Residential Home Elevators
As more and more individuals are choosing to age in place, residential home elevators are becoming one of the most practical and valuable home upgrades available. No longer considered a luxury reserved for large multi-level homes, today’s home innovators are compact, stylish, energy efficient, and designed to help homeowners remain safe and independent in the home that they love.
Whether you are navigating stairs that have become difficult or planning for long-term comfort and accessibility, a home elevator offers you a forward-thinking solution.
Who Can Benefit From A Residential Home Elevator?
Residential home elevators benefit a wide range of individuals and families. In the past, people used to think that home elevators were only for people living at home who had mobility challenges; however, the reality is that there are several benefits to installing a home elevator, including:
- It allows seniors to age in place rather than relocate to assisted living facilities. With stairs often being one of the first major obstacles to remaining at home, a home elevator significantly eliminates this barrier.
- It allows people with conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and neurological or balance disorders who often struggle with stairs to remain independent and pain-free.
- Residential home elevators allow people who use wheelchairs and walkers as mobility aids to safely access various levels of their multi-level homes.
- Home elevators relieve the strain that caregivers and loved ones who assist people up and down stairs often face. Home elevators decrease the risk of injury for both the individual and the caregiver.
- Home elevators allow multi-generational households with a variety of mobility challenges to have access to all the areas of their home.
- Installing a home elevator increases the property value, especially in multi-level homes.
The benefits of installing a home elevator include:
- Reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
- Increased comfort and Independence for individuals with mobility limitations.
- Improved comfort during the transport of items like laundry baskets, vacuum cleaners, and luggage.
How Do Residential Home Elevators Work?
Unlike traditional shaft-based elevators, Stiltz home elevators operate on a unique dual rail system. This dual rail system supports the structure, so these elevators do not require hydraulic systems, deep pits, or load-bearing walls.
Traveling through a simple floor aperture, home elevators can be installed in a few days, go between levels, and can be installed in various areas of the home, including:
-
Living rooms
-
Bedrooms
-
Hallways
-
Stairwell Voids
-
Closets
