Glass, railing or metal cabin: choosing the right home elevator

Each of our four models solves a different problem. Here is how to match the cabin to your stairwell, your family and the look of your home.

Full-glass home elevator cabin in a living space

All four Vertico models share the same core: a counterweighted drive, a wall-mounted guide track and no machine room. What changes is the cabin and the structure around it. Choosing well comes down to three questions: how much space you have, how often the lift will be used, and how much you want it to be seen.

GlassCore: when the lift should be a feature

GlassCore is a cabin made almost entirely of tempered glass. It adds light to a stairwell instead of blocking it, which suits double-height entrances and open-plan homes where the lift will be on show.

AirRail: when space is tight

AirRail is a railing-style, open-view lift with the smallest footprint we build. It is the practical answer for narrow stairwells and tight courtyards where a full cabin will not fit.

Metalux Pro: when it will be used all day

Metalux Pro is a metal cubicle cabin built for families who use the lift many times a day. The panels are durable and the finish is designed not to show its age.

EnclosureX: when the house is already finished

EnclosureX is a steel and glass tower that carries its own loads. Because it does not lean on your building, it can be added to a finished house, inside or outside, without cutting into the existing frame.

The details that stay the same

  • Load capacity of 150 to 300 kg.
  • Travel up to ground plus three floors.
  • Space needed of approximately 4 ft x 4 ft 6 in.
  • Digital floor indicators with call buttons on every level.
