Will your elevator be installed indoors or outdoors?

Outdoor elevator installations are typically driven by two primary scenarios. 

First, in retrofitting projects for existing buildings where no original elevator shaft was planned, an external shaft is constructed to facilitate vertical access for residents or passengers. 

Second, in new constructions, elevators may be intentionally designed as exterior observation lifts to enhance the passenger experience with scenic views.

 These externally mounted elevators predominantly feature transparent glass shafts paired with glass carriages. Due to the specialized structural requirements and premium materials involved, their construction costs are generally higher than those of standard indoor installations.

Indoor elevators are typically planned from the outset by property owners or developers to address vertical transportation needs. Consequently, dedicated elevator shafts are reserved within the building's initial design. 

Regarding the shaft construction, there are two main options based on specific requirements: 

Concrete Structures: This is the most common and cost-effective choice, serving as the primary option for the majority of projects. 

Glass With Stainless Steel Or Aluminum Alloy: This alternative offers a more modern and transparent aesthetic but comes at a higher cost. As long as a designated shaft exists within the building, an elevator can be installed.
