An elevator is one of the more permanent decisions made during a custom home build or renovation. The cab finishes, door style, lighting, and panel configuration selected become part of that home for the life of the installation. HomeLift carries Cibes Symmetry residential elevator lines with a range of home elevator design options, from standard flat cab configurations to custom finishes with glass panels, designer doors, and integrated lighting. Stannah and Bruno brochures are also available for homeowners coordinating stairlift selection alongside their elevator design.
Brochures show what is available. The showroom makes it real. HomeLift’s Brentwood showroom features stationary cab displays, door samples, and an operational Ascenda lift, giving homeowners a tangible sense of how custom elevator cab finishes, door styles, and configurations look and feel before committing to a direction. Most homeowners find that seeing the materials and door options in person changes how they think about their design choices. Showroom visits are by appointment. Contact our team to schedule a time.
Some elements can be modified after installation, though the process varies depending on what is being changed. Cab panels and certain door configurations can be updated. Structural elements tied to the drive system or hoistway are more involved to change. Because most design decisions are significantly easier to make before installation, HomeLift’s team works through finish and configuration choices during the design phase rather than after the elevator is in service.
Doors. Most homeowners going through the home elevator design process focus on cab finishes and interior panels, but door style, door width, and glass versus solid configurations have a significant impact on how the elevator looks and feels inside the home. A new line of door options is now available through Cibes Symmetry, with more modern profiles than the traditional gate-style doors many homeowners associate with residential elevators. HomeLift’s team specifically covers door options during the consultation because it is the detail that changes the design picture most.
Standard cab packages include a flat panel cab, typically unfinished wood, with basic fixtures and a standard door configuration. Luxury home elevator design options include custom cab finishes in a range of materials, glass or mirrored wall panels, designer ceiling treatments, integrated LED lighting, and higher-end door styles including saloon doors and full-glass configurations. All flat cabs are produced in the United States. Our team walks through the differences during the consultation so the comparison is clear before anything is specified.
