1. Introduction
Pursuant to the presentation of our new Domovil model, the electric traction Domovil-e, we would now like to address the most frequently questions arising among our customers regarding the installation of a Domovil lift in their home, be it the new electric model or the traditional hydraulic Domovil.
If you´re thinking about improving the accessibility of your single-family home by installing a lift system, then you´ve come to the right place. We will explain all the important details you need to know and clarify your doubts regarding the installation of a Domovil lift in your home:
2. What do I need to install a Domovil?
The first step is to find the right place for the Domovil in your home. Our General Elevadores team will visit you with no commitments to provide you with personalised advice on the ideal location, the type of Domovil you need and the design options available. We are here to ensure the process is both easy and satisfying.
3. Which Domovil should I choose: hydraulic or electric?
We offer two types of traction system: hydraulic and electric, so you can choose the one best suited to your needs. Our team of advisors will provide you with clear, comprehensive information on each type of Domovil, thereby enabling you to make an informed decision on what your home lift is to be used for.
4. Is Domovil safe?
Both the hydraulic and electric Domovil models are equipped with cutting-edge technology to guarantee your protection and comfort. Both lifts feature photoelectric barriers to prevent the accidental closure of the doors while you are entering or leaving, emergency batteries for power outages and a telephone in the cabin for emergency calls. If you require any further information aside from the three previous points, we will clarify your doubts regarding the installation of a Domovil lift in your home with four other frequently asked questions.
5. Does it consume a lot of electricity?
The Domovil is an efficient and eco-friendly option. It consumes very little electricity. In addition, the electric model allows you to regulate the power in order to control consumption. In normal use, the electricity consumed by the hydraulic model is similar to that of a hair dryer, and that of the electric model is comparable to that of a blender. A responsible choice designed to help take care of the planet and your finances!
6. What measurements are required for a wheelchair?
To ensure appropriate accessibility, we recommend a Domovil cabin of at least 1000 mm x 1250 mm and doors with a clear passage of 800 mm. The free shaft space required for installation is 1400 mm x 1500 mm. This will guarantee that your Domovil is comfortable and safe for wheelchair users.
7. Should I keep pressing the button during the entire ride?
Our Domovil models are available with automatic interior cabin doors, meaning they operate automatically just like conventional lifts. Optionally, if you prefer, they can also be installed with no doors in the cabin, whereby the user will need to keep pressing the button.
8. Can I install the lift in the middle of a room or against the facade of a building?
One of the most notable aspects of our Domovil models is that they are made to measure, which enables us to install them in a multitude of spaces, regardless of their size or layout.
We are committed to ensuring that the installation of our Domovil lifts is a trouble-free experience for our customers. When you get in touch with us, our team of advisors will visit your home with no commitments to evaluate the space available and to provide you with personalised guidance.
These seven FAQs will have clarified your doubts regarding the installation of a Domovil lift in your home. We hope this has been useful to you.
