Balancing Aesthetics with Functionality

It can be challenging for housing associations to incorporate functional elements, like platform lifts, into existing buildings – especially when dealing with older properties or those with heritage considerations. Traditional lifts can be bulky, visually disruptive, and clash with the architectural style, leading to concerns that they may detract from the building’s character or reduce its aesthetic appeal.

In many cases, residents or property managers worry that installing a lift will compromise the design integrity of the property, especially in homes with period details or distinctive interiors. But we can solve these challenges by offering sleek, customisable lifts that blend seamlessly into a variety of environments.

The Interior Design Benefits of a Gartec Home Lift

Our home lifts are designed to improve accessibility first and foremost, but with complementary and customisable designs to also support aesthetic endeavours. When you choose a Gartec home lift, you can expect:

Customisable Finishes and Materials

Whether the property features a modern interior, traditional decor, or a heritage design, our home lifts can be tailored to match. Options such as glass panels, brushed steel, wood finishes, and various RAL colours allow housing associations to select a look that complements the existing architecture and interior style.

Clean, Minimalist Design

Models like the Vimec E20 feature sleek, minimalist designs that are both visually unobtrusive and elegant. With its sophisticated look, this model, along with many others, can become a subtle yet stylish addition to any home.

Compact and Flexible Installation

Our home lifts are engineered to take up minimal space, making them ideal for properties where floor space is limited. The compact design of models like the Aritco HomeLift Compact ensures that they can be installed without requiring extensive structural changes or compromising the layout of the home. This installation flexibility allows for efficient installation in both new builds and retrofit projects.

Real-World Benefits for Housing Associations

Choosing aesthetically designed lifts offers several practical benefits for housing associations, going far beyond simple functionality.

Increased Property Value

A platform lift that seamlessly integrates into the design of a building can boost its overall aesthetic and usability, making the property more desirable – both as a mobility aid and a luxury feature.

Resident Satisfaction

Stylish, well-integrated lifts can significantly improve the living experience for residents, particularly in multi-storey buildings. Residents appreciate the balance of functionality and design, and a visually appealing lift becomes a valued feature rather than an eyesore.

Retrofitting Without Compromising Style

Our home lifts are designed to be installed in both new builds and existing properties without disrupting the architectural integrity of the building. This makes retrofitting lifts into older properties, including heritage buildings, much easier.

What Sets Gartec Home Lifts Apart

We have stood at the forefront of creating stylish, customisable lift solutions for over 30 years. Our home lifts are designed to offer smooth and reliable performance alongside modernised design elements. 

We have worked hard to build a reputation for excellence in lift design and installation. Our commitment to high standards and client satisfaction ensures that housing associations receive lifts that meet accessibility requirements and ensure the quality of their buildings.

We had a limited budget and Gartec worked out the very best option and price for us, they ensured we got the correct people involved regarding the design of the hole for the lift to travel through, and we duly placed the order. We had some misgivings about what we ordered as we were concerned about how it would look when it was installed and how obtrusive it would be, indeed we decided to amend the order so the lift had glass sides and wow! How glad we are that we did. The communication was first class all through and the aftercare has been very good.

I examined the market for a suitable lift for our premises, and Gartec had a lift that would fit into our small bar area and would not be too obtrusive, hence making contact and requesting someone visit to look at the site and advise on the best option for us, we are a grade 2 listed building and were having problems getting the planning permission for the lift to be installed where it would serve us best, Gartec made contact and arranged to visit us. Gartec was very professional and most helpful, and much more interested in getting it right for us than any of the other suppliers.

The cricket club is currently being used as a COVID vaccination centre and the lift is essential for those of limited mobility. Hence it was important to get the work done as soon as possible and on a day when the centre wasn’t in use.  We’re very grateful for the swift response from Gartec, the service engineer was also very competent and helpful.

“We turned to Gartec, and their innovative moving floor design. It was an attractive and successful option taking only 6 days to fit. The safety features include a remote lock and a Smart app operation from an iPhone, so parents can ensure no trapped fingers  or ‘junior joyriding’ – perfect for a family house. We have been impressed with both the product and professional installation, and would certainly consider Gartec again for another Octagon home.”

Anton Dummer, Octagon Developments

“Both our Architect and Building Manager found Gartec Home professional, organised and proactive, and the installation process went smoothly. All the people my husband and I have dealt with have been helpful, and any queries dealt with quickly. The end result is totally integral to the build and reflects the modern architectural style.”

Hazel Coomber, Brentwood

“I would like to say that everyone at Gartec has been very helpful. The lift is my lifeline and enables me to live here.”

Barbara, Stourbridge

“The Gartec Home team were friendly and knowledgeable, they kept me informed and even tidied everything up at the end!”

Mary Jones, Abingdon

“Gartec offered a quick turnaround using a high-quality lift solution. It was important to have lifts that would complement the design and quality of the rest of the houses. The Gartec lifts offered this and only required a short installation period carried out by two friendly engineers. I am pleased with the overall look of the lifts installed and they will contribute to the townhouses being desirable to a bigger market. We look forward to working together again.”
