Full glass
GlassCore
A premium full-glass elevator cabin designed to create an open and luxurious experience.
Metalux Pro, the everyday workhorse cabin
A modern metal cubicle cabin built for families who will use the lift many times a day. Durable panels, a quiet ride, and a contemporary finish that does not show its age.
What Metalux Pro is for
Metalux Pro is the model we recommend when the lift is going to be worked hard. A powder-coated or stainless steel cubicle cabin takes knocks from luggage, furniture and daily traffic far better than glass, and the panels can be refinished years later without replacing the cabin.
It is also the most forgiving model structurally. A solid cabin hides small tolerances that glass would expose, so Metalux Pro often fits older buildings where the shaft void is not perfectly square.
- Large families using the lift many times a day
- Older buildings where the shaft void is not perfectly square
- Homes that also move luggage, trolleys or furniture between floors
- Projects where budget matters more than a panoramic view
What comes built into Metalux Pro
A modern metal cubicle cabin offering durability, comfort, and a sleek contemporary finish.
Built for daily traffic
Steel cabin panels that shrug off trolleys, luggage and furniture, the practical choice for a busy household.
Powder-coat or stainless
Choose a powder-coated colour to match your interior, or brushed stainless for a harder-wearing surface.
Tolerant of imperfect shafts
A solid cabin absorbs the small out-of-square you find in older buildings, where a glass cabin would show every millimetre.
Quiet, smooth ride
A 2 HP or 3 HP worm-gear drive on a counterweighted rope system, so the lift does not announce itself to the rest of the house.
Designer cabin interiors
Interior panels, handrail, mirror, flooring and lighting all specified with you rather than fixed at the factory.
Best value in the range
Steel panels cost less than structural glazing, so Metalux Pro usually lands lowest on a like-for-like quotation.

Metalux Pro, frequently asked
The questions homeowners ask us most often about this model.
Will the cabin finish scratch?
Any finish will mark eventually with daily use. Brushed stainless hides scratches best because the grain disguises them; powder coat holds colour better but shows a deep scratch more. Both can be refinished in place years later, which is a real advantage over a glass cabin.
Is Metalux Pro cheaper than the glass models?
Usually, yes. Structural glazing is the single most expensive component in a home lift, so a steel cabin normally brings the quotation down for the same travel and capacity. We will price both on your survey so you can compare directly.
Can I have a mirror and better lighting inside?
Yes. Cabin mirror, handrail, flooring, ceiling and light temperature are all specified with you before fabrication. A mirror on the rear wall is a common choice because it makes a small cabin feel considerably larger.
Does a solid cabin feel closed in?
It is smaller inside than a glass cabin of the same shaft size, because the panels take up depth. A rear mirror, a light-coloured interior and warm lighting go a long way. If claustrophobia is a genuine concern for someone in the house, look at GlassCore or AirRail instead.
