THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOME LIFTS

Properties come in all shapes and sizes — and so do lifts. In a new dwelling, a lift can be part of an architect’s plans. In an existing home, there is a need to place the lift around the current house layout. The choices are endless and broadly fall into these categories:

Lifts: up to five people can travel between floors with a choice of door options, finishes and configurations.

Through-floor lifts: up to two people travel between the ground and first floor, best suited to smaller spaces.

Service lifts and dumbwaiters: transporting food, groceries and goods between floors, ideal for properties with three or more floors, or where the kitchen, garage or dining area are on different levels.
