Product description

Dark-bronze decorative metal cladding forms fixed elevator door surrounds at the lift landing. The references show straight jamb covers and head details beside light-toned walls, with the cab visible through the opening. This page focuses on the stationary entrance finish, also described as lift architraves, rather than claiming the visible cabin as part of the supply.

Xinmao Metal develops the jamb depth, head profile, returns, joints and finish sample from the approved landing elevation. Mark the boundary between the existing lift frame, new decorative cladding and wall substrate. The lift contractor confirms door travel, required clearances, indicator access and maintenance interfaces before fabrication dimensions are released.

Send opening and installed-frame dimensions, finished wall depth, floor references, quantities and finish samples for a comparable quotation. Material grade, backing, fixings and installation responsibilities are agreed for the project. The decorative surround does not replace the structural frame, door operator or safety equipment.

Project Questions

When should lift architraves be measured?

Coordinate dimensions with the elevator supplier early, then verify the installed frame and finished wall conditions before releasing fabrication. Record floor and opening references.

Can decorative cladding cover the existing door frame?

It may be possible with an approved detail. Preserve door movement, required clearances, release points and maintenance access, and confirm the arrangement with the elevator contractor.

What information is needed to quote lift architraves?

Provide opening and frame dimensions, wall depth, floor count, quantities, jamb and head sections, finish samples, cut-outs and the agreed supply and installation scope.

Interior package scope

Cabin wall panels, doors, jambs, ceilings, skirting, trims and selected feature elements can be coordinated around approved elevator supplier information.

Information for review
  • Survey each landing independently for installed frame position, wall depth and finished floor; use the agreed datum to coordinate the heads of paired entrances.
  • Approve the jamb return and outer cover sections, including any split-piece arrangement and visible splice. Define support and fixing zones before metal fabrication.
  • Keep door operation, original frame access and maintenance interfaces clear; the visible cabin in the open-door reference is outside this fixed-surround package.
  • Coordinate wall-finishing and metal-fitting order to protect adjacent edges. Check head alignment, jamb straightness and the bronze sample match without forcing covers against an uneven backing. Further guidance: Architectural metal systems and project coordination

PRODUCT DETAILS

Elevator interior engineering details

Five coordinated areas used to develop the decorative cabin package around the approved elevator system.

All dimensions, loads, clearances and technical interfaces must be confirmed with the elevator supplier and responsible project parties.

Metal Yanda Ludaopei Hospital Repeated Curved Columns

Package elements

Cabin wall panels, feature walls, doors, jambs, ceilings, skirting, trims and selected handrail interfaces.

The exact scope is confirmed with the elevator contractor and project team.

Panel composition

Flat, folded, framed, patterned, mirror-accented or mixed-material decorative panels.

Panel arrangement responds to cabin proportions, control locations, maintenance access and design intent.

Design coordination

Matched or coordinated finishes with lobby doors, portals, wall panels and surrounding trims.

Finish direction should be reviewed across both cabin and landing interfaces.

Elevator interiors developed as a coordinated package

Elevator interiors combine close-range architectural finishes with strict cabin interfaces. Xinmao develops the decorative panels around the confirmed supplier information and the wider interior design language.

Dark Bronze Elevator Door Surrounds & Jamb Cladding

Straight Architraves Against Light Landing Walls

Dark-bronze head panels and jamb covers give these entrances a crisp rectangular outline beside the light wall finish. Xinmao Metal develops the stationary decorative cladding around the installed lift frame. The scope is the visible landing surround, not the moving doors or the cabin seen through the opening.

A Repeated Head Line for Paired Entrances

The paired arrangement uses a consistent upper line while the pale central wall separates the openings. Develop each portal from its own surveyed frame position, then coordinate the shared visual datum. Identical-looking openings should not be assumed to have identical site dimensions or return depths.

Jamb Returns Sized to the Actual Wall Depth

The width of the visible jamb and its return into the opening depend on the existing frame and finished wall build-up. Section details should distinguish the decorative cover from the original equipment frame. Agree the component divisions and perimeter joint before fabrication rather than relying on site trimming of finished metal.

Consider Split Covers Where the Interface Requires

A separate return and outer cover may be considered when the backing position or installation sequence makes a single wrap difficult. The arrangement needs project-specific approval, with visible splice locations and support defined on the drawing. It is a detailing option, not a hidden construction established by these images.

When Should Final Architrave Dimensions Be Released?

