Custom stainless steel elevator interiors
Gold and copper-tone stainless steel entrance surrounds add a warm decorative edge to hotel and commercial lift lobbies. The examples show brushed and mirror-finish jambs, patterned headers and louvered portal treatments beside stone walls. These are architectural cladding options around the opening, not the lift's structural frame, operating door or drive equipment.
Choose the portal shape, visible joint layout and reflection level from the project elevation. Xinmao Metal can fabricate approved jamb covers, head panels and adjacent returns to suit confirmed opening dimensions and a finish sample. The interface drawing should identify call-station positions, original frame boundaries, door clearances and inspection access. Any metal facing attached to a moving door requires separate lift-contractor approval.
Compare brushed or textured finishes for frequently touched edges, with mirror or PVD options where the design needs them. Approve a formed sample and grain direction.
Ask the original finish supplier to assess the damage. Local grinding may change the mirror appearance or remove the coloured layer; replacement may be preferable.
Cabin wall panels, doors, jambs, ceilings, skirting, trims and selected feature elements can be coordinated around approved elevator supplier information.
Lead time ：10–15 days after drawing confirmation (standard screen / ceiling / wall panel)
Minimum order ： No fixed MOQ; feasibility assessed per project
Standards ：Fabricated to ASTM A240 / EN 10088 material spec; finish per ASTM A480
PRODUCT 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.
The exact scope is confirmed with the elevator contractor and project team.
Panel arrangement responds to cabin proportions, control locations, maintenance access and design intent.
Finish direction should be reviewed across both cabin and landing interfaces.
Final grade, thickness and backing follow the project specification and elevator supplier requirements.
Construction is reviewed for appearance, panel depth, handling and supplier interface.
All relevant limits must be confirmed by the elevator supplier or responsible consultant before release.
Availability and suitability are confirmed for the selected panel and location.
Practical cleaning and touch visibility should be considered alongside appearance.
Samples should be reviewed under lighting close to the intended cabin condition where practical.
The process route follows the approved design and selected finish.
Confirmed dimensions reduce uncontrolled adjustments during installation.
Removal strategy should be coordinated with the elevator supplier and maintenance plan.
Final fabrication should follow approved and verified information.
Sequence is coordinated with the elevator contractor and project programme.
Care methods follow the approved finish and supplier requirements.
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.
The finish package is developed around the real cabin, not applied as an unrelated decorative layer.
Finish references can be reviewed across cabin panels, doors, jambs and nearby architectural metalwork.
Confirmed supplier interfaces are integrated into panel divisions and edge details before fabrication.
Panel construction is developed within limits confirmed by the elevator supplier and responsible project team.
Finish direction and practical cleaning requirements are considered alongside the desired appearance.
Selected panels or trims can be coordinated as removable elements where the approved system requires access.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The agreed scope may include cabin wall panels, feature walls, ceilings, doors, jambs, portals, skirting and selected trims, subject to supplier coordination.
Yes. Approved supplier drawings, dimensions, allowances and technical interfaces are essential inputs for the decorative package.
Refurbishment can be reviewed after the existing cabin, substrate, clearances, condition and supplier requirements are confirmed.
Brushed, mirror, textured, etched, embossed and selected PVD-coloured stainless steel finishes may be considered, subject to sample approval and product suitability.
All relevant limits must be supplied and confirmed by the elevator provider or responsible consultant. Panel construction is then developed within those confirmed constraints.
Physical finish samples and representative panel details can be discussed once the design direction and scope are defined.
Installation responsibility depends on the project scope. The sequence and interfaces should be agreed with the elevator contractor and site team before production.
Provide supplier drawings, cabin dimensions, quantities, scope elements, finish references, project location, programme and any confirmed technical constraints.
