　　So-called villa elevators, compared to traditional passenger elevators, have certain production limitations and are limited to installation in private residences. Because villas are private spaces where elevator usage is infrequent, and owners tend to cherish and protect their property, villa elevators have become essential equipment in villas.

　　I. Installation Location:

　　1. If you are building your own villa, it is recommended to consult with an elevator manufacturer during the design phase, request elevator drawings, and pre-reserve the elevator shaft opening. This ensures a more standard elevator installation, allows for customized design, and results in higher satisfaction.

　　2. There are generally three scenarios when purchasing a villa: First, the villa has already been designed with a standard villa elevator shaft. Second, the villa has an elevator shaft, but it is not designed according to standard villa elevator shaft drawings, and the Size is smaller. Third, the villa does not have an elevator shaft. Based on these three scenarios, we consistently believe that either the shaft must be remodeled to meet the requirements of a standard villa elevator, or a suitable location outside the villa must be found to install a standard villa elevator. Never compromise by installing an unsuitable elevator in an unsuitable location.

　　II. Elevator Structure

　　1. Elevator structures are mainly divided into three types: traction machine drive, hydraulic drive, and screw drive.

　　2. The traction machine drive design can be considered a miniaturized design of a standard passenger elevator. The car has automatic doors, and each floor has automatic doors as well. After the elevator reaches the designated floor, the elevator car doors and floor doors open simultaneously for better safety.

　　3. The advantage of hydraulic drive is that it can be installed in shafts smaller than standard villa elevators; however, doors cannot be installed in the car, nor can automatic doors be used on each floor. This has many drawbacks. For example, without car doors, the building structure of the shaft is directly visible when the elevator is ascending or descending. Children riding the elevator may act mischievously and even perform dangerous actions near the shaft on each floor, leading to pinching or shearing injuries. Floor doors can only be designed as single doors like ordinary room doors, and even if automatic opening is possible, it cannot avoid real safety hazards. In recent years, a type of hydraulic lift that does not belong to villa elevators has entered many villas at an advantageous Price, falsely claiming to be a hydraulic elevator. As elevator professionals, I can only say here: absolutely do not buy. We can afford villas to improve our quality of life, and safe products are worth paying attention to; no one wants to rely on an elevator with known safety hazards for their own safety.

　　4. Screw drive has also become popular in recent years. As elevator professionals, I can only say that China is vast, the population is large, and there are diverse views on safety and cost savings. In other words, elevators are not everyday consumer goods, and people cannot understand the real situation through formal channels. They can only get information from illegal manufacturers, which leads them to be tempted by Price and ignore the product itself when purchasing villa elevators.

　　III. Elevator Shaft

　　1. Villa elevator shafts are generally divided into full-concrete shafts, brick-concrete shafts, steel structure shafts, sheet metal folded shafts, and aluminum alloy shafts.

　　2. Full-concrete shafts have good sound insulation, and elevator installation is convenient. Construction should follow the standard elevator drawing Sizes before construction.

　　3. Brick-concrete shafts are common elevator shafts, suitable for retrofitting and adding elevators. Construction should follow the standard elevator drawing Sizes.

　　4. Steel structure shafts are a choice for retrofitting elevators, easy to manufacture, and cost-effective. However, there is a drawback: When installed in a villa, a distance for enclosing tempered glass must be reserved. If it is embedded in the middle of the steel structure columns, the gap between the glass and the steel structure cannot be perfect.

　　5. Sheet metal folded shafts refer to shafts where the columns and beams are made of 3mm sheet metal folding. This saves a lot of shaft width, but the shortcomings of sheet metal joints cannot be covered by spraying or baking the sheet metal surface, and uneven gaps around the embedded glass affect the overall aesthetics.

　　6. Aluminum alloy shafts are a perfect shaft type for villa elevators. The material for aluminum alloy shafts is customized by the aluminum factory after the elevator manufacturer designs the profile Sizes. Several colors are available, and there are separate slots for installing tempered glass. The overall installation has almost no flaws. The Price is not cheap, but it is worth the value.
