As our needs evolve, so does interior design. In modern homes, form and functionality are no longer at odds, but find balance together. For much of the time they’ve been around, elevators have existed primarily because of their utilitarian value. Today, elevator design has taken on many architectural styles—including ultra-modern glass elevators. From luxe estates to modern townhomes, a glass elevator is the ultimate investment for both aesthetics and functionality.
In this article, we’ll explore our top reasons why you should invest in a glass elevator, tailored seamlessly to your home with RAM Elevators + Lifts. Read on!
#1: Seamlessly Match Your Home’s Aesthetic
A glass elevator is a blank canvas, thanks to its transparent design. They not only blend into nearly any space, but can be customized to add to it. At RAM, our glass elevators are offered alongside robust customization options, allowing you to make your elevator uniquely yours. From our stunning halo lighting to glossy, elevated cab panels—the choice is yours.
Some of our customization options include:
- Panel colour
- Trim colour
- Gate type (automatic/manual)
- Cab Lighting
- Cover Plates
#2: Boost Your Home’s Return-on-Investment
North America as a whole is facing a demographic shift, where populations are continuing to grow older. As this trend continues, by 2050, those 65 and older will outnumber those under 18. This growing trend shapes the housing market, with accessibility features quickly becoming one of the most sought-after amenities. In fact, one study found that by installing a home elevator, a home’s value can increase by an average of $30,000 up to $67,000.
Whether you’re planning for aging-in-place or looking to maximize your investment, installing an at-home glass elevator adds substantial, long-term value.
#3: Low Profile But High-Impact Inclusivity
Though stunning in design, the goal of a glass elevator is the same as other home mobility solutions: to bring users from one level to another. But where some home mobility solutions are designed to be folded and hidden away, a glass elevator can elegantly be the centre of attention. Despite their ever-increasing popularity in home interior design, glass elevators remain a unique centrepiece in any home. Glass elevators can boast a sleek, minimal footprint while also serving as an architectural statement piece.
#4: Optimized With Space Savings
Early modern elevators were commonly steam-powered, using a complex mix of cranks, pulleys, shafting, and belts. In order to house these components, steam elevators needed exceptionally large machine rooms—machine rooms were often much larger than the elevator car itself!
Fortunately, we’ve moved far past that point. Elevators of today are much more compact, perfect for space-conscious house designs. In fact, at RAM, our glass elevators are completely machine-roomless (MRL). MRL elevators allow essential elevator components to be seamlessly integrated into the elevator shaft itself—creating a refined, unobtrusive look in any space.
