An elevator seems predestined for a building such as a large office and apartment complex or a hotel. "But nothing could be further from the truth," said general manager Angelo Castro of Ace-Liften from Melsele, Belgium. "We see that more and more homeowners and architects are opting for a house elevator. It offers a solution to continue living longer and comfortably in one's own home. The house elevator is on the rise."
With the home elevators, Ace-Lifts fulfills the need to age comfortably in one's own home, according to Castro. "We are introducing the first elevator designed exclusively for private residential homes. It is developed and manufactured in Sweden. Thanks to innovative engineering, the elevator is customizable and fits any type of home anywhere in the world. With its unique style and lighting, the elevator beautifies the entire interior. All we need for installation is an opening."
When choosing the right elevator, it is especially important to consider the desired size. "The passenger elevator consists of a self-supporting tube with a size of just under one square meter to a maximum of one and a half by one and a half meters. Choosing the right size depends on its use; one to two people or with a wheelchair. Here the available space inside also plays a role, but if it is limited we have another solution; the outdoor elevator. Like the indoor elevator, this can be designed completely to your own taste."
"The advantage of our passenger elevators is that they are aesthetically very attractive and have a nice finish. The back wall is available in different colors, as is the floor. You can also choose to have everything made in glass or a combination of them. You can make it as you wish. In fact, the manufacturer has paid a lot of attention to the finish of the elevator. We see more and more that architects are already taking into account our elevators."
The cost of a home elevator is favorable. "With the self-supporting tube, heavy building structures are unnecessary. The mechanism works electrically and the elevator is equipped with two batteries, in case of unexpected power failure. The overall energy consumption is classified with energy label A and maintenance costs are also limited. The design and the possibilities to personalize the elevator to one's own taste make it a real eye-catcher in the living room. Something the end user is proud of."
