Motorised Glass Floor Door Systems
A Project Gone Wrong? Why You Can’t Just “Whack a Motor” on a Glass Floor
At Dio-Met, we love helping customers create stunning features like walk-on glass basement doors and wine cellar doors. However, we’re increasingly seeing a troubling trend: more and more people are calling us with projects that have gone wrong.
We’re hearing stories of snapped actuators, doors that don’t lift correctly, and systems with no safety features at all. Many of these calls come from people who are either halfway through a failed DIY project or trying to fix a faulty system from an uncertified supplier. Often, they just want to buy a new motor.
This is where we must be clear: you cannot simply attach a motor to a motorised glass floor and expect a safe, reliable result. A hinged glass floor system is a highly complex, carefully calibrated piece of engineering.
Why Our System is More Than Just Parts
Unlike cheap, uncertified alternatives, our hinged glass floor system is a single, integrated unit. Each of our products is individually set up to work in perfect harmony:
-
Custom Calibration: Each unit's motors are individually set up to account for the unique weight and dimensions of the specific glass panel and frame.
-
Precision Telemetry: We calibrate the amperages and strut telemetry to ensure the unit lifts and closes smoothly and optimally in both directions.
-
Integrated Safety: Our UKCA-certified systems are tried, tested, and refined over 33 years in the industry. The safety features we build in—like our synced control box, closing sounders, lockable switches and remote controls, and auto-reverse system—are not optional extras. They are integral to the system’s safe operation and cannot be retrofitted.
When you purchase a motorised glass floor from us, you are not just buying parts; you are investing in a decades-long heritage of expertise, uncompromising safety standards, and a product that is tried, tested, and refined to be the best in its class.
Whether you're starting a new project or desperately looking for a solution to a failed one, don't compromise on safety. A hinged glass floor should be a source of pride and beauty, not a hazard.
Choose the proven solution. Choose a Dio-Met system that is designed, built, and guaranteed to work.
