    Trial Built to Perfection for Global Export

    In the heart of Sheffield, Dio-Met continues a 30+-year legacy of precision metalwork. This project was a unique logistical success: manufactured for Brad in Guernsey, we trial-built the entire unit in our workshop before delivering it to Kidderminster for self-export.

    • Precision Engineering: The kite-winder design is a strategic choice for properties requiring efficient, space-saving turns. Each step and stringer is calculated to navigate tight corners without sacrificing tread safety.

    • The Trial-Build Ritual: Before this staircase left our Sheffield workshop, we undertook a comprehensive trial build. This rigorous quality control process ensured that every segment and bolt hole was flawless—crucial for a project being exported to Guernsey where on-site modifications would be difficult.

    • Plug-and-Play Installation: By assembling the unit in a controlled environment, we verified structural integrity and gathered every necessary fixing. This allowed Brad's own firm to handle the final installation with total confidence, knowing the "tailored" fit was guaranteed by our Sheffield team.

    Technical Expert Insight: Ensuring Winder Accuracy for Remote Sites

    The primary engineering challenge with a kitewinder staircase—where the steps narrow on one side to navigate a turn—is ensuring the "walk-line" remains consistent and safe. Even a 2mm deviation in the stringer geometry can lead to a staircase that feels "off" or fails building regulations. At Dio-Met, we mitigate this by performing a full workshop trial build. For clients like Brad in Guernsey, this step is non-negotiable. We don't just check the steelwork; we verify the exact bolt-hole alignments and tread clearances under load. This allows us to supply a "plug-and-play" system that arrives in Kidderminster ready for the final leg of its journey, ensuring that the staircase integrates seamlessly into the structural opening without the need for on-site welding or specialized adjustments.
