What is a Scenic Lift?
Nothing captures architectural elegance quite like a luxury glass lift, also known as a scenic lift. With full or partial transparency, these installations enhance natural light and provide breathtaking views, creating a truly memorable travel experience within your home or commercial property.
Scenic lifts use high-strength, safety-tested glass combined with precision metalwork to deliver both beauty and durability. They’re particularly popular in properties where design and outlook are central, think skyrise landmarks, penthouse apartments, boutique hotels where an elevator is the focal point, or showpiece headquarters.
Beyond their dramatic aesthetics, VM Elevators’ luxury glass lifts offer smart technology, including energy-saving drives, automated lighting, and quiet operation. Each scenic lift we install is tailored to its environment, and we handle both new builds and retrofits with the same commitment to quality and innovation.
Whether your aim is to impress, maximise natural light, or increase property value, a glass lift from VM Elevators is a striking investment in both form and function.
Imagine stepping into a lift and watching the skyline unfold as you rise. A scenic lift or luxury glass elevator delivers that experience, transforming the simple act of vertical travel into a statement of luxury and vision.
At VM Elevators, we specialise in designing, supplying and installing scenic lifts for both residential and commercial properties. Our bespoke glass lifts are engineered for visual impact and long-term performance.
Key Features of Luxury Glass Elevators

Design Options To Match Your Space
