Ways to Spruce Up and Modernise Your Lift

Whether your lift is looking old or feeling rickety, it’s probably time to consider upgrading it, giving it a much needed makeover to bring it swiftly into the 21st Century. From design features to lift modernisation services, there are many ways you can do this.

Lift modernisation involves the technical process of upgrading and modernising an older lift by replacing parts to ensure it runs smoother, faster, more efficiently and safer. As well as this, design features and creative ideas can modernise your lift in the sense of aesthetic value, providing a fresh feel and appearance for employees, clients and customers visiting your building.

From budget-friendly upgrades to expensive renovations, we explore some cool ways in which you can spruce up and completely modernise your lift, making it look brand-new.

Glass walls and mirrors

Upgrading your lift so that the walls are glass is incredibly beneficial and will help modernise your lift. When letting in more natural light, rather than being faced with cold and metallic walls, this adds an air of elegance and luxury as well as boosts morale and mood. With glass walls, customers or employees can watch the outside world below, making for a less drab and claustrophobic experience. Be careful not to include glass floors in this though as the transparency could be very off-putting to those who have a fear of heights.

As well as structural wall changes, you could also consider adding mirrored walls inside also, which will also help create the illusion of light and make the space feel less stuffy.

Sleek doors

With people in a constant hurry, they’d definitely rather take the lift over the stairs, so there’s nothing worse than clunky and slow doors opening and closing at a snail's pace. For quicker operations and to keep everyone happy, consider upgrading your doors. Not only will this speed up operations, you can also choose a cool and stylish door to fit your new lift look. From glass panels to creative patterned surfaces, the options are endless.

Electrical operations and control panel

Similar to slow doors, there can be nothing worse than getting into a lift to find an archaic lift button or control panel system that is so unintelligent or doesn’t work properly. Definitely consider hiring lift modernisation experts to upgrade your buttons and electrical systems to one that is faster and safer. With this upgrade, you could choose a fancy system such as a touch screen or sophisticated coloured lights. Finally, ensure that your new buttons have braille added to the buttons too.
