| The How – and Why – of Elevator Renovation |
 In the U.S. and Canada, there are 1,000,000 elevators, and each elevator carries on average 20,000 people per year or a total of 20 BILLION passenger trips annually. According to the National Elevator Industry, Inc., the average rise of an elevator is 4 to 5 floors or 40 feet. Add up all those numbers, and that means elevators travel 1.36 BILLION miles per year. That's more than 2,700 trips to the moon and back.
As Indiana Jones said, “It's not the years, it's the mileage.” We would argue it's the mileage and the years.
Over time, elevator interiors can get damaged...especially if the cab is used for both passengers and freight. Even with the best padded intentions, freight and furniture movers and delivery drivers ding up, gouge and scuff walls with dollies, carts and crates.
Then there's the simple aesthetics – styles change and a cab's interior can start to look dated. Throw in damage and it's a one-two punch of ugly. Then add in flickering fluorescent bulbs and it's the trifecta of a not-so-pleasant ride.
In this white paper, learn how to take your elevators from dark, dingy and damaged to clean, stylish and well-lit.
