Semi-Circle Glass Spiral Cellar Door
Transforming Traditional Wine Cellars: Introducing Dio-Met's Custom Hinged Glass Floor System for Semi-Circular Openings
At Dio-Met Fabrications Ltd, we pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of what's possible in custom metalwork, and our latest innovation, the Semi-Circular Hinged Glass Floor System, is a testament to this commitment. Specifically designed for the unique challenge of semi-circular openings often found in wine cellars with spiral staircases, this system not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also the functionality of these spaces.
The Challenge of Semi-Circular Openings
Traditional wine cellars, especially those with a concrete built cellar and steps, often feature a rectangular opening at the top. This opening might cover a semi-circular section of the spiral staircase below, which is typically hidden by timber doors. While functional, these timber doors can detract from the modern, elegant ambiance many homeowners desire. Here at Dio-Met, we've noticed an increasing number of clients seeking a more contemporary solution, leading us to develop our custom hinged glass floor system.
Our Innovative Solution
Our approach begins with understanding the existing architecture. We design a rectangular steel frame that perfectly fits into the recess of your wine cellar's opening. This frame not only provides structural integrity but also serves as the base for our innovative glass solution to hinge from with either gas struts or electric actuators.
The real magic happens with the glass itself. We follow the arc of the semi-circular opening with cleverly painted glass borders that seamlessly blend with the surrounding decor. This technique not only hides the concrete from above but also offers a sleek, finished look that's both modern and sophisticated.
A Peek into the Process
When you choose Dio-Met for your custom hinged glass floor, here's what you can expect :

Custom Design: We draft a design that respects the original architecture while introducing a modern twist. The steel frame is engineered to fit the existing recess precisely.
-
Fabrication: Utilizing high-quality materials, we fabricate the steel frame and prepare the glass panels. The glass is treated and painted to follow the semi-circular arc, ensuring a perfect fit.
-
Installation: Our skilled technicians install the system, ensuring that the glass floor not only looks beautiful but also operates smoothly, with hinges that allow easy access to your wine cellar. Alternativley you can arrange your own installation as the unit will be supplied fully-assembled and ready to fit.
