As more Malaysians buy multi-storey residential homes like G+2 duplexes or G+4 estates, many want their home to feel comfortable and accessible, as well as luxurious and sophisticated.
Home Lifts, as opposed to stairs between floors, are used increasingly not only to make life easier for all family members, but also to provide family members with the safest and most comfortable method of moving between different levels of their home.
The type of home lift you choose for G+2, G+3 or G+4 depends on how your family lives, who uses the lift, and how safe and elegant the lift needs to be for family members to use comfortably.
This article will help you find practical reasons to help you select a home lift based on your G+2, G+3 or G+4 height and lifestyle needs.
The Need for a Home Lift in the Modern Malaysian Multi-Storey Home
Installing a home lift in a multi-storey home is not just about upgrading the style of your home; it provides a number of advantages for homeowners, including:
- Effortless Movement
- Improved Access for kids and Senior Family Members
- Increased Property Value
- Comfortable, Safe Use for All Family Members Daily
Elite Elevators Malaysia has home lift options that can be used in an existing or new multi-storey home and include both compact hydraulic lifts and sophisticated gearless designs.
G+2 Homes
G+2 means a house that has 3 levels (Ground Floor plus 2 additional levels). A lift for this type of house will typically go from the Ground Floor through to the 2nd Floor level. This is a moderate lift height that generally does not need an extremely large or complicated lift to operate effectively as compared to other higher lifts.
Best Choices for G+2 Home Lifts
- Compact Hydraulic Home Elevators
- The Compact Hydraulic Lift (E200 Series) is a compact lift that is well suited to G+2 homes. The reason for this is
- Simple Hydraulic Drive and Space Efficient
- No Machine Room Required (No Pit Depth).
- Will Fit in Smaller/Medium designs.
- Quiet/Smooth Operation.
These types of home lifts allow the homeowner to accommodate an accessible solution quickly and easily in the event that the homeowner’s primary concern is to have a comfortable and practical alternative to stairs versus the highest quality architectural design available.
G+3 Homes
G+3 (ground floor plus three upper levels) homes generally have greater floor height than G+2 homes and thus require a more accommodating lift.
The more the homeowner has been exposed to the use of lifts over time, the more likely they will look for:
- Increased Ride Comfort.
- Reduced Noise.
- More Advanced Control Systems.
- Enhanced Designs that coordinate with home interiors.
Premium Hydraulic or Cogbelt Lifts
- Premium hydraulic/cogbelt lifts like the E300 lifts are designed to offer:
- Ultra Smooth Motion with Minimal Vibration.
- Quiet Operation, which is particularly advantageous for a family or seniors that travel frequently.
Safety, Reliability, and Daily Use Performance; these lifts can provide a reliable lift solution for everyday living for families and seniors.
Lifting Lifespan of the Home – G+4 Homes
Daily life hinges on the convenience of a G+4 lift. Lift systems are some of the most frequently used parts of a home, and G+4 homes are well served by lifts.
So if you want your lift to offer high performance, maximum safety features, high-speed smooth vertical motion, and be designed to fit seamlessly into the architecture, you will need:
Gearless Home Lifts (e.g., X400 Series)
Bring the professional performance of gearless technology to your home:
- Increase travel speed
- Enjoy smooth vibration-free operation
- Reduce energy consumption with belt-driven systems
- Choose from glass or panoramic cabins to complement your décor
- Ride in comfort using the various modes of operation available to you
As Your Home Expands Vertically from G+2 to G+4
As your home expands vertically from G+2 to G+4 the following changes will be experienced:
- The frequency with which you use your lift will increase, and the lift will become an essential part of your daily routine
- Comfort will be a higher priority, as you will want the lift to travel more smoothly
- Design and aesthetics will be a consideration; you will want your lift to blend nicely with the existing architecture of the home.
Whereas a simple hydraulic lift may be an acceptable option for G+2 homes, G+4 homes are likely to require either a premium gearless lift or a combination of gearless and smart design features.
Safety Always Comes First
The safety features of your home lift are paramount regardless of whether your home is a G+2 or G+4 lift. The lift you purchase should include the following safety precautions:
- Emergency braking systems
- Door-locking devices
- Smooth start and stop operation
- Quiet, safe operation
The Elite Elevators product line meets or exceeds EU safety standards with smooth, dependable operation via frequent residential use.
Maintenance and Long-Term Costs
Elite Elevators are engineered to operate quietly, use little energy, and require minimal service; therefore long-term maintenance and energy costs will remain low, especially in multi-storey homes where lifts are used daily.
Why Choose Elite Elevators in Malaysia?
Elite Elevators offers a wide variety of home lifts, from standard hydraulic lifts to premium gearless home lifts that are designed for safety, aesthetics, and user-friendly operation.
Whether you prefer a compact hydraulic lift for a G+2 home, a smooth cogbelt lift for G+3 living, or a state-of-the-art gearless home lift for G+4 daily operation, Elite has a lift that is engineered to be compatible with the latest design concepts in Malaysian homes.
The decision to purchase a lift for your home should be based on your lifestyle and how you intend to live in and grow your home.
