We are currently in the middle of fabricating a large metal feature staircase for the Loretto School in Kilkenny.
The staircase is manufactured using chennel stringers and folded plate treads.

We manufacture the mildsteel products in our mildsteel workshop which is completely seperate to our stainless steel workshop to avoid cross contamination of the stainelss steel material. Both workshops are located on the same site on Ballyfoyle, Co. Kilkenny.

The dimensions are cheked prior to fully welding.

Even on structures this size we polish the welds.

As we always say, welds should not be seen on this type of piece. We even polish out the stampings on the channels and identification marks are placed where they will not be seen on the completed work.

Attention to detail is one of our strengths.

Martin.

We were asked to install a brand new metal feature staircase for a shop unit in Limerick but the shop was not shutting to allow for installation so the only option was a night shift.

The stairs arrived from our workshop in Ballyfoyle on site at 6pm. The CDS site crews got to work at 8pm and left the site at 8am the next morning with the complete staircase installed.

The staircase was manufactured using mildsteel stairs structure, stainless steel balustrade posts and stainless steel handrails and toughened glass infill panels.

Well done Lads, great work.

Martin.

Any of our regular visitors to our site and workshop will be in no doubt aware of our endless persuit of weldless Architectural Metalwork. We are always on about fabricating pieces so that the welds are either fully polished or invisible.
Well………… We are fabrication 2 such metalwork packages at the minute. They consist of 2 feature staircases and all the associated balustrades to match.

We are polishing as many of the visible welded joints as possible but we are fabrication the other elements so as to avoid welding.

We have spent the time on the drawing board and detailed all the items so they are lazer cut and slot into each other perfectly and welded from the back.

Strength is on no way compromised and the appereance is just on another level.

We even carried this through to the stair treads.

When the fabrication of such metalwork pieces is thought out and full consideration given to the design and final apperance the end results can really be amazing.

Please feel free to contact us or even visit our factory to see for yourself what really can be done.

Martin.

Even though our metalwork is hidden in this case we are proud to showcase this particular stairs. We manufactured the complete staircase from mildsteel plate to give extreme strength so as to avoid having any legs going to the floor.

After the joiner had clad the metalwork we installed the frameless glass panels and fitted special plates to allow the joiner clad outside the glass.

This is another fine example of design before it’s too late.
Well done lads, another brilliant job.
As we say here, CDS…….. making metalwork less ordinary.
