Discover the joy of a timeless work of afunctional art and performance you can trust from RAM and learn more about the benefits of a home elevator below.
Function Meets Design
Today’s luxury elevators combine advanced engineering with customizable design features that complement the home’s style. This allows every unit to seamless integrate into your space, elevating and enhancing the aesthetic by integrating your elevator right into the very architecture of the house itself. At RAM, we also know part of creating the perfect fit is ensuring you get plenty of input. That’s why our models, including our crystal and stratus are able to be customized to match their surrounding settings for the most natural (or dramatic!) look possible.
From contemporary homes to traditional estates, the result is a system that feels like a natural extension of the living space.
Interior Finishes That Match the Home
So, how can you customize your elevator? There are plenty of ways with RAM! One of the most noticeable elements of a luxury elevator is the interior cab design. Common options include:
- Wood veneer panels
- Custom wall finishes
- Elegant metal trim
- Glass panels for a modern look
Door and Entrance Customization
Elevator doors can also play a significant role in the system’s visual design and functionality. Depending on the layout of the home, homeowners choose different door styles, including:
- Swing doors that match the surrounding interior doors
- Sliding elevator doors for a modern appearance
- Glass door options that highlight architectural spaces
These various options mean that the elevator entrance can become an attractive design element rather than something hidden away.
Lighting and Interior Details
Lighting plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere of a luxury elevator. Modern systems often incorporate soft LED lighting, accent illumination, or ceiling designs that reflect the broader lighting style used throughout the home. This helps the elevator feel like a natural extension of your home, and ensures it stands out, or blends in, as much as you personally prefer.
Engineering Behind the Experience
So, what’s the real luxury behind a home elevator? Undeniable quality. While aesthetics are important in luxury installations, performance remains the foundation of any elevator system. At RAM, we take performance seriously and strive to provide the best results possible by using a design that uses an all-electric traction drive system that eliminates hydraulic fluids while providing smooth, quiet movement between floors
