Remodeling an elevator cab interior is one of the smartest ways to refresh any building. We see elevators being used by nearly everyone who enters a commercial space or high-end apartment complex. That’s why they play such a critical role in the building’s first impression. Tenants, guests, and visitors all see the elevator right away!
With a successful remodel, you can balance design and durability with the project budget. It’s all about having a clear process. At FabACab, we’ve refined things to deliver twice the design in half the time. You get an elevator cab remodel that’s simple, fast, and more streamlined from start to finish.
Step 1: Consider Your Building’s Image
Every successful remodel kicks off with a clear design direction. This doesn’t need to be overwhelming. It’s mostly about considering how your elevator works with the overall look and feel of the building. Is your space modern and minimal? Or is it a bolder vibe? Maybe the building is just sticking to a design sense that’s warm and welcoming! Either way, the elevator should feel like a natural extension of your lobby or other common areas. You want to be clear on what the major themes are upfront so you can head in the right direction for your design.
At FabACab, we help clients think beyond the individual panels and color choices so the final design will align with the brand’s whole image. It doesn’t matter whether you’re refreshing a residential building, upgrading a commercial property, or modernizing a mixed-use space—you need a design scope that’s cohesive and intentional.
Step 2: Review the Material Options
Material selection is where form meets function. Keeping the brand image in mind, it’s time to weigh your options for the types of materials you’ll be using.
Elevator cabs are known for getting some wear and tear over time, so you’ll want finishes that are durable, as well as attractive. That’s what we’re known for. You need a partner who understands all aspects of a successful elevator remodel. Our background in metal fabrication means we’re able to guide clients toward materials that can stand up to daily use without compromising on that visual appeal. Metal finishes give you a sleek, modern look and are great for high-traffic environments.
Of course, you also have the option of high-quality laminates. We can walk you through those choices. Laminates still have excellent durability, plus a wide range of color options. When we take the time to consider how the elevator will be used, we can strike the right balance for the overall look and budget.
Step 3: Measure Your Elevator Cab for an Accurate Quote
A smooth remodeling process needs detailed measurements to make sure everything will get wrapped up without any hiccups. With the right guidance, taking those measurements doesn’t have to slow you down. At FabACab, we’re different because we make measuring your elevator cab straightforward and stress-free. With our clear instructions and support, it’s easy to record the right dimensions. That way, you’ll get a precise quote to review.
Step 4: Finalize the Design with Custom Options
Once measurements are complete, our in-house design team can work alongside you to bring your vision to life. We’re proud to have an extensive library of materials, finishes, and past designs to make it easy for clients to hone in on their ideal setup. We can even work with you on unique, custom options to make your elevator really stand out.
Sometimes our clients are collaborating with architects and designers who are already on the project. That’s fine too! We’re always able to collaborate. Together, we can narrow down the design choices and finalize the layout so everything is specific to your space.
Step 5: Install Faster with Streamlined Packaging and Instructions
The final step is where FabACab truly stands above the rest. We’ve figured out how to package and label our panels for easy unboxing and efficient installation.
