Custom glass wine cellar enclosures built to your actual space, with panels cut to fit and door systems sealed for stable climate performance. Designed and installed by Preferred Glass & Windows in the Santa Clarita metro — AAMA-certified, no subcontractors, since 1969.
The right enclosure concept depends on how your home is built and how the collection fits into the space. At Preferred Glass & Windows, we review sightlines, ceiling height, and wall structure before making any recommendation. Full glass wine rooms work in dedicated alcoves or rooms where the cellar is meant to be an architectural feature. Wine walls work in open floor plans where you want the collection visible without closing off the room. We've built both — in new construction, high-finish remodels, under-staircase conversions, and open dining areas — and every project starts with a site visit, not a phone estimate.
Most projects use low-iron tempered glass, which removes the green tint standard glass carries along cut edges. On large panels, that tint shows against the bottles and racking — low-iron keeps the view clean. Panel thickness and hardware are matched to the height and span of the enclosure for a stable, secure result.
The door system is where climate performance is either won or lost. Santa Clarita's warm summers mean a wine cellar cooling system works harder than it would in a milder climate, and a loose seal strains it further. We plan hinge and handle placement so the door closes flush at every contact point, and adjust the seals manually during installation.
Preferred Glass & Windows has been a trusted provider in the Southern California area since 1969, and the team still handles every project in-house. We're AAMA-certified, fully licensed, and insured. For custom glass wine cellars, that means knowing how to coordinate with cooling contractors, how to seal panels in climate-sensitive enclosures, and how to build to a high-finish standard where gaps or misaligned hardware aren't acceptable. Every installation carries a lifetime guarantee. If something isn't right, we fix it.
A wine wall uses one or more glass panels to keep the collection visible from the living space without closing off the room. A fully enclosed wine room uses glass on multiple sides to create a separate climate-controlled space. The right option depends on your layout and how you want the collection to function in the room.
Most wine cellar projects use low-iron tempered glass. Low-iron glass removes the green tint that standard glass carries along cut edges, which matters on large panels where that tint is visible against the bottles and racking. Tempered glass adds the strength and safety rating needed for large structural panels.
Yes. Warm summers and dry inland air mean a wine cellar cooling system in Santa Clarita works harder than it would in a milder climate. Door seal quality and panel fit directly affect how well the system holds temperature. We fit and adjust every seal during install so the enclosure performs correctly from day one.
Common locations include dedicated basement rooms, under-staircase spaces, dining room alcoves, and open living areas where a wine wall fits the layout. We review your space during the site visit and identify where an enclosure will perform and look best.
Most projects move from site visit to completed install within two to four weeks. The timeline depends on panel count, glass type, and door system. We confirm the schedule after the site visit so you know exactly what to plan for.
Yes. A wine wall with frameless glass panels works well in open layouts. The collection stays visible from the kitchen or dining area and the room stays connected. We work through sightlines and panel placement during the planning visit to find the right configuration for your space.
I loved going with Preffered Glass as it was recommended by a family friend to fix my antique hutch cabinet. I spoke with Courtney and I needed 2 new pieces for my doors. She was great she got the measurements I needed and what I wanted. She got the work done same day. And when I installed the pieces one needed to be cut a little more because it was a little to big. She personally went to the back and cut the piece I needed so it can fit properly. 10 out of 10 recommend for all your Glasswork needs.
Preferred Glass & Windows is an amazing company to work with beginning to end on any project! Scott came to my house to give me a quote on shower doors for my master bath and on all my windows. He was extremely professional and helpful and made sure everything went smoothly! Courtney at the front desk was super friendly as well and very knowledgeable and she had no problem answering any of my questions! The customer service was top tier and the installation job was even better! I will definitely be a returning customer.
We had a broken window called for service to replace it. They came the next day measured the window said it would be a week or two to get the window call the next day. The window came in sooner than expected, they came that afternoon and installed it it came out great very impressed with their level of service. Thank you very much!!!
