Elevator Safety Features for Home Remodelers

The home elevator also has all the features of a home elevator as follows:

Automatic Rescue System (ARD)

The Automatic Rescue System (ARD) is an important safety feature in home elevators, especially useful in the event of a sudden power outage. ARD will automatically activate the backup power source, bring the cabin to the nearest floor and open the door for people inside to escape safely - especially children or the elderly. In addition, ARD also helps protect electronic components from damage due to power outages, contributing to prolonging the life of the elevator and reducing maintenance and repair costs.

Overspeed control device

The overspeed control device in the home elevator is a mandatory part of the modern home elevator. When the elevator exceeds the allowed speed or the cable breaks, the device will automatically activate, hold the cabin and prevent the cabin from falling freely, ensuring the safety of the user. In addition to emergency situations, this system also helps to control the elevator to operate stably, especially important for families with small children or the elderly.

Anti-jamming door with photocell sensor

Photocell sensors are an important safety feature of home elevators. Installed on both sides of the door, these sensors detect obstacles when the door is closing and automatically stop or reopen, helping to avoid jamming the door and protect users, especially children and pets. Thanks to that, all family members can use the elevator safely, without worrying about unexpected incidents. This is an almost mandatory feature in modern home elevator models.

Overload alarm device for cabin

The overload alarm device in the home elevator helps detect when the weight in the cabin exceeds the allowable limit. At this time, the system will sound an alarm and stop working until the load is reduced to a safe level. This feature not only protects the motor, cable and components, but also raises awareness of safe use, contributing to prolonging the life of the home elevator.

Door open control feature

The door-opening control feature in home elevators prevents the elevator from operating when the cabin door or floor door is not completely closed, ensuring absolute safety for users. The system is often combined with magnetic sensors to accurately control the door status. This feature eliminates the risk of accidents due to loosely closed doors and gives timely warnings, raising awareness of safe use for the whole family. In addition, Nidec Elevator elevators also integrate other safety features such as fire protection, door monitoring and self-rescue system (SRS) in case of an incident.

Frequently asked questions when renovating a house - installing an elevator

What is the minimum size of a House Renovation required to install an elevator?

Many homeowners worry about the limited renovation area, only about 0.85 m² (850 x 1000 mm) , not knowing whether it is possible to install an elevator. However, with the development of mini elevators and compact elevators, specifically designed for townhouses and renovated houses, this is completely possible.

With an area of ​​only 0.85 m², homeowners can still consider installing a home elevator specifically for renovated houses — the optimal solution for small spaces, meeting the movement needs of 2-3 people at the same time.

Should we renovate the house to install an elevator in the middle of the stairwell?

Many Vietnamese families choose to renovate their homes and install home elevators in the stairwell to maximize available space, ensure aesthetics and bring convenience in moving between floors.

Installing an elevator in this location requires careful survey of the building structure, especially the distance between the stairs and the mezzanine space. Glass elevators or compact elevators are often preferred because of their ability to take advantage of natural light, making the space more airy, modern and luxurious.

In addition, solutions for foundation reinforcement and safety system installation also need to be carefully calculated to ensure the elevator operates stably, smoothly and durably over time.

To be able to install an elevator in the middle of a staircase, the project needs to meet the following basic technical requirements:

• Clear width between stairs: minimum 850mm
• Clear depth at ladder installation location: minimum 1000mm
• Top floor height: minimum 2600mm

Should the skylight be renovated to install an elevator?

Renovating skylights is a popular architectural highlight in modern townhouses, providing natural light and effective air circulation. Many families wonder whether it is possible to take advantage of this space when renovating to install a home elevator. The answer is absolutely possible, if you choose the right type of elevator that is suitable for the size and structure of the skylight.

With openings ranging from 1m² to 1.5m² , compact glass elevator models are the ideal solution. Not only do they save space, these designs also contribute to enhancing aesthetics, bringing modernity and luxury to the house.

Installing an elevator in a skylight location brings many benefits: maximizing natural light, creating a feeling of open, airy space, while ensuring safety thanks to the reinforced glass frame system combined with modern elevator technology. This is a particularly suitable choice for families with the elderly or young children.

However, to implement the renovation of the skylight to install in this area, it is necessary to conduct a detailed survey, develop a specific technical plan, and may need preliminary renovation to turn the current skylight into an elevator shaft that meets technical standards.

