Home Elevators
Elevators are seen in commercial and residential buildings such as condominiums. We have elevators for easier access to higher floors. This will ease our transport and save time especially if our office is located on the 30th floor. But didn’t you know that elevators can also be found in residential houses? It doesn’t have to be a building but a typical house.
There are different reasons why a household wants to have their own elevators. One reason is because they have the money. Elite people have big houses. In fact, they even have 4 to 5 storeys. With this size, of course it is just natural for them to have their own elevators. Another reason is actually the need for it especially for safety and medical reasons. For instance, you have an elderly in your home but the room is located upstairs. The easiest and most convenient way to assist them is by having your own elevator. This is very convenient and a fast mode of transportation that will not cause any accidents. This is also useful if you have kids that you don’t want to use the stairs for safety reasons.
In building an elevator for a home, it can already form part of the overall design of the house if it is still for construction. But if it is an unplanned project, you need to coordinate this with a qualified contractor that can properly construct a hoistway for the purpose of having an elevator. The role of the construction company is just to provide the hoistway that will be used for the elevator. The installation of the elevator is not their expertise. You need to look for a licensed and expert home elevator installation team to do the job.
Elevator installers are independent. As long as the hoistway is there and properly constructed according to the size of the client’s needs, it will be easy for them to install the elevators. You need to ensure that they are experienced installers so that the safety of the household is intact. Safety means not just installing the cab properly but to also ensure that the materials used are high quality materials.
Elevators vary in designs, size and finishes. You can plan for designs of the elevators or you can seek advice from the installers on what is the best and applicable design that your house can handle.
Sizes of the cab differs. It can be single, for two persons or more. The size of the cab is dependent on how big your hoistway is and other factors that need to be considered such as the materials used in constructing your home and a lot more.
A professional and expert elevator installer can easily provide you with a presentation on the best size, design and finishing to do with your desired elevator.
You can seek advice and ask for quotation for their proposed elevator installation. The important thing is that the elevator will be installed properly and it is safe to be used in accordance with the standard weight of the cab installed.
