Material Selection
First, begin by choosing the material you’d like for your home elevator. Genesis offers seven different beautiful finishes: white, maple wood, alder wood, red oak wood, mahogany wood, walnut wood, or cherry wood.
Handrails
Handrails are an important feature of any elevator, and you can customize them according to your wants. There are many different options to choose from, depending on the color and finish you’d like. Handrail options are available in brushed or mirrored finishes of different thicknesses.
Fixtures
Great design is all about the details! Our cab builder lets you customize each and every option, even the type of fixtures used within your custom home elevator. For the elevator buttons and controls, you can choose between several metal finishes, like brushed bronze or matte black.
Lights
You can also customize the lighting in your elevator. Most modern elevators utilize LED lights because they are energy-efficient and function as emergency lighting.
Gates
The last option is to choose what type of gate you’d like in your custom home elevator! Some common gate types include swing doors, accordion-style doors, and traditional elevator sliding doors.
Now, you’ll have a complete home elevator design from start to finish! Happy home elevator designing!
