Customisation & finishes

Cabin finishes, custom artisan work, designer collaborations — what we offer and what's honest to claim.

Most of our premium installs include some custom cabin work. The honest answers about what's realistic, what costs more, and where the limits are.

01 Can you build a cabin to my interior designer's drawing?
Yes — most premium residential and hospitality builds work this way. Bring the designer's drawing, mood board, or sample finish. We engineer to it and quote the finish premium upfront, with a sample panel delivered for sign-off before fabrication. Lead time adds 2-4 weeks depending on the finish complexity. Most-asked custom finishes: marble cladding (Ahmedabad), chikankari laser-cut steel (Lucknow), Jaisalmer-stone facade (Jaipur), Burma-teak panel (Kolkata heritage), wood-panel wine-cellar (Nashik).
02 How much does a custom marble cabin add to the cost?
Typically ₹2.5-4 lakhs for a 4-6 person cabin depending on marble grade and panel complexity. Lead time +3 weeks. The premium covers the marble sourcing, structural backing, mounting hardware, and additional cabin weight rating. We quote it as a transparent line item, not a vague "premium finish" surcharge.
03 Do you do glass cabins / panoramic shafts?
Yes — panoramic glass cabins are popular for villa lifts and hotel reception lifts. We do tempered laminated glass cabin walls, frameless or with stainless mullions. Structural rating is engineered per cabin; the cabin is heavier than standard so the drive sizing is checked. Glass cabin adds typically ₹1.5-3 lakhs depending on the panel area; lead time +2 weeks.
04 Can I integrate the lift cabin with my home automation?
Limited yes. We can integrate cabin lighting (RGB LED via Modbus or simple relay), cabin music (via aux input or Bluetooth speaker), and call-button visual indicators with most home-automation platforms. We don't integrate the safety logic with third-party automation — for safety and code-compliance reasons, the lift controller stays in charge of door operation, brake, and emergency response. Cosmetic and convenience integrations are fine.
05 Do you support custom branding inside the cabin?
Yes for hotels, hospitals, corporate offices. We supply etched or printed brand panels for cabin walls (3M vinyl, brushed-metal etch, or back-lit acrylic), cabin floor logos (mat or epoxy), and overhead infotainment displays. Brand panels are designed against your supplied artwork; we don't produce the artwork in-house.
06 What's the most-overrated cabin upgrade?
Honest answer — exotic wood inlay floors. They look great in the brochure, scuff badly within 6 months of daily use, and need refinishing on the AMC cycle. We'll do them if you specifically want them, but we'll usually suggest a high-grade vinyl or stone composite floor for daily-use cabins. Hospitality and showroom installs are different — they're for impression, not daily commute.
