Home Elevators

In urban areas around the world, equipping multi-story buildings with elevators comes first. Since the size of elevator rooms are not large, they do not particularly limit the main dimensions of the building.
What about the installation of elevators in residential houses?
Stairs in houses, as a rule, serve homeowners transition from one floor to another and are a variant of the original design decision. Unfortunately, it is not comfortable for people with disabilities (disabled or elderly parents) to live in such houses.

Thanks to the development of lifting devices and mechanisms technology, designing houses with an elevator initially fit into the overall design concept. Around the world, companies building such modern homes have achieved excellent results.

Much of this surge of interest can be attributed to the care of parents who are getting older and face significant problems when climbing stairs. As house architects always look at the changing demographic picture of homeowners, it is logical that a residential elevator has become a popular option for a modern home.

But then again, elevators in residential houses make sense for home buyers, as the concept of universal design (making homes more accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities) is emerging.
There are three main types of elevators for residential buildings: hydraulic elevators, traction elevators, and pneumatic elevators. Some are better suited for building a new home, while others are ideal for retrofitting old buildings.

In general, hydraulic and traction lifts are more expensive than pneumatic lifts, their cost varies depending on many things, such as the number of floors that will serve the lift and the level of luxury lift you want to see.

Adding an elevator to an existing home is an expensive venture, so if you are not sure if you want an elevator now, you can build a shaft for use as a dressing room or a closet until you need an elevator. This is a great way to save time, money and not to experience disappointment later.

"When planning each floor, you should think about where the elevator will open, it's good to have the exit in the direction of the common area. In doing so, plan for corridors that are wider than usual.
