Hi folks,

In the process of designing a new house and we have decided to put in a lift. My architect designed a lift with a glass shaft and so far the quotation for the lift alone came back at about 60k. Some helpful bros in this forum has recommended me their lift vendors but the quotation is fairly high as well. Does anyone installed lift with glass shaft before or has any lift vendors to recommend? Please share with me your experience? I am hoping to bring the cost of lift down to 50k ish. Thanks!

Hi imzz,

congratulations on your new house! Perhaps can you share some floor plans or photos? 

Can share the contacts of your lift suppliers you got quotes from? I’m also looking for lift for my new house and hope to get a few more quotes.

I guess the higher cost could be due to the glass lift shaft which I presume the lift supplier of providing. If you change to non-glass might be cheaper.

Hi, PMed

Still at design stage, so no pic yet. Yes I do think that non-glass is cheaper because glass lift is heavier and require a bigger motor. But I have some design constraints, so a glass lift actually makes the place look bigger.

Still considering..

actually the lift is still make of metal. just that the shaft will be made of glass panels which is more expensive than using bricks/concrete blocks to build the lift core/shaft. with glass lift shaft, you can basically see all the lift mechanisms compared to everything hidden for normal brick/concrete walls for the lift shaft.

edit: just saw some pics of lifts with glass panels so additional cost could be for tempered glass for the lift panels as well
