In Home Elevators

For a mobility issue, or just for the convenience, an in home elevator can be the perfect thing for you.  Live in your home without the hassles of getting from one floor to another via staircases.  Read on to learn more.

Why Have a Home Elevator?

An elevator in your home can help to solve access and liveability issues.  They are particularly helpful for people that have impaired mobility in some form, whether through a disability or through age.  However, a home elevator can be useful for everyone.  They can help you with bringing in the shopping or furniture removal, make it faster to access different floors of your home, or simply be a tool for convenience and comfort.  Home elevators can increase the value of your home by as much as ten percent.

Features of Home Elevators

In home elevators have several features including:

• quiet and smooth operation system
• speed of up to 0.25m/s
• no separate machine room required
• optional automatic door opener
• glass shaft and car options
• safety features such as door interlocks, cable safety devices, emergency light, alarm, phone, etc
• handrails

Choices Available in Home Elevators

Home elevators are available in a range of colours, materials, and styles in order to blend with your home’s décor.  You can opt for a classical look, or a modern, sleek look.  Even better, you can customise an elevator so that it meets your needs perfectly.  There are three basic areas of design – the door, the cab, and the control panel.

Home elevators are low maintenance and take up much less space than a staircase.  Elevators are also much safer – you are almost one million times more likely to be injured going up and down your stairs than on a home elevator.  They can be installed as part of new construction or can be retrofitted into existing homes.
