Residential elevators are no longer just a luxury reserved for the wealthy or a necessity for those aging in place- they’ve become a practical solution for modern homes by providing convenience, accessibility, and an elevated standard of living for those with busy lives.
As more and more homeowners seek ways to improve the functionality and value of their properties, custom home elevators are gaining popularity. Whether for seniors, families with young children, or those simply seeking greater convenience for day-to-day life, a residential elevator can enhance your home’s usability and aesthetic appeal- so let RAM Elevators show you how you can benefit from having one of these game-changers in your home!
Common Applications for a Residential Elevator
While residential elevators are most commonly associated with accessibility for seniors or those with mobility impairments, their value and usability extend far beyond just this. For instance, multi-level homes can benefit from an elevator to easily move between floors, especially in larger properties where stairs may be inconvenient or disturb floor plans and layouts. Alternately, you have large furniture that are routinely moved around the home. In that case, an elevator can help reduce the likelihood of accidents or falls caused by trying to navigate stairs with a heavy load.
Additionally, custom home elevators are increasingly used in garages, allowing the safe and efficient transport of groceries, luggage, or other heavy items from the garage level to the main living areas. In multi-family dwellings, private access routes provided by elevators offer privacy and convenience for residents to enhance their living experience. RAM’s selection of luxury and customizable elevators means that your new install not only serves a functional purpose but can also be a stylish addition to your home that adds a touch of luxury and elegance.
Considerations Before Installing a Residential Elevator
Before you start picking out Flex Lift configurations or Prism accents, there are a few important factors to be considered when installing a residential elevator. The first step is assessing your home’s layout and structure to determine the most feasible location for an elevator. You’ll also want to consider the elevator’s size, capacity, and available space for installation.
RAM’s customization options are extensive, so homeowners can choose from various finishes, materials, and cabin designs to complement their home aesthetic. Whatever your personal style, we have an elevator solution that will work with your existing design. Beyond the superficial considerations, it’s also essential to consider the power requirements for your new elevator and whether or not your home’s electrical system can accommodate the elevator. You’ll also need to factor in building codes and regulations that may impact installation, so make sure you speak with your local bylaw authority before starting any work. Working with an experienced provider like RAM Elevators ensures all these considerations are handled with expertise.
Once your residential elevator is installed, maintaining it is crucial to its longevity and safety. Regular servicing and maintenance are essential, including inspections of the elevator’s door operation, control systems, and mechanical components. RAM provides comprehensive repair and maintenance services to keep your elevator running smoothly even after installation is complete.
Homeowners should also perform basic upkeep on their own to prevent minor housekeeping issues from becoming larger problems later, such as keeping the elevator clean and free of damage- but if there are any unusual noises or malfunctions, report these to a professional immediately. Scheduling annual inspections and maintenance with RAM’s expert technicians will help identify any potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and downtime for your elevator.
