Instead of lining lift walls with traditional materials such as stainless steel, today’s lifts come in many forms and keep evolving to match what buyers really want. At Cibes Lift, we use tempered laminated glass — in other words, multi-layer glass created by laminating tempered panes together with PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) or EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) for extra strength. The result is 4-5 times stronger than ordinary glass, also known as float glass.
Tempered laminated glass is most often used for stair balustrades, shower screens and similar applications. It performs in sub-zero temperatures and stands up to strong winds and storms, which is why it is common across Europe. If it cracks or breaks, no shards fly out: the fragments stay bonded in place rather than falling, and the glass breaks into corn-kernel-like pieces instead. That makes it far less dangerous, and altogether superior and more durable.
A glass lift built with this kind of safety glass brings a modern, luxurious look, excellent sound insulation and UV protection, and it opens up a multi-dimensional, eye-catching space around your home lift. The glass can even be tinted for extra character. Here is a closer look at what glass lifts offer and why they stand out.
1. Features of a Glass Lift with Tempered Laminated Safety Glass
- There are two main types of glass lift: outdoor and indoor. Each type is further defined by the number of glass faces — 1-sided, 2-sided, 3-sided or fully glazed all round
- Projects best suited to installing and using a glass lift include buildings that want to draw in natural light, or where the lift sits in the middle of the staircase
- Projects with a design brief calling for something distinctive and contemporary
- Where the interior structure is an architectural feature in itself, glass doors reinforce the building’s style — and for users with claustrophobia in particular, glass stairwell doors are worth adding too, so the lift feels open and airy
- A safety-glass lift adds to the beauty of a home, because it makes the space look larger
2. Benefits of a Tempered Laminated Safety Glass Lift
Cibes glass lifts work beautifully for both interior and exterior design, in homes and buildings alike, thanks to the following qualities:
- Extremely durable, even under a high-force impact — comparable to automotive glass
- On impact, a tempered laminated safety glass lift breaks into corn-kernel-like pieces that are blunt and not dangerous
- A safety-glass lift has a beautiful design that impresses users at first sight
- Glass lifts are easy to design in a modern style and blend in with many types of project and architecture
- Clear glass gives users an unobstructed view and a beautiful outlook, both inside and outside the lift
- Because it is a glass lift, anyone inside can see out if something goes wrong, which helps avoid panic, while people outside can easily check on the situation inside. A glass lift is also ideal for anyone with claustrophobia
