If the cellar is not insulated enough, when frost sets in it will inevitably freeze, which, in turn, will negatively affect the safety of the products stored there.
To begin with, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the reasons for this, undoubtedly negative, phenomenon.
These include the following: insufficient insulation, lack of heating, nearby sources of vibration and, finally, abnormally low temperatures.
Fortunately, the problem can be solved, and you can use any of the suggested methods to do so.
Insulation of walls and floors
To achieve this goal, you will need thermal insulation materials such as polystyrene foam or mineral wool, which must be attached to the walls and floor of the cellar.
Sealing the cellar
Before insulating (or instead of it), be sure to check the cellar for cracks or holes through which cold air penetrates. If found, they should be sealed with a sealant or mounting foam.
Installing a heater
If external conditions continue to create problems with the temperature in the cellar, then you can install a heater to maintain a comfortable temperature.
The correct approach to insulating and heating the cellar will help preserve food and ensure its freshness.
Earlier we talked about why water might drip from the ceiling in a cellar.
