Let’s face it – moving is hard. Changing rooms can be even harder. So, if you’re a homeowner who loves your home but who is starting to struggle to get between floors, there’s a solution. It’s called a home elevator.
Imagine what it would be like if you had a simple and convenient way to move within your home. Imagine being able to visit every room of your house with ease. Imagine how much safer, more accessible, and more practical it would all be. At Staying Home, we see our residential elevators as a way to extend people’s lifestyles as well as their living space.
In this post, we’ll discuss what home elevators can do for your everyday living and what models are available to you. So read on to find out more.
What a Home Elevator Can Do for Everyday Living
Years ago, you may have only considered home elevators as something only for homes with several floors. Today, more homeowners are upgrading their existing living spaces with more vertical space than leaving their existing homes behind. This is true whether they’re aging in place or already living with a physical limitation. These days, it’s a practical choice. Our home elevators are one part of this growing interest in residential vertical mobility.
Installing a home elevator changes the everyday experience of life for many of our clients. We hear over and over how glad people are they decided to install a residential elevator. These systems open up more options for using the home and restore the freedom to move around again without fear or struggle.
Choosing the Right Residential Elevator
A residential elevator system is not the one you’d find in an office building. Commercial elevators are made to fit large structures. Residential elevators are designed to fit smaller spaces and work with your everyday life.
Clients choose residential elevators because they love their existing homes. They like where they live. They also like the size of the space. They want to stay where they are for as long as they can. At Staying Home, we make sure to customize each installation.
Access Doesn’t Stop at the Front Door
Mobility is essential inside and outside of the house, too. Clients often come to us because they struggle with access to their porches or patios. Adding an outdoor elevator for residential use can change all of this. Outdoor elevators can stand up to everyday use and harsh weather conditions for years to come.
There are several models we can install in these situations, but our Outlook Outdoor Elevator is one of the most popular. Homeowners who have one of these outdoor elevators installed say that it works quickly and quietly. Most also say that it has a smooth operation that is dependable all year long. Outdoor residential elevators can fit the style of your home and give you or your loved ones easy access to the outdoors.
An outdoor elevator can make a world of difference for a home. Instead of thinking about only getting up and down steps, an outdoor elevator makes the house usable again. Whether it’s carrying groceries into the house from the driveway or simply stepping out to enjoy the patio or garden area, access to these areas of the house should be convenient, reliable, and safe.
When a Vertical Platform Lift Makes More Sense
A vertical platform lift can make access to a two-story home easier. Platform lifts are ideal for shorter vertical distances and can be used for access from a porch, from a garage entryway, or from a home doorway that is higher off the ground. We sometimes recommend vertical platform lifts when space is limited.
Vertical platform lifts are also a solution when homeowners need an everyday vertical mobility system that ramps cannot provide or where stairs have always been difficult. Clients are often surprised at how quietly and simply vertical platform lifts operate, and they notice how minimal they are in terms of taking up space visually in the home.
