5 Durable Finish Options for Elevator Modernization

Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Right after the lobby area, elevators are the next space your building’s guests and residents will see. If you think about it, people ride in your elevators hundreds of times a day. If they’re dual purpose – people and deliveries – then the risk of wall damage goes up … maybe way up. Chances are your elevators are showing real signs of wear and tear and might be giving folks a less-than pleasant ride.

Without requiring any work to the mechanical and structural “bones” of your elevator unit, you can renovate the interiors of your cabs. But are you wondering where do you start? We are here to help you decide what finishes and materials are right for your elevator cabs.

1. Palladium® Rigid Sheet Wall Protection

Palladium Rigid Vinyl is our best-selling material and ensures your elevators are safeguarded with superior impact resistance. Because Palladium is so durable, you don’t have to worry about peeling or dents from heavy traffic and moving carts. Palladium is available in Solid Colors, Elements Patterns, and Faux-Wood Patterns, so you are sure to find a style that fits your facility. View all finishes here.

Palladium Rigid Sheet Wall Protection stands up to today’s toughest disinfectants. Watch the testing process here.

2. Stainless Steel

Tried and true, Stainless Steel provides unmatched protection that won’t chip, bend or crack. Because Stainless Steel won’t rust, it will stay looking shiny and new for years to come. We offer a variety of textured stainless steel options so that you can choose from a traditional smooth look or a pattered, high-end design.

3. Ricochet® Flexible Wall Protection 

Ricochet combines the look and feel of premium wallcovering with the durability of rigid wall protection, so your elevator panels can make an impact and take an impact. Ricochet is also chemical resistant and can withstand regular exposure to harsh, commonly used disinfectants.

4. Aspex® Printed Wall Protection

Aspex® Printed Wall Protection gives you design freedom while protecting your walls from the toughest damage. Made with our high-impact PETG wall protection material, your graphic is back-printed onto clear sheet, so that the image is vivid and won’t get scratched over time.

5. Custom

Your cab, your way. Not all elevator cabs endure the same levels of abuse. That’s why you can customize your cab to fit unique needs. Combine multiple materials so that your cab will suit your facility. One example of this is using stainless steel lower panels to take the brunt of where most abuse happens and our Palladium® Rigid Sheet Wall Protection top panels to the rest of your facility.