For advice on the most optimal solution in terms of cost, design and quality, please contact Hoang Sa Viet Nidec Sankyo Elevator - the leading supplier of mini elevators today.

Should the balcony be renovated to install an elevator ?

Renovating the front balcony of the house is an ideal location to install a home elevator , especially for houses with limited internal usable area. Taking advantage of this area not only helps to optimize space but also expands utilities, effectively increasing the value of the house.

Installing an elevator on the balcony not only contributes to creating a unique architectural highlight, but also helps save floor space in the house. Glass elevator models or specialized outdoor elevators are often chosen, thanks to their special design with the ability to be waterproof, withstand harsh weather conditions such as sun and rain, while still ensuring absolute safety during use.

This solution is especially suitable for modern townhouses or villas, aiming for a luxurious and comfortable living space. The elevator installed outside the balcony ensures aesthetics and does not affect the internal structure of the building, bringing convenience in movement for all family members, including the elderly and children.

To install an elevator on the balcony (outdoor elevator), a detailed solution is needed for balcony design, renovation, roof design, waterproofing, and water resistance to be used for a long time. The waterproofing measure is the most difficult. However, with a team of experienced experts from Nidec Sankyo Elevator, we will survey and propose the best solution to achieve efficiency and optimize costs...

Do I need permission to renovate my house and install an elevator ?

According to the provisions of the construction law, when renovating a house, you need to carry out the procedures to request permission for renovation and repair according to the regulations. However, for the installation of elevators in the house, especially in renovation projects, elevators are often installed in the space between the stairs - a position that does not change the construction area and does not affect neighboring constructions.

Therefore, in reality, many families do not carry out construction permit procedures when installing elevators in their homes. However, this depends on each specific locality and the regulations on construction order management in that place. Therefore, to ensure compliance with legal regulations and avoid risks, you should consult with local authorities or experienced construction units before proceeding with the installation.

How to Classify Home Elevator Lines

Classification of home elevators by technology

• Cable elevator
• Screw elevator
• Hydraulic elevator

Classify home elevators by door opening type

• Automatic sliding home elevator
• Home elevator with manual door
• Home elevator with automatic hinged door

Classification of imported and joint venture manufactured home elevators.

• Home elevators manufactured in Vietnam
• Joint venture home elevator manufactured in Vietnam.
• Imported home elevators

Classify home elevators by manufacturer

• Family elevator: Sanyo, Nidec Sankyo Elevator (popular joint venture line in Vietnam).
• Family elevators: Mitsubishi, Schindler, Kone, Nidec, Cibes, Hyundai Elevator... (mainly imported)

Each family elevator product line has its own characteristics, depending on the size of the elevator shaft, you can choose the appropriate family elevator type. They will affect the price and product selection criteria. To understand why the elevator lines have such a large price difference, Sankyo would like you to first learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each type. From there, you will have the best choice.

Cable elevator:

Cable traction elevators are one of the traditional elevator product lines, which have been around for a long time and are widely used in civil construction projects. This elevator line stands out with its simple and effective operating principle, using a motor to create traction force, which can be accompanied with or without a gearbox, depending on the type of elevator. Thanks to the development of mass production technology, cable traction elevators are relatively cheap, becoming a popular choice for families who want to install an elevator in their home while still ensuring economic efficiency.

With a fairly simple design and safe operating mechanism, cable elevators provide stability and reliability during use. However, an important requirement when installing this type of elevator is to have a large enough pit. To be able to install a cable elevator, the depth of the pit must be at least 30cm, helping to ensure the elevator operates effectively and safely. For this reason, cable elevators are often chosen for projects with large installation space and the ability to construct a standard pit. Despite the space requirement, cable elevators are still a popular solution thanks to their reasonable price and stable operation throughout the use process.

Screw home elevator:

Screw home elevators are one of the modern elevator lines, often imported from developed countries such as the US and European countries. This product has a fairly simple structure and operating mechanism, helping to reduce complex details compared to traditional elevator lines. Therefore, screw elevators can be installed in compact spaces, helping to save space for projects with limited space. One of the outstanding advantages of screw elevators is the simplicity in design, making maintenance, warranty and repair easier, saving time and costs for users.

However, screw elevators also have some disadvantages to note. First, the operating speed is slower than traditional cable elevators, which may not be suitable for projects that require quick movement between floors. Second, this product line has a limited height of use, only suitable for projects with a height of 2-3
