Product Overview

Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation

Tenau Elevator

The panoramic glass elevator is synonymous with the glass lift, serving as a prestige vertical transport solution in hotels, corporate headquarters, and upscale residential developments. Its primary function extends beyond simple transportation to contribute actively to the building's overall atmosphere and design narrative. Key structural components—such as guide rails and suspension systems—are deliberately exposed or meticulously finished to complement the high-end aesthetic.

These elevators are a preferred choice for locations offering a spectacular external view (e.g., seaside resorts, city high-rises) or when showcasing a beautiful internal atrium or architectural element. The design is engineered for smooth, vibration-free operation to enhance the rider experience. Advanced technology is often utilized, including hydraulic systems with clean fluid containment or gearless traction for ultra-quiet operation, ensuring that the technology does not detract from the visual journey. All glass panels adhere to stringent safety codes, often requiring multiple layers of laminated safety glass.

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator

Comprehensive assessment, wise choice

Technical Factors

  • Temperature Regulation: Implementing active or passive cooling systems within the car to counteract the "greenhouse effect" from solar gain through the large glass panels.
  • Load Distribution: Ensuring the floor structure around the glass shaft can handle the concentrated point loads from the exposed guide rail anchor brackets.
  • Maintenance Visibility: Specifying hidden access points and clean lines for maintenance to ensure the repair process does not detract from the visual experience.

Usage Factors

  • High-Resolution CCTV: Installing discreet, high-resolution cameras in the car for security, which can be viewed without hindering the aesthetic.
  • Insurance Premiums: Factoring in potentially higher insurance costs due to the use of specialized, expensive, large-format glass panels.
  • Glass Type Certification: Verifying that all glass components meet the highest standards for lamination, tempering, and shatter resistance for public safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions you may be interested in

How is the structural integrity maintained with glass walls?

Structural integrity is maintained by using a robust, often minimal, steel framework for the car and hoistway, with the laminated safety glass acting as infill and containment, not the primary load-bearing element.

What prevents the car from getting too hot in the sun?

The glass can be treated with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings to reflect solar heat. Additionally, the car can feature internal climate control with dedicated, concealed air conditioning or enhanced ventilation.

Are the glass walls load-bearing?

No, the glass walls in the car and shaft are considered non-load-bearing enclosures. The lift's weight and forces are carried by the steel structure, ropes, and guide rails.