Survey after the lift frame and relevant finished-wall references can be confirmed, while coordinating the design earlier with both contractors. Record opening size, head position, wall depth and floor datum for each location. Final production dimensions follow the approved survey and interface information, not an assumed nominal opening.

Can the Existing Frame Receive Decorative Covers?

A cover arrangement may be possible where the lift contractor approves the proposed section. Keep required movement, access and equipment functions unobstructed, and identify the allowed fixing zones. Decorative stainless steel cladding must not be treated as a replacement for the supporting frame or door operating components.

Elevator details that protect the design intent

The finish package is developed around the real cabin, not applied as an unrelated decorative layer.

Rectangular Heads and Straight Jamb Lines

The entrance geometry stays deliberately simple, using broad upper panels and linear sides to define the opening without a patterned or curved transom.

Dark Metal Beside Pale Wall Fields

Strong tonal contrast makes the portal readable within the landing elevation, allowing the surrounding wall to remain visually quiet.

Single Portals or a Repeated Lift Bank

The references cover individual and paired entrances. A coordinated head datum can link multiple openings while retaining separate measured component schedules.

Returns Developed for the Installed Frame

The decorative edge can be detailed around the actual wall depth and lift-frame boundary, providing a project-specific transition instead of a universal wrap profile.

What a coordinated elevator interior solves

Project challenge

Cabin and landing finishes do not match

Xinmao response

Elevator interior questions

Practical answers for design and construction teams reviewing a custom elevator finish package.

Custom architectural stainless steel screen detail
01Is an elevator entrance header a decorative cover or part of the door mechanism?

Our entrance header refers to decorative metal cladding above the landing door. It is specified separately from the elevator door operator, structural header and rated entrance assembly. Fixings, clearances, access and the junction with the door jambs are reviewed against approved elevator and architectural drawings.

02How do you coordinate the header and jamb cladding with the lobby wall?

We review the entrance opening, visible returns, wall build-up, adjacent finishes and panel joints together. Final sizes should follow confirmed site dimensions and the elevator supplier's entrance drawings. The project team should agree who prepares the substrate and who completes any required fire stopping.

03Can cab panels be removed for maintenance?

Where the approved elevator system requires access, selected panels or trims can be detailed for removal. Access locations and removal clearances should be marked on the supplier drawings before the decorative layout is approved.

04Can the cab ceiling include lighting?

The decorative ceiling can be coordinated around an approved lighting layout and required access. Light fixtures, wiring and emergency lighting should be specified and approved by the responsible elevator and electrical teams unless explicitly included in the agreed scope.

05Which stainless steel finish is best for a high-traffic elevator?

The choice depends on the desired appearance, touch frequency, cleaning routine and lighting. Brushed, textured, mirror and selected coloured finishes can be reviewed through physical samples. A sample should be assessed in representative lighting, especially around doors and controls where marks are more visible.

06How should stainless steel elevator panels and doors be cleaned?

Use the care instructions approved for the selected finish or coating. Before using any cleaner across the whole surface, test it on a discreet area and avoid methods that could scratch or alter the finish. Request a finish-specific care sheet with the approved sample.

07Can you match the finish across cab walls, doors and elevator lobby cladding?

We can review these visible elements as one finish family using approved samples and a coordinated panel layout. The final match depends on substrate, finish process, batch, viewing angle and lighting; samples and acceptance criteria should be agreed before production.

08Which elevator interior elements can be included?

The agreed scope may include cabin wall panels, feature walls, ceilings, doors, jambs, portals, skirting and selected trims, subject to supplier coordination.

09Do you coordinate with the elevator supplier?

Yes. Approved supplier drawings, dimensions, allowances and technical interfaces are essential inputs for the decorative package.

10Can an existing elevator interior be refurbished?

Refurbishment can be reviewed after the existing cabin, substrate, clearances, condition and supplier requirements are confirmed.

11What finish options are available?

Brushed, mirror, textured, etched, embossed and selected PVD-coloured stainless steel finishes may be considered, subject to sample approval and product suitability.

12How are weight and clearance constraints handled?

All relevant limits must be supplied and confirmed by the elevator provider or responsible consultant. Panel construction is then developed within those confirmed constraints.

13Can a sample or mock-up be prepared?

Physical finish samples and representative panel details can be discussed once the design direction and scope are defined.

14Who installs the decorative package?

Installation responsibility depends on the project scope. The sequence and interfaces should be agreed with the elevator contractor and site team before production.

15What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide supplier drawings, cabin dimensions, quantities, scope elements, finish references, project location, programme and any confirmed technical constraints.
