DESIGNING ENTRANCES & INTERIORS OF LIFTS
Side Panels
Brushed metallic, plastic laminates with
curved corners are easier to keep clean, ideal
for heavy usage lifts. Plastic laminates are
available in a variety of finishes, allowing for
greater flexibility in the design. Luxurious
panels can include exotic woods, Bronze,
Brass metallic finishes or a variety of leathers.
Look for functional safety features such as fire-
resistant properties or anti-vandal along with
assisting people with disabilities by including
handrails, which also protects side panels
from damage.
Mirrors & Floors
Mirrors enlarge & lighten the confined
space and allow passengers to monitor the
behaviour of their neighbours from a safety
aspect and generally allow the passenger to
feel more comfortable. Non-slip floor materials
such as rubber or matching the lift car floor
to the landing floor design are very popular
requests. It is important the material is robust
and high quality.
Ceilings & Lighting
Ceiling height should be considered for safety
and aesthetic reasons. Studies highlight a
person’s mood can be affective by the light,
changing the light settings at different times
of the day aides the transition between the
building and lift car appear more seamless.
Control Panels & Buttons
Clear standards must be followed, however
cosmetically they can look however desired,
with options to add, video messages,
advertising, corporate videos or family
memories for domestic lifts
Landing Entrance & Car Doors
Doors generally have an arduous life being
consistently subjected to impact damaged,
wrongly selected materials becoming shabby
fast. Aesthetics of both landing and lift car
doors can be enhanced with a wide range
of bespoke finishes by either treating door
carcass or replacing the door, which can
transform the appearance of the lift.
