Metal Staircase Test Builds


The Significance of Trial Assemblies in Manufacturing Metal Staircases

At DioMet Fabrications Ltd, we take immense pride in designing and manufacturing top-tier metal staircases that stand as both functional masterpieces and architectural statements. A pivotal stage in our manufacturing process is what we refer to as the "Trial Assembly." This seemingly simple yet highly essential step offers insights that transcend the mere question of "does it fit."

Why Trial Assemblies Matter:

  1. Perfecting Component Integration: Before we send the steel skeleton of a staircase for powder coating, we conduct a trial assembly. This critical step allows us to ensure that every steel component seamlessly integrates. While our designs are meticulously created using AutoCAD and precision laser-cut technology, there's no substitute for physical verification.

  2. Optimizing Hole Sizes for Custom Steel Staircases: We meticulously attend to hole sizes to accommodate the installer's needs, especially in confined spaces. Achieving the right balance is key to ensuring that custom steel staircases are assembled flawlessly. Sometimes we introduce slots for adjustment and installation tolerance. 

  3. Verifying Sizes: Despite our rigorous quality checks during the design phase, a final inspection of sizes before delivery adds an extra layer of assurance. This ensures that the staircase aligns perfectly with the intended space, whether for commercial or residential use.

  4. Ensuring Squareness and Leveling: The installation of a metal staircase greatly hinges on its squareness and levelness. If it isn't manufactured with precision in mind, achieving these crucial aspects during installation becomes a monumental challenge. Our trial assemblies allow us to verify all connections, leaving no room for surprises on-site. We can be sure that when any steel staircase leaves our factory that it all fits together perfectly, when assembled correctly! 

  5. Assessing Fabrication Quality: Material quality and fabrication precision are paramount in crafting metal staircases that stand the test of time. During the trial assembly, we meticulously scrutinize every weld and joint to ensure they meet our uncompromising standards and fully document the whole process as part of our UKCA certification- We remind customers that UKCA certification is a legal requirement of any structural steel product, such as a metal staircase and you should ensure your supplier holds this certification. 

  6. Adapting to Unique Builds: Every project is unique, often necessitating adaptations and innovations. While smaller design changes are typically implemented during live projects, the trial assembly serves as a safe platform to validate these alterations before they enter full-scale production.Changes to drawings or specifications could give rise to an oversight but such would always be found due to our trial build system. 

  7. Mastering Complex Configurations: Metal staircases often feature intricate configurations, including winding treads or spiral designs. Our trial assemblies encompass these complexities, ensuring that these components can be securely fastened and maintained square. Its very rare two staircases are the same and many projects will have some complex design details to suit the on-site challenges of a renovation. 

By prioritizing precision and quality, DioMet Fabrications Ltd consistently delivers metal staircases that improve spaces, whether it's a contemporary commercial environment or a bespoke residential setting. Each staircase we manufacture undergoes a meticulous trial assembly process, a testament to our dedication to excellence.
