Here are the key reasons to consider shaftless home elevators for your home.
A home elevator can greatly improve comfort, independence, and accessibility within your home. However, traditional residential elevators require a dedicated hoistway, structural modifications, and a significant amount of floor space. For many homeowners, this can be challenging or simply unnecessary. That’s where shaftless home elevators come in.
Shaftless elevators offer a compact, efficient solution designed specifically for homes where space is limited or construction needs to remain minimal. Here are the key reasons to consider one for your home.
They Use Less Space
Like we just mentioned, shaftless home elevators are better-suited for people who don’t have as much space in their homes to fit a traditional elevator. These units operate on a rail system either wall-mounted or freestanding and travel through a modest floor cut-out between levels. This compact design makes it possible to enjoy the convenience of an elevator without sacrificing entire rooms or major square footage.
The Installation Process is Simpler Than Other Elevators
Shaftless home elevators are easier to install than traditional elevators. This is because, not only does an elevator shaft not need to be built, but you also don’t have to dig up a pit to create the elevator’s foundation. With the installation process being much simpler, you can start enjoying your new elevator sooner.
They Come With Many Safety Features
Shaftless home elevators have many safety features that help keep homeowners safe while using them. For example, they’ll only move once the doors are closed, and each one comes with a backup battery that will keep the elevator moving in the event that the power goes out. You can also expect them to have an emergency phone that can be used if you’re ever stuck in your elevator. Some even come with upper and lower safety pans, which stop the elevator from moving if obstacles are found either above or below the elevator while it’s in motion.
