that a hero is born, not made. Well, we have a different take when it comes to luxurious wine cellars. Luxurious wine cellars are anything but born – they are CREATED and crafted with a passion. This huge and magnificent wine cellar we’re featuring today is the perfect example. Allow us to take you on the grand tour!

What we have here is a super spacious custom wine cellar showcasing the timeless beauty of Amber Blaze Mahogany wine racks in Dark Walnut stain.  The entire cellar can easily hold over 3,000 wine bottles in individual and bulk storage options. It features the Platinum Series as can be gleaned from the extensive variety in wine racking system as showcased in the image.

In checking out the video walkthrough for the cellar, you will come to find an elegant combination of Diamond Bins below and solid Vertical Display Racks. Note that the Display Racks are a great location to store and display oversize bottles, bottles with unique shapes, or the best place to highlight the jewels of your collection.

Smack at the center of the wine cellar is a gorgeous Vintage Wine Barrel Tabletop to complement the tabletops on the wine racking system made from 1 3/8″ thick Amber Blaze Mahogany.  It further features   a Pull out wood case storage with a concealed drawer for added functionality. Curved corners and high display reveals add to the drama, complemented by a Solid Archway that strategically displays a classic piece of wine cellar art.

Completing the lavish set-up are custom LED Downlights which are a perfect choice since they are low heat, energy efficient, and with over 50,000 hours of running time in them. We’d also like to call attention to the ingenious installation of Puck lights in the archway. These Puck lights re likewise made of LED and match the light frequency of the other accent lists in the racking. Keep in mind that when you put in custom lighting to your cellar, you need to ensure that different light wave lengths do not detract from its overall look and feel.

Did you get an eyeful of that beautiful cork flooring in the video? Cork is a natural and durable material as well as a rapidly renewable resource. Utilizing it as part of your wine cellar is a highly commendable, eco-friendly choice! The final touch to this opulent wine cellar tour  is one of our Standard Doors with etching on the arched glass. The stone work that was added around the door looks exquisite and blends in with the home’s existing decor.

Did the tour inspire you? We certainly hope so! If you dream of owning a luxurious wine cellar as this, all you have to do is consult our experienced design specialists. We exert all possible efforts to realize any and all wine cellar dreams – while working within your budget!
