HOME ELEVATORS -
A new standard in the home amenity
Just ten short years ago, it was difficult to find someone who had a home elevator installed in their home. Today, the home elevators one of the most sought after home amenity items that builders provide to their clients. |
The Evolution of Elevator Entrances and Doors - You now have more options
Without a doubt, aside from the main entryway to any multistory edifice, the most important doorways are the elevator entrances and doors found in the lobby or main floor. Now, with the evolution of the power sliding doorway system, both residential and commercial customers have more options, both in hoistway doors and car gates.

Trivia
 No one can prove that the paucity of high buildings before the modern era was due solely to the lack of a means to reach the upper floors. It could more easily be argued that the demands for utilizing urban space were never so great as to make the high-rise a necessity and that once the demand was there, human ingenuity rose to the job of inventing an efficient elevator. But one thing is certain: the idea of vertical transportation, if not the means, has been with us for well over 2,000 years. |
