−	Another important consideration is the space that is available. Home lifts are often added to an existing house, so these lifts must be worked into an existing structure and space. This is can be challenging, particularly in regard to pits. The advancement in technology has meant that low pit lifts are now possible, requiring less space than previously. The available space can also have an impact on the way the lift doors function, as some open outwards, requiring extra space, whereas other can slide away which can be a preferable choice in a home with limited space.	+	Another important consideration is the space that is available.

Lifts have made our lives easier in a variety of settings. They allow us to travel to the top of the [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Tallest_buildings_in_the_world world’s tallest buildings] and to transport goods between the floors of hotels. Without lifts, many people, both with mobility issues and without, would struggle to navigate tall buildings.

While they may be common in skyscrapers, lifts can also be used in the home, and may be chosen by homeowners for a range of reasons.

= Considerations =

When installing a home lift, it is often necessary to consider the stylistic impact that the lift will have on its surroundings. Modern lifts can be stylish and excellently designed, and aesthetic appeal is an important selection factor for many homeowners who are considering an installation.

Another important consideration is the space that is available. Home lifts are often added to an existing house, so these lifts must be worked into an existing structure and space. This is can be challenging, particularly in regard to pits. The advancement in technology has meant that low pit lifts are now possible, requiring less space than previously. The available space can also have an impact on the way the lift doors function, as some open outwards, requiring extra space, whereas other can slide away which can be a preferable choice in a home with limited space.

It is also vital to consider the reason for the installation of the lift. Some home lifts are installed solely for the use of those with mobility issues, so they may only need space for one passenger at a time. However, other home lifts may need to be designed for the use of multiple people at one time.

= Types of Home Lifts =

There are a number of different types of home lifts which can be selected for a variety of reasons and applications. These include:

Disabled Access Lifts

Disabled access lifts are designed to make life easier for those with mobility issues by helping them to move around the home. These could be in the form of a platform lift or step lift and can vary greatly in size and style.

Passenger Lifts

Passenger lifts can be particularly useful in a home with multiple storeys, and can also help those with mobility issues. Just like disabled access lifts, home lifts are available in a huge range of sizes and styles and can be incorporated into the existing building.

= Reasons for Home Lifts =

There are a number of reasons why any type of home lift may be chosen. These include:

* Providing an attractive and more luxurious alternative to a traditional stair lift.
* Providing disabled access in a home that would otherwise be inaccessible for those in wheelchairs.
* Providing access to a home that may be in an unusual setting and requires the homeowner to ascend or descend to enter the home.
* Providing a way of moving around the home with ease – this may be particularly useful for those who have reduced mobility, such as the elderly.
* Offering an increase in the value of the property – this may not be the sole reason for the installation of a home lift, but it can often be an important factor that persuades homeowners.
