Elevators have become a design trend and a necessity in modern homes, not only fulfilling transportation needs but also contributing to the aesthetics of a space. However, during usage, elevator surfaces can easily get scratched due to various reasons. Below, Benelifts suggests 7 useful tips to help keep your elevator shiny and scratch-free.
Use high-quality materials for the elevator
Choosing premium materials for the elevator cabin and doors can effectively reduce scratches. Materials such as stainless steel, high-quality aluminum alloys, and tempered glass tend to resist impact and scratches better than other common materials.
Apply surface protection materials
For areas prone to collisions like the cabin doors, handrails, and glass surfaces, consider adding protective films or using nano-coatings to prevent scratches. These protective materials help minimize external impacts without compromising the elevator's aesthetics. If your elevator is frequently used for moving items and is susceptible to collisions, consider this option!
For glass homelifts, applying a protective film is an effective way to safeguard the glass surface from impacts and scratches. A transparent protective film will not alter the functionality or beauty of the glass elevator.
Properly clean the elevator
Properly clean the elevator
Regular and proper cleaning not only keeps the elevator clean but also prevents scratches. Use a soft cloth and ensure there is no sand or dust that could cause abrasion. Additionally, use specialized cleaning solutions and avoid strong detergents that could damage metal and glass surfaces.
Regularly inspect and maintain the elevator
Regular maintenance helps identify and promptly address even the smallest issues before they become more serious, ensuring smooth operation of your elevator system. During maintenance, technicians can utilize professional methods to refresh the elevator surfaces. For affordable homelifts, maintenance intervals are typically 1- 3 months. For elevators in buildings and apartments, maintenance should be carried out at least once a month.
Use non-slip floor mats inside the elevator
A small tip to reduce elevator scratches is to use non-slip floor mats inside the elevator cabin. These mats not only increase safety but also reduce dirt and debris from sticking to users' shoes, which can cause scratches on the floor and elevator surfaces through friction.
Avoid bringing sharp objects into the elevator
Avoid bringing sharp, large objects into the elevator
Avoid bringing sharp or large metal objects into the elevator as they can easily cause scratches when in contact with the cabin walls or doors. Limit carrying such items or handle them carefully to prevent scratches and damage to the elevator.
Apply nano-coating to protect glass elevators
Nano-coatings are widely used to protect glass surfaces from dust and scratches. This coating creates a "transparent" protective layer on the glass, shielding it from external impacts and helping the glass maintain its shine.
Protecting your elevator from scratches not only maintains its elegant appearance but also prolongs its lifespan. By following the above advice, you can keep your elevator looking like new and preserve the beauty of your space.
