Villa elevators typically employ higher-end materials and craftsmanship. Luxurious features such as all-glass cabins, solid wood interiors, and custom metal finishes are almost unheard of in ordinary residential elevators. The price difference for cabin decoration alone can be 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
The choice of elevator doors is also crucial. Villas often use frameless, all-glass automatic doors, while ordinary residences mostly use economical metal doors. The former is transparent and aesthetically pleasing but expensive, while the latter is practical but lacks design appeal. The difference in elevator guide rail materials is also significant; stainless steel is more than 30% more expensive than ordinary steel.
