Wine Cellar and Wine Storage Insulation
Successful wine storage requires constant temperature and high humidity, creating some unique problems for insulation. Most insulation would under perform in these conditions, but Foamular is not affected by moisture in the air, so it is ideal for this unique circumstance.
Serious wine storage requires expensive temperature and humidity control, but Extruded polystyrene's high R-values create an effective barrier to temperature fluctuations, reducing the strain on machines and improving energy efficiency.
"Insulation Is An Investment"
Extruded Polystyrene can be directly fixed to timber, steel, masonry or concrete. Extruded Polystyrene will not aid in the transfer of humidity, which helps protect the adjoining rooms and structures. Foamular is also an ideal substrate for many finishing systems, including render, timber and stone.
Extruded Polystyrene is closes cell insulation, so it minimises potential water absorption. This is vital, since water absorption reduces insulations thermal abilities. Foamular Extruded Polystyrene requires no additional waterproofing and can easily cope with regular water immersion, making it ideal for retrofitting on older buildings

Wine storage represents a unique situation, with high humidity and low temperatures. Most insulation would under perform here, but Foamular is guaranteed to maintain its physical and thermal properties.
