About Our Glass Lifts
When it comes to luxury glass and scenic lifts, Alliance Platform Lifts delivers exceptional results. We have a strong track record of working closely with architects, property owners, and both residential and commercial clients to design and install beautifully engineered glass lifts that enhance and complement their surroundings.
Our meticulous attention to design, dimensions, materials, finishes, and technology allows us to create bespoke scenic lifts that are space-efficient while delivering a refined, high-quality user experience. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure the lift integrates seamlessly into the building and performs reliably over time.
While the visual impact of a luxury glass lift is often a key consideration, we place equal emphasis on ease of use, comfort, and everyday practicality. From initial planning and design through to installation and ongoing aftercare, our expert team ensures your bespoke glass lift not only looks exceptional, but also operates smoothly and effortlessly on a day-to-day basis.
Features Of Our Glass Lifts
Our glass and scenic lifts are designed to deliver striking architectural impact alongside dependable, everyday performance. Each lift is carefully specified to enhance light, space, and transparency while integrating seamlessly into its surroundings.
Our range includes the APL6 Prestige Platform Lift, an elegant open-style glass lift ideal for low-rise applications where minimal visual intrusion and refined design are key. For more demanding applications, we offer the APL2 Heavy Duty Cabin Lift, which can be specified with an increased load capacity to accommodate heavy glass finishes, frameless glass structures, and glazed cladding systems—all while maintaining minimal pit and headroom requirements.
Both lift solutions can incorporate full or partial glazed panels, providing panoramic views and maximising natural light. A wide choice of glass types, tints, finishes, and structural configurations allows each lift to be tailored to suit contemporary, heritage, or high-end residential and commercial environments.
Benefits Of Our Glass Lifts
Our glass lifts enhance a building in ways that go far beyond appearance. By introducing transparency and light, they help spaces feel more open, connected, and visually spacious, making them particularly effective in luxury homes and high-end commercial environments.
Glass lifts also allow for greater architectural freedom, enabling accessibility to be introduced without dominating the space. Their discreet presence makes them well suited to design-led projects, heritage settings, and contemporary interiors where preserving the visual integrity of the building is essential.
From a practical perspective, our glass lifts provide comfortable, intuitive travel between floors, supporting inclusive access while maintaining a premium user experience. Designed for long-term reliability, they offer a durable, low-maintenance solution that adds lasting value to a property and supports future accessibility needs without compromise.

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 varies depending on the type of lift, but it can be anywhere between a few days up to a few weeks. 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.
