Benefits Of Our Glass Lifts
By its very nature, a glass lift tends to leave the surrounding space in which it is installed much more visible than might be the case with some alternative lift designs. You might therefore be especially likely to specify bespoke scenic lifts for certain buildings – such as listed and heritage properties – that necessitate a high level of visual sensitivity.
Furthermore, a glass elevator can be an excellent choice when you wish to make stunning panoramic views possible for the lift’s users. This could be desirable if you wish to effectively market your commercial property, for example, to prospective tenants.
As aforementioned, our glass lifts can also be more compact than you might expect. This enables them to save space in parts of a building in which it might otherwise be difficult to install a lift, such as in a stairwell, on an outside wall, or next to a raised entrance.

Frequently asked questions
Structural glass refers to frameless glass engineered to bear specific loads based on its intended purpose. Glass floors are designed to support walking loads, while glass balustrades are built to withstand lateral forces like those applied by leaning or pushing. Its strength is what sets it apart from traditional glass materials.
Glass lifts are elevators featuring transparent walls crafted from toughened or laminated glass, offering a luxury and contemporary design. These lifts are popular in high-end residential properties, shopping centres, and offices, where they are seeking an impactful design. Their transparent walls allow for panoramic views during travel, making them a visually striking choice for moving between floors.
Glass lifts are equipped with a range of safety features to ensure passenger safety. These include emergency brakes, alarm systems, and backup power supplies to handle unexpected situations. The glass itself is toughened or laminated to provide exceptional strength, making it resistant to impact and shattering. These measures guarantee that glass lifts are as safe as traditional lifts, meeting rigorous safety standards for public and private use.
Maintaining a glass lift requires routine servicing to ensure its mechanical components operate safely and efficiently, just like traditional lifts. However, additional attention is needed for the glass panels, which should be cleaned regularly to maintain their transparency and prevent smudges or streaks. In high-traffic environments, more frequent cleaning may be required to preserve their appearance. Consistent care ensures the lift remains visually appealing and fully operational.
The installation of a glass lift typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on factors such as the design’s complexity and the number of floors served. Projects involving customised designs, intricate architectural integrations, or larger lifts may extend this timeline. Working with experienced professionals ensures that the installation is carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to the property.
Glass lifts generally come with a higher price tag compared to standard lifts due to the specialised materials involved, such as toughened glass and stainless steel, as well as the detailed customisation options available. The final cost is influenced by factors like the size, shape, and design specifications of the lift. While more expensive up front, their appearance and added value to a property often justify the investment for many customers.
Glass lifts offer customisation options to suit a variety of styles and practical needs. Customers can select from frosted, tinted, or clear glass, as well as different frame materials such as stainless steel or powder-coated finishes. Interior features, like bespoke lighting, flooring, and control panels, can also be tailored. Whether circular, square, or rectangular, the lift’s design can be adapted to seamlessly combine with its surroundings.
Glass lifts are constructed using toughened or laminated glass, which provides excellent strength and safety. These glass panels are paired with robust stainless steel frame materials, ensuring both structural integrity and an attractive finish. This combination of high-quality materials guarantees that glass lifts deliver reliable performance while maintaining their modern design.
Alliance Platform Lifts are dedicated to providing our customers with high quality, exceptional and circular glass lifts, cabin lifts and bespoke domestic lifts, with cost-effective support for life.
