What Our Customers Are Saying
Personalized Design Options
Before your home elevator installation, you can personalize your cab design, or we can leave it unfinished so you can do your own customization on-site:
Walls
For the 200, 250, 300, and 400 cab models, you can choose from classic or exotic hardwood wall veneers. Our 500 option has acrylic panels, while our 100 cab uses paintable medium-density fiberboard.
Ceilings
While our 100 option has a white laminate ceiling and the 500 an acrylic dome, we can match all our other cab-style ceilings with your wall wood veneers.
Floors
You’ll get commercial-grade laminate with wood-grain finishes like cherry, walnut, maple and oak.
Lighting
We can install up to four overhead LED lights, or you can configure your own setup.
Fixtures
Choose from round metal or wooden handrails and three finish options for your hall stations and operation panel.
