If you are a manufacturer of wooden stairs you are, first and foremost, passionate about wood. There are few who work with wood just because it just happens to be the way it is, there was no place for it anywhere else. Working with wood is not easy, but if it's done with passion everything becomes easy. The things that come out of the hands of passionate woodworkers are true works of art made with inspiration and meticulous care. When you have to make a staircase in a house, it's not just about how beautiful it will look, but also how well it will fit into the space, how easy it will be to use, how harmonized it will be with the decor. All this can be done by a company specializing in wooden staircase design, which will take care of the calculations, technical drawings and analysis of the limitations of the space. Such a service is offered by Dipproject by Dippanels.
Functionality meets design
Limiting it only to the practicalities of a staircase narrows the horizons greatly. Indeed, the ladder should get you to safety from one level to another. That is its main purpose. But it can't just be done anyway. You can't make a staircase without thinking about where it's best placed, what kind of staircase fits in that space and, last but not least, how it will fit into the architecture of the house and add as much value as possible.
A staircase can become as much a feature of a home as a piece of furniture or a design object. It's all about imagination, calculation and analysis. Imagination provides the attraction, calculations and analysis tell you whether the fruit of imagination will be useful and safe. Specialized design has the means to check hypotheses and design them in 3D. In this way, each hypothesis can be analyzed finally choosing the one that best combines functionality with design.
But all these operations are time-consuming. Time that a woodworker can use to do what he does best - working with wood. Outsourcing staircase design to a specialized firm the design time will be reduced, the most suitable and safe option will be chosen and the time saved can be used for another woodwork.
Things to consider when choosing the type of wooden staircase
In theory, any scale model can be made in any home. But only in theory, because in practice there are issues that limit the options. Choosing a model should be based on a few pieces of information:
- the difference between the two levels. For example, if the distance is less than 2.5 m a straight staircase can be made and if it is more than 3 m an angled staircase can be made, which deviates at an angle from the straight line;
- the space it can occupy on the ground;
- the weight of the staircase and what it will have to support: risers, handrail, pillars, balusters;
- the arrangement of windows, doors and other important elements to be kept clear, avoiding obstruction of entrances and access routes;
- position of the ladder: in the corner, along the wall, in the center of the room.
All this information will lead to a reduced number of options. These, in turn, need to be analyzed and calculated identifying the most appropriate option for the project under consideration.
How Dipproject can help you
Dipproject, the company specializing in wooden stairs design, can help you with the entire design process, providing 3D models to present to the client. The design will be based on the information you will provide after full measurements. To make sure you don't miss any important information, Dipproject will send you a form with the necessary data. Simply fill in the form. On the basis of this data, calculations and analysis will be made, resulting in the 3D models presented to the customer.
Once you have the customer's agreement, each element of the staircase will be processed and you will receive the data according to the facilities in your workshop. If you are a classic machining enthusiast, you will receive 1:1 templates with all the details noted on them to avoid any mistakes. The precise location of holes, cut-outs or grooves will be indicated. In the end they will fit perfectly, reducing working time and material waste.
If the workshop is equipped with CNC you will receive the DXF files and production details so you can process them on the machining center. They will be tailored to the type of CNC - 3, 4 or 5 axis. Again, you will feel the savings in time and material.
For things to be done correctly and in the shortest possible time, everyone has to do what they do best and for which they have the necessary training. This is the case with wooden stairs. The design and the execution of stairs are two different operations, each requiring knowledge and skills, and it is best to have them done by specialized companies or people.
