Each interior is custom designed to fit the elevator it is being installed in, based on the provided survey. The complete interior can be installed by two qualified elevator personnel in one day. Below is a specification on each component of the interior. All finished materials supplied in these packages have been designed to meet the ASME A17.1 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators code requirement for flame spread & smoke density.

Wall Panels

All panels utilize z-clips to fasten to cab shell walls. These clips allow for each panel to be removed at later time if damaged or new panel is desired. Included in package is a template story-pole for placement of mating z-clips on cab shell wall.

- Plastic Laminate
All plastic laminate is Wilsonart® brand standard grade matte finish plastic laminate. Panels consists of a particleboard core faced with desired laminate selection, balanced with a 0.20 mil brown backer and edge-banded with black PVC edge banding. Overall panel thickness is ¾”.

-Textured Stainless Steel
All textured stainless steel is Rigidized® brand and is formed from 18 gauge satin finish stainless steel. Each panel consists of a particleboard core faced with desired textured stainless, and balanced with a 0.20 mil brown backer. Textured metal is formed in a pan shape to wrap all edges of the panel. Overall panel thickness is ¾”.

- Wood Veneer
All wood veneer is A-Grade Plain Sliced veneer book matched and balanced. Grain between panels will be similar and sequenced as close as possible. Panels utilize a Duraflake® fire-rated particleboard core. Panel edges will contain a molding matching the panel face on the Seven (7) & Fourteen (14) series panels. Molding will wrap the edge of the panel and overlap onto the face. Nine (9) series panels are edge-banded with matching veneer edge banding. All molding & veneer will be finished with high performance spray & wipe stain in the selected color and two coats of clear pre-catalyzed dull lacquer. Overall panel thickness is ¾”.

Reveals and Frieze

Reveals are the area between each panel and in the corners of the elevator, and the frieze is the area between the top of the panel and the canopy. Standard reveals and frieze consist of matte black plastic laminate affixed to 1/8” luan build up. This build-up creates a space behind panel to house the z-clip and allow the back of the panel to sit flush against the reveal face. Reveals and frieze are installed directly on cab shell surface by means of 3M™ VHB™ two-sided tape. Optional upgrades of satin (#4) or mirrored (#8) finish stainless steel, satin finish muntz, or contrasting plastic laminate are available.

-Seven (7) & Fourteen (14) Series Reveals:
Reveal width between panels is set at 1¼”, and corner reveals are ± 2”. The reveal between the top of the panel and the face of the ceiling is also 1¼”.

-Nine (9) Series Reveals:
Reveal width between panels is set at ¾”, and corner reveals are set at 5”. The reveal between the top of the panel and the face of the ceiling is also ¾”.

Base (Toe kick)

The base or toe kick is the wall finish located below the panel. Standard height is 6” and is made of 18 gauge satin (#4) stainless steel affixed to 1/8” luan build up. This build-up keeps the base flush with adjacent reveals. Sidewall base will have ¼” x 3” vertical slots punched into the face to allow for code compliant ventilation. These slots will be centered in the sidewall and vertically in the base height, unless otherwise indicated on the survey form. The base is installed directly on cab shell surface by means of 3M™ VHB™ two-sided tape. Optional upgrades of mirrored (#8) finish stainless steel, satin finish muntz or contrasting plastic laminate are available.

Handrails

There are two styles of handrails available, a 1½” diameter tubular or ¼” x 2” flat bar. The end of the rail can be either returned back towards the cab shell wall or be capped & polished. Handrail stand-offs are mounted directly through the cab shell wall using cap toggles and each contains a set screw on the bottom to allow for the rail to be installed and removed from inside the elevator in the case of damage or refinishing.

Ceilings

-Aluminum Frame Ceiling
The ceiling frame is constructed from 1” x 1” x 1/8” and the intermediate supports are 1” x 1” x 1/8” aluminum tee, all the corners & intermediate supports are welded and polished to conceal the seams. The entire frame is lacquered to resist fingerprints and provide a durable finish. The lay-in panels are Lexan™ Thermoclear polycarbonate fluted lenses. Each lense is removable to allow for access to escape hatch and light bulb replacement. The ceiling includes two (2) 48” side mount standard fluorescent fixtures and bulbs. The standard distance from the canopy to the face of the ceiling is 6”. Ceiling will have a minimum of six welded hangers for means of attaching frame to canopy.

- Halogen Downlight Ceiling
The face of the suspended ceiling will be divided into six individual panels made from 18 gauge satin (#4) finish stainless steel separated by ¼” black painted reveals. Alternative materials such as mirrored stainless steel, muntz, plastic laminate, and wood veneer are available. The ceiling edge is painted black. The ceiling core is ¾” Ultra-lite MDF, balanced with a 0.20 mil brown backer. Attached to the back of the ceiling is unistrut to provide hanger supports for suspending ceiling from canopy.
The escape hatch will be incorporated into the ceiling face as best as possible to conceal any seam lines. In the event that the lines cannot be concealed, hairline seams will be present.
The lights are low voltage halogen downlights. Each fixture contains a 20W safety coated bulb as required by code. Also included is a car top mounted dimmer control box to allow for adjustment of the lighting level.
The standard number of fixtures is six (6) and this is based on a 2000 to 3000 LB capacity elevator. Depending upon the elevator size and ceiling height, the actual number of fixtures may need to be increased. If this should occur, you will be notified upon placement of the order.
