Project: Bespoke Circular Hinged Glass Wine Cellar Door – London

This project highlights a recent installation for a private residential client, Sam, in London. The enquiry was made by a homeowner looking to replace a standard timber cover with a high-end focal point that showcased their collection while maintaining structural safety over a spiral wine cellar. 

Project Overview

The client required a circular  wine cellar door hatch that would sit flush with their existing floor finish to provide access to a spiral cellar. As the world's leading manufacturer and direct supplier of wine cellar doors, we designed a system that arrived fully assembled, making the installation simple for any competent person (Sam’s builder in this example)

• Customer: Sam

• Location: London (Nationwide & Worldwide Supply)

• Product: Circular Hinged Glass Floor System – Gas Strut Operated

• Diameter: 1200mm bespoke fit

• Materials: 25.5mm toughened and laminated structural walk-on glass

• Finish: Powder-coated black steel framework with back-painted black glass borders

Technical Expert Insight: Manual Gas Strut vs. Electric Operation

While this specific project for Sam utilized a manual gas-strut opening mechanism, choosing the right drive system is a critical structural consideration.

At Dio-Met, we solve the "heavy lifting" problem by precision-calculating the Newton-meter (Nm) force required for gas struts based on the specific diameter and glass weight  This manual system is ideal for those who want a tactile, simple opening experience at a more budget friendly price tag. However, for clients seeking the ultimate in luxury we also offer fully motorized electric versions. Our electric doors utilize high-torque linear actuators that handle the weight of the structural glass at the touch of a button, ensuring a smooth, automated transition into your wine sanctuary.
