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 residential 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 Central 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 Central New York installs and services the LUMA across Syracuse, Rochester, Utica and Binghamton. Request a quote or call us to schedule a free consultation.
The LUMA suits two-story homes where a traditional elevator would mean too much construction. Because it needs only one opening in the floor, it can often be fitted where one room sits above another, such as a living room below a bedroom.
It is a good choice if you want to stay in your home for the long term, if the stairs are becoming difficult, or if you want an alternative to a stair lift that the whole household can use.
A stair lift costs less and uses your existing staircase, but it carries one seated rider. If you need to reach three floors, or you need a larger cab for a wheelchair, one of our other home elevators may be a better fit. We will tell you which suits your home during a free visit.
