Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
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.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Maximizes Natural Illumination
Allows ambient light to flood the lift car and the surrounding lobby area, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours.
Enhances Visitor Navigation
By providing a clear view of the floor layout, it helps users orient themselves within the building, particularly in complex or multi-level environments.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Vibration Control: Specialized polymer or rubber dampeners are used on the car frame to isolate the cabin from the guide rails, ensuring a silent and smooth ride.
- Integrated Emergency Phone: Features a hands-free emergency communication system that is discreetly integrated into the car's control panel.
- Dynamic Lighting: Can include intelligent LED systems that change color or intensity based on the floor or time of day, enhancing the visual spectacle.

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
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.
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.
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.
