Product description
A compact modern cellar with an inclined entrance, for installation under a home, on flat ground or in a slope. Partially sunk, the cellar is easy to install, quick and inexpensive. Part of the excavated soil is used to form an embankment above the cellar for thermal insulation and additional aesthetics.
A comfortable staircase with a durable and long-lasting aluminum profile, classic steps, and a wide entrance make the cellar even more user-friendly. Allowing for easy access even when your hand is full.
A large number of lateral reinforcements with metal rebars tightly unify the poured concrete and the plastic cellar, creating a structure that benefits from the best characteristics of each material.
Durability, airtightness, and water tightness of the long-lasting polypropylene, strength, and power of concrete and metal.
The use of high-quality plastics and modern welding equipment ensures the unrivaled longevity of the cellar. Special maintenance and corrosion protection treatment are not necessary!
There is enough space in the cellar to accommodate several large shelves, wine racks, or other furnishings of your choice. And the ingenious design allows for virtually unlimited storage space thanks to the availability of modular connection.
This cellar is available in different sizes. For a bigger variant see:

Installation
Installation of a cellar for concreting Kolomaki Quick:
The cellar for concreting is also suitable for places with a higher static load.
Installation procedure:
At the selected location, we make a 20 cm wider excavation on each side of the cellar (see drawing) to create a working space for concreting.
The cellar is placed on a compacted and levelled 100 mm thick layer of aggregate fraction 8/16.
We will install the cellar using mechanisation. After settling the cellar, we will make a concrete slab with a height of 100 mm on the floor. Due to the load during concreting, after the cellar floor has hardened, it is necessary to support the ceiling using 4 stands and one wooden beam in the center of the ceiling.
The walls of the cellar must be reinforced with 2 longitudinal wooden prisms 80/80 mm placed at a height of 500 and 1000 mm before concreting. These prisms will be spanned using horizontal wooden spacers of 80/80 mm placed approximately at quarter lengths of the beams. Only then is it possible to concrete the cellar walls.
If the cellar is installed in places with a high groundwater level, drainage must be provided around the cellar with water drainage outside the cellar. The cellar is not intended for places with groundwater.
We must not pour more than 100 cm of concrete in one day. The thickness of the concrete around the cellar is recommended to be 150 mm.
Stand-off and removal of struts can only be done after the concrete has hardened sufficiently – at least 10 days.
Construction excavation:
The construction trench must be excavated in a sufficiently large area to maintain the width of the working area. The slope, or the slope of the excavation, will result from the local geological conditions. The recommended slopes of the construction pit walls are:
| Ground type | Ratio of height to length of the slope |
| Dusty clay | 1 : 0,25 |
| Clay gravel | 1 : 0,25 |
| Earth | 1 : 0,25 – 1 : 0,5 |
| Clay | 1 : 0,25 – 1 : 0,5 |
| Clay loam | 1 : 0,25 – 1 : 0,5 |
| Sandy clay | 1 : 0,5 |
| Boulder sand | 1 : 0,75 |
| Loamy sand | 1 : 1 |
| Sandy earth | 1 : 1 |
| Sandy gravel | 1 : 1 |
| Rocky earth | 1 : 0,5 – 1 : 0,2 |
In the case of more complex geological conditions, the structural engineer will determine the protection of the walls of the excavation.
The dimensions of the construction excavation are determined by the type of cellar – see drawing. The maximum height of the embankment in standard installation is 40 cm above the basement.
Location relative to buildings:
The cellar must not be bellow a building. Loads caused by any construction could lead to deformation of the structure. The cellar must be at least 1 meter away from the building.
Location on a slope:
If the basement is located on a slope, it is important to check the terrain to prevent landslides or other complications. A static calculation and assessment of the suitability of the stability of the subsoil or slope is carried out by a structural engineer or building designer every time the cellar is placed on a slope.
Non-standard mounting situation:
All non-standard assembly situations must be assessed by the structural engineer or building designer in order to exclude possible damage or imminent danger. On the basis of the project, a static assessment prepared by a professionally qualified authorised person must also be provided.
Transportation:
The cellar must be transported, loaded and unloaded with care. Impacts during loading and unloading are not allowed. Fastening the cellar during transportation must be done carefully, it is not allowed to use excessive force that can lead to deformation of the product body. It is recommended to load and unload the cellar using a crane, excavator or a forklift.
