Top 5 Benefits of Shaftless Elevators for Residential Spaces

Introduction – Improving Daily Lives in the UAE

In a time where modern design and architecture has emerged as a true indicator of modern-day luxury in the UAE, homeowners are looking at products that embody design, comfort, and of course, modern technology. The incredible homes being designed and marketed in Dubai are not only opulent, but they are also practical – with luxurious villa homes, duplexes embodying a spirit of modernity – the soaring demand for home elevators is soaring.

Of all the innovative ways to improve residential living, shaftless home elevators will be one of the most disruptive potential advances. Unlike a traditional elevator, shaftless elevators do not take up loads of vertical space, require any machine rooms, installation pits or require civil works for retrofit or new build constraints. Shaftless elevators can be sleek, modern, and can seamlessly implement into a previously built home. Shaftless elevators are seatbelted safe, they are accessible and design integration is often seamless.

In this blog, we will review the top five benefits of shaftless home elevators for families in the UAE including, accessibility, security, installation ease, design, and ultimately higher value for your property long-term.

1. Enhance Accessibility – Encouraging Barrier-Free Living

Convenience for all Family Members

Making your home accessible for all of your family members is critical. When there is a lot of time spent navigating stairs as a barrier to one family member or another, it becomes tiring for everyone – including seniors, a small child or individuals who may have mobility restrictions. A shaftless elevator can restore barriers to easy access between levels. Seniors retreating to their bedrooms, parents dragging groceries, and kids exploring and learning how to use a lift, make accessibility part of your family’s home, as an accessible living environment.

The Everyday Practicality of Accessibility

Accessibility does not just mean special considerations for people who have mobility needs. In many houses in the UAE, traditional family life means that large families live across multiple levels in a home, and transporting luggage, clean laundry, shopping or virtually anything!, between levels could be an arduous chore to do, to say the least. For families with more than one level, a shaftless lift makes accessibility uncomplicated, easy and lessens some work.

2. Safety not just for people with mobility issues – Families Only Need to Worry about Enjoying/Home

ISO 9001:2015 and TÜV NORD Certified European Standards of Safety

Safety is the most significant consideration when planning to install a new home lift. Nibav’s shaftless lifts provide a level of safety that meets a standard under ISO 9001:2015 and TÜV NORD Certification, as they are built to the laid down European safety standards, such as:

• Emergency alarm and telephone located inside the cabin

• Child lock switch that disables the operation of the cabin

• Automatic descent capability in the event of a power outage

• Smooth-start and smooth-stop

All of these features create peace of mind and safe and reliable movement through all members of the family.

Avoiding Injuries from Stairs

Accidents at home from fall, and/or trip on the stairs, happen to every household. By choosing a shaftless elevator, homeowners throughout the United Arab Emirates can also reduce the risk of injury that may occur by physical movement on the stairs, because it is a low-performance expenditure, especially for children and seniors, to provide for safe movement across multiple levels.

3. Easy and Efficient Installation – For UAE Homes

Minimal Civil Work

The shaftless elevator produced by Nibav is a free-standing product and does not require any civil work, like pits, shafts, or machine rooms, unlike traditional elevators. Thus Nibav’s shaftless elevator is a great option and easy to install in villas and duplexes because of the building aspect of minimal civil work, and giving the consumer the chance to preserve the aesthetics of the interior living space of the home.

Fast Installation

Apart from the civil work, Nibav elevators consist of modular contained products that will install in 2-5 days, reducing disruption to home life, especially in busy urban cities like Dubai, or families living in fast-paced cultures where a home elevator can sometimes become a requirement.

Restricted Space Requirements

Shaftless elevators can actually fit in places in buildings where the occupancy has diminished, such as useless corners, hallways, or other confined quarters, within a permitted space of about 1010mm or 40 inches. Unsurprisingly for luxurious villas or apartments in several cities throughout the UAE, the ratio of spaces for individuals and the elevator together can make for a solution while improving safety, cost or comfort.

4. Aesthetic Quality and Personalization – Classic Design and Innovation

A Design Statement

The UAE is a world where homes become a reflection of lifestyle. It’s a given; in design, design is everything. Nibav’s shaftless elevators have 360 degree panoramic glass cabins with a cylindrical design that can easily fit into any modern home.

Personalization Options

Homeowners can choose:

• Hydro-dipped finishes for a more premium look

• Leather-wrapped handles for a more luxury feel

• Luxury colours including terracotta, grey, gold, and black

These personalization options mean your elevator is not only a functional feature in your home, it will become a luxury feature in your home.

5. Increased Property Value – A Smart Long-term Investment

Resale Benefit

Homeowners with elevators will see their home’s value higher than others in the competitive real estate landscape of the UAE. A shaftless elevator can also increase property value by more than 10 to 15 percent, while also being a key selling feature to help homes with modern comfort and modern solutions for accessibility.

Future Living

Even beyond the prospect of financial gain, a shaftless elevator is a long-term lifestyle investment. With member maintenance, energy efficiency, leading-edge technology; it will future-proof the home and will provide convenience with safety and provide this convenience for years to come.
