The LUMA is a shaftless home elevator that travels between two floors through a single opening in the floor. It needs no hoistway, pit or separate machine room, so it fits into an existing home with far less construction than a traditional elevator.
Its compact footprint lets it go almost anywhere in the house, from a living room corner to a closet, and its enclosed cab gives you a safe, comfortable ride between levels. For New York homeowners who want to stay in the home they love without relying on the stairs, the LUMA is a practical and attractive alternative to a full-size elevator.
Nationwide Lifts of New York installs and services the LUMA around Albany, Glens Falls, Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley. Request a quote or call us to schedule a free consultation.
Homeowners often choose the LUMA when they want an elevator without rebuilding part of the house. It needs a single cut-out in the floor, so it works well wherever an upstairs room lies directly over a downstairs one.
It appeals to people planning to remain in their home for years to come, to those finding the staircase harder each year, and to families who would prefer a lift everyone can use over a stair lift.
Homes with three levels, or riders who need a bigger cab, are usually better matched with another of our residential elevators. A free home visit will make clear which one suits you.
A stair lift is the lower-cost route if the rider can sit and transfer. For three floors or a bigger cab, look at our full range of home elevators, including glass home elevators and pneumatic models.
Anywhere two rooms sit one above the other. The corner of a living room, a hallway and a closet are all common choices.
Yes. When the cab is on the lower level, a cover closes the opening so the upper floor is safe to walk across.
It depends on the model and the cab size. Ask us about the LUMA options if a wheelchair needs to travel in the elevator.
Once the floor opening is prepared, a shaftless elevator is typically installed in a few days, far quicker than a traditional elevator.
