What is included

What does Panoramic elevator installation include?

Panoramic elevator installation covers the shaft, the cabin, the drive system and the finishes chosen with you.

Shaft and steel frame
The shaft frame is built from steel to hold the glass panels firmly in place.
Glazed cabin
Cabin dimensions and the number of glazed sides are agreed with you to fit the shaft.
Machine and controller
The machine is fixed and the controller set so the elevator stops level at every floor.
Landing doors and cabin door
Doors are chosen with a finish that matches the shaft glass and their openings are set.
Cabin and shaft lighting
Fittings are placed inside the cabin and along the shaft to show movement without glare.
Cabin floor and ceiling finish
We choose floor and ceiling materials with you to suit the building's décor and daily use.

The problem and the answer

From the problem to the answer

Glass changes the installation entirely

A panoramic elevator is not installed the way a standard elevator is. The glass panels carry their weight on the steel frame, and any deviation in the frame alignment shows in the appearance before it affects performance. Many building owners discover that the shaft size they planned does not fit a glazed cabin at the dimensions they want.

Planning starts with the shaft

We start by understanding the available or planned shaft size, then choose with you the cabin dimensions, the glass type, the door finish and the lighting. The step nobody sees is aligning the steel frame before the glass panels go in, because that alignment is what makes the elevator look the way it was planned to look. Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us the building type and number of floors, and we agree the details.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

Does every building suit a panoramic elevator?

No, it depends on where the shaft sits and how big it is, and whether the glass will face inwards towards a lobby or outwards on the facade. Panoramic elevators suit wide lobbies and open spaces where the movement can be seen, but a narrow shaft surrounded by walls will not show the benefit of the glass.

How does installing a panoramic elevator differ from a standard one?

The main difference is in the shaft and the cabin. A standard elevator has its shaft built from concrete or block and the parts fitted inside it, but a panoramic elevator has a steel frame constructed precisely before the glass panels are fixed, and any deviation in alignment shows in the finished appearance.

What should I prepare in the building before panoramic elevator installation begins?

Mark out the shaft position and make sure it is clear of pipes and other obstacles, and check that the floor carrying the steel frame is level and able to take the load. It helps to decide on the cabin and door finishes beforehand so we can agree on the specifications smoothly.

What should I check on a panoramic elevator after installation?

Check the glass from several levels to confirm the framing is even and there are no cracks or gaps at the joints. Run the cabin between all floors and watch that it stops level at each one. Also check that the lighting inside the cabin and along the shaft works without a glare reflecting off the glass.

Does a panoramic elevator need different maintenance from a standard one?

The mechanical system is the same as in a standard elevator, but the glass adds an element that needs attention: the joints and glazing seals are affected by thermal expansion over time and need periodic inspection to confirm they are sound. Regular maintenance by the team that carried out the installation is always advisable, and that is why maintenance is among the services the company covers.
