Introduction:
We all have KNOWN, for a long time, that having an elevator installed is like a major makeover project that takes forever, needs civil work that makes it look like you’re building a second home and is expensive. But things have changed, and drastically so. Would you believe us if we told you that installing your new home elevator can be as easy as installing a new AC?
Modern elevators—especially the shaftless home elevator—are changing the game. They’re compact, self-supporting, and designed to fit beautifully into almost any home. Whether you live in a sleek Dubai villa or a cozy two-storey in Sharjah, there’s now a home elevator for any space.
No heavy-duty construction. No structural overhauls. And definitely no chaos.
Even better? The cost of a home lift might surprise you—in the best way. In this blog, we’ll break down what a shaftless home elevator is, how much it costs in the UAE, and why it’s the smartest way to move between floors (without moving heaven and earth to make it happen).
What Do We Mean by “No Major Renovation”? Let’s Break It Down.
When we say you can add a home elevator without a major renovation, we’re not being cheeky—we mean no digging, no breaking walls, no structural drama. Seriously.
Nibav’s elevators are built with a shaftless, pitless, and machine-room-free design. Translation? They don’t rely on bulky support systems or deep foundations like traditional elevators do. Everything the lift needs to run is built right into its compact, self-supporting frame.
Here’s what that really means for your home:
- No Pit Needed: Most lifts require a deep hole beneath the ground floor (called a pit) to function. Nibav skips that entirely.
- No Shaft Construction: You don’t have to build a lift shaft into your house. The elevator brings its own enclosure, which supports itself—almost like a plug-and-play appliance.
- No Machine Room: Traditional lifts need a separate space for the motor. Nibav’s system is integrated into the structure itself, keeping it sleek and space-efficient.
Because of this, Nibav elevators can be installed in as little as 2 to 3 days—with barely any disruption to your daily life. And they fit easily into spaces like stairwells, corners, or even a living room corner if you want it to double as a showstopper.
So when we say “no major renovation,” we mean it. Just smart engineering that makes it ridiculously easy to bring a home elevator for any space into your life.
Designed for Any Home, Any Layout
One of the biggest myths about home elevators? That they only work in massive mansions or new builds. But Nibav is here to prove otherwise.
Whether you live in a duplex in Dubai, a cozy townhouse in Abu Dhabi, or a charming villa tucked into a quiet neighborhood, there’s a home elevator for any space—including yours.
Nibav’s elevators are compact by design and don’t require structural walls to lean on. That means they can be installed:
- In the middle of a staircase
- Tucked neatly in a corner
- Between rooms
- Even near the entrance as a wow-worthy centerpiece
One of our customers even installed their lift right in the living room, turning it into a sleek design feature—no extra walls, no fuss.
Because it’s self-supporting and shaftless, the lift adapts to your home—not the other way around. It’s the ultimate blend of form and function, allowing you to add mobility and comfort without giving up style or square footage.
Big or small, old or new—your home is ready for an upgrade. And Nibav makes it easy.
How Much Does a Home Lift Cost in the UAE?
Let’s talk numbers—because we know that’s the big question on everyone’s mind.
The cost of a home lift in the UAE can vary depending on a few things: the model, number of floors, customizations, and features you go for. But here’s the good news: with Nibav, adding a home elevator is more affordable than most people expect.
To give you a ballpark, Nibav’s elevators generally start at around AED 90000 and can go up to AED 250000 for fully loaded models. That’s for a premium, ready-to-install, all-in-one shaftless home elevator—designed with safety, comfort, and aesthetics in mind.
And when you look at what’s included—smart features, elegant design, advanced safety, and certified quality—you’ll see it offers incredible value. In fact, there are elevators on the market that cost twice as much and still skip out on some of the comforts Nibav includes as standard.
Plus, you save big on installation. No need for pits, machine rooms, or major structural changes. That alone can shave off thousands in construction costs and weeks off the timeline.
So if you’re budgeting for a lift that’s stylish, efficient, and future-ready, Nibav gives you top-tier quality—without the top-tier hassle or hidden costs.
Installation? Think Days, Not Weeks.
You’d be surprised how many people ask us this: “How long is my house going to be a construction zone?”
The answer? It won’t.
One of the biggest perks of choosing a shaftless home elevator like Nibav is just how quick and clean the installation is. We’re talking 2 to 3 days from start to finish—without tearing up your floors or walls.
Here’s what you can expect:
- No heavy civil work
- No deep pits or overhead space
- No machine rooms
- Just a neat, compact elevator that comes with its own structure
Our team handles everything from delivery to assembly. And because the system is self-contained, all the messy parts (wiring, mechanics, etc.) are already built in. It’s kind of like assembling a sleek, high-tech piece of furniture that just happens to lift you between floors.
So, while traditional elevators might require weeks of prep and mess, a Nibav lift fits into your home—and your life—without missing a beat.
Safety Comes Built-In
When it comes to elevators, there’s no compromise on safety. And Nibav doesn’t just meet global standards—we go beyond them.
Every Nibav shaftless home elevator comes with 5+ layers of safety. Whether you’re installing it for convenience, accessibility, or to support aging family members, safety is something you NEVER have to worry about.
Here’s what’s working behind the scenes:
- Automatic Emergency Landing: If there’s ever a power cut, the lift gently returns to the ground floor—no one gets stuck.
- Backed by Certifications: Our elevators come with TÜV SÜD certification and are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 standards—that’s globally recognized safety and quality, built right in.
- Durable Build: The cabin uses polycarbonate glass, which is up to 250 times stronger than regular glass, and has zero sharp edges—making it safe for children, seniors, and everyone in between.
- Soft Start & Stop: No jolts, no jerks—just smooth, seamless movement every time.
Whether you’re considering a residential elevator for seniors, kids, or anyone in your family, you can trust that Nibav has layered in the protection where it matters most.
