[HOMEOWNER SHOULD SEE] Things to Know When Designing a Home Elevator - LACO Complete House Construction ----------------------- Thanks to home elevators, each person's movement becomes much more convenient and simpler, limiting the need to use stairs. Transporting furniture is also easier without wasting human effort. Should we design and install an elevator for a 3-4 story house? This makes it difficult for many families to arrange and divide bedrooms for members on the upper floors. Many households with 3-4 story houses have installed elevators for convenient movement, bringing great efficiency. How much house area should an elevator be installed? When installing an elevator, we cannot remove the stairs because of safety when using them. It is an emergency exit when the elevator has a problem. Therefore, the area used for stairs and elevators is relatively large. Elevators require a fairly large floor area, at least 60m2/floor. A house width of 4m or more will be easier to install. On the other hand, elevators also need a separate system, beam structure, and load-bearing floor. Staircase and elevator layout. Currently, there are 2 popular ways to arrange elevators in tube houses: designing the elevator in the middle of the stairs and designing next to the stairs. 1. Elevator layout in the middle of the stairs. Advantages: • Installing the elevator in the middle of the stairs means that we can design and build stairs with lower steps because the total length of the stairs is always longer than the operating distance of the elevator. • In projects where elevators are installed in the middle of the stairs, homeowners may not need to make handrails for the stairs because you can use the elevator as a handrail frame. This helps homeowners save both construction costs and installation time. Disadvantages: • Using the open space of the staircase to install the elevator cannot get natural light through this empty space. Therefore, it causes a feeling of being closed and uncomfortable when light and air cannot circulate. • Occupies a lot of horizontal space when the stairs surround the elevator. 2. How to arrange the elevator next to the stairs Advantages: • The open space between the stairs is still kept intact, ensuring the purpose of getting light and circulating air throughout the house. Creates a feeling of ventilation for the entire house. • Building the elevator separately from the stairs creates an airy, spacious feeling. In addition, the use of handrails also helps each family's space look more beautiful and have higher aesthetics. Arrange the stairs next to the elevator. Disadvantages: • Takes up the length of the house. • Costs more to construct handrails and railings. This type is more popular when building new ones. Cost of installing a home elevator? The price of a home elevator depends on many factors such as: Number of stops, load, speed, origin, brand, geared or gearless motor, new or old elevator, PLC or microprocessor technology electrical cabinet, imported control cabinet or domestic connection, pattern, elevator material... Based on the choice of elevator type, equipment configuration, model, home elevator will have a price ranging from the cheapest from 300 million to 950 million VND depending on the actual requirements of the homeowner. ----------------------- LACO Construction Company specializes in closed-loop work from licensing, design, rough construction, to complete house construction; houses, offices, in project areas to villas in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.
