If your lift is taking too long to make its way between floors, then this tends to be a sign of the age and overall use of the machine.

· If your lift is being installed in a new, modern office or another more refined environment, it is important that it ties in with the overall design and decor of the building.

· However, bear in mind that as much as scenic, glass lifts look attractive, the more complicated the lift design, the more complicated it will be to maintain. Scenic lifts generally work best in low rise building or in collaboration with standard passenger lifts and escalators.
