Wine Cellar Flooring Options

Designs done in mosaics for flooring are a blend of antique fine china, stained glass, and porcelain tiles. These materials are broken by the artist and fitted into a vineyard landscape, floral or grape motif,  wine bottles or glasses, geometric design, or even a picture of people or animals. They design is affixed to a mason board and grouted. Then a protective glaze is applied to seal the art work. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks for a mosaic piece to be completed. In flooring, this usually takes the form of a mosaic medallion or a signature piece for the center of your floor.

Stone

Finally, standard stone flooring may also be used in your wine cellar. You may chose slate, marble, travertine, or brick. Your flooring can be a random design or a well-thought-out pattern. Stone will need to be grouted. Whether it needs a  sealing agent will depend on the type of stone you use and the effect you want to achieve. Some people choose to seal slate for a matte or even a shiny appearance. You can use a water-based polyurethane penetrating sealer to give stone it's best protection. Marble usually requires a special sealant.

Flooring adds an exciting and practical dimension to a custom wine cellar. Use your imagination and put your personality into your cellar by choosing a flooring that expressed who you are.
