Three Tips for Creating a Custom Elevator

The possibilities for designing a custom elevator appear endless. Or, are they? Rather than get carried away or feel yourself restricted by limitations, consider the following tips:

1. Coordinate

One of the best tips to keep in mind when thinking about installing an home elevator is to make certain that the manufacture of the elevator, the contractor, and the homeowner are all on the same page. In order to make sure that there are no delays or mistakes, then all three parties should have regular meetings and conference calls. Just like with adding an addition onto a home or installing a new pool, getting a custom home elevator can prove to be just as exhausting as it is thrilling.

2. What About Décor?

Another helpful hint about installing a home elevator would be to make sure that the type of elevator fits the décor of the home. There are just as many different types of lifts as there are different interior designs of homes. Over the course of the last quarter of a century, there have been numerous innovations along with cost lowering inventions that have drastically reduced the price of a residential home elevator. One of the best innovations is the pneumatic elevator; moreover, this type of lift can be installed in a relatively short period of time. There are glass elevators, completely customized lifts, elevators that are designed for use outdoors and even lifts that are designed to transport large weight loads. Instead of installing an ungainly stair-lift or having to physically carry a disabled family member up and down a flight of stairs, a properly installed and stylish pneumatic elevator is a convenient amenity to have in a home.

3. Think About Value

A residential glass elevator will also help in improving the resale value of a home. In the toughest housing market in years, every unique stylish amenity can help prevent a house from not selling in a timely fashion.
