Wooden staircase design service adapted to the production possibilities in your workshop

When you want to modify an interior staircase or build a new one, you have two options: either buy a specific type of staircase from a specialist shop or call in a master carpenter. If the location of the staircase is well defined, the design is simple and you have no special requirements, you may find a ready-made staircase in the shop. But cases where you need to adapt the staircase to an already built house are quite rare. So the option remains to call in a craftsman or a joinery workshop that does such work. If the shop doesn't specialise in stairs, it will be hard to do it without a project, relying on inspiration and talent alone. A staircase needs to be secure, easy to access and fit naturally into its dedicated place. That's why a project is needed. Dipproject by Dippanels offers you such a professional service adapted to the production possibilities in your workshop.

The design of the ladder is a guarantee of quality work for the customer and precision and reduced working time for the workshop

There are two types of customers, those who know exactly what the staircase should look like and those who ask the craftsman to make them a wooden staircase that fits the place. In both cases there can be problems. When we have a particular design in mind, we focus more on aesthetics, often ignoring safety and utility. If all the ideas end up in a project, together with measurements and technical information about the site, you can see the final result before work starts. Weaknesses are then identified, and the necessary adjustments are made so that the aesthetics, which are primarily desired by the client, are preserved. In the end the desired scale will result, minus the weaknesses ignored at the beginning.

When the client turns to the craftsman's design and inspiration, the project helps them see what the result will be. If he is not satisfied, he can change certain elements, with the designer recalculating the calculations so that strength and safety do not suffer. This eliminates changes made at the end that can affect the safety of the ladder.

Dipproject offers you such a professional design service based on experience and documentation in the field so that the ladder complies with all current regulations. The project only requires a few measurements made at the client's premises on the basis of a form that Dipproject provides. The measurements are simple and minimal. After the design you will receive the 3D model of the staircase for presentation to the client.

The templates that the designer provides with the staircase design are an important aid to a classic workshop

Services are tailored to each type of workshop. If the workshop is classic, the manufacturer will receive within 48 hours after the last details of the project and the templates with specific details. By gluing the template to the wood, you will be able to accurately cut out the staircase elements on circular table saws or hand-held power saws. All drilling, milling or cutting details are marked on each template, eliminating mistakes.

Until the execution of the templates, Dipproject takes care of the calculation of the staircase geometry, the construction details and the sketching for the project presentation. The 3D model of the staircase is given to the contractor to present to the client. After approval, the templates are made with all the necessary elements of the production accurately marked.

Exact dimension files, transferable to the CNC in a modern workshop, considerably reduce working time

The CNC is an increasingly common machine in small and medium-sized workshops. The precision and ease with which it does machining has convinced many to make such a purchase. The machine is also a solution when manpower is a problem, successfully replacing the work done by multiple machines and operators.

When the staircase builder has such a CNC workshop, will receive, after execution and approval of the project, the DXF files of the project, with all related details, to be transformed by post-processor. The processing of the ladder elements can be done quickly and accurately.

In this case, too, the design is based on the dimensions in the designer's form. The contractor will just have to go to the client and make the measurements. He will then receive the 3D model of the staircase and present it to the client. If the client wishes to modify the original design, this will be done by the designer while maintaining the safety and accessibility of the staircase. The files will arrive at the workshop only after final approval of the project.

Because always safety first, when you have to build a staircase, it's best to use a professional design service. By the nature of the profession, designers are always up to date with all the regulations relating to stair construction and can inform you about the latest regulations in the field. In addition, their long experience enables them to find solutions to the most difficult and unusual requests related to wooden stairs.
