Over the last two weeks, the Anglian Lifts team has completed two very different but equally impressive PVE home lift installations: a 2 stop PVE30 Eco in Peterborough, installed in just one day, and a 4 stop PVE37 in London, completed over a carefully planned three-day installation period.
Both projects show exactly why PVE vacuum elevators have become such a popular choice for homeowners who want a stylish, space-saving and practical lift solution without the need for a traditional lift shaft, pit or machine room.
A One-Day PVE30 Eco Installation in Peterborough
The first project was a 2 stop PVE30 Eco home lift in Peterborough. This compact vacuum elevator is ideal where space is limited but the client still wants the freedom and convenience of moving between floors with ease.
The PVE30 Eco is the smallest model in the PVE range, making it a perfect option for domestic homes where a conventional lift would be difficult to accommodate. Its circular design, self-supporting structure and reduced building requirements mean it can often be installed with minimal disruption.
For this Peterborough installation, our team completed the full lift installation in one day.
That is one of the major advantages of the PVE system. Because the lift does not require a lift shaft, deep pit or separate machine room, the installation process is far quicker than many traditional home lift options. Once the opening works and preparation are complete, the lift itself can be assembled efficiently on site by our trained engineers.
The finished result is a clean, modern and discreet home lift that fits naturally within the property. The white frame and smoked panoramic panels give the lift a contemporary look, while still allowing light to pass through and keeping the hallway feeling open.
A Four-Stop PVE37 Installation in London
The second project was a much larger installation: a 4 stop PVE37 vacuum elevator in London.
This lift was installed over three days, which is a fantastic achievement for a four-floor home lift installation. A traditional four-stop lift would normally require far more building work, a dedicated shaft and a much longer installation programme. With the PVE system, the structure of the lift itself forms the shaft, helping to reduce the overall impact on the property.
The PVE37 is a larger model than the PVE30 Eco and offers more internal space, making it a popular option for clients who want a little more room inside the lift car while still keeping the elegant cylindrical design that PVE lifts are known for.
This London installation is a great example of how a vacuum elevator can become a real feature within a home. The black finish, curved glass panels and compact circular footprint allow the lift to sit comfortably within a beautifully finished interior. Rather than looking like an afterthought, the lift becomes part of the design of the room.
Installed across four floors, this PVE37 gives the client easy access throughout the property while maintaining the character and style of the home.
Why Choose a PVE Vacuum Elevator?
PVE home lifts are very different from conventional domestic lifts. Instead of using traditional cables, hydraulics or a separate lift shaft, they operate using air pressure. This allows for a more compact, self-contained design.
Some of the key benefits include:
- No traditional lift shaft required
- No deep pit required
- No separate machine room
- Compact circular footprint
- Panoramic design
- Fast installation times
- Suitable for many existing homes
- Stylish modern appearance
For many homeowners, the biggest advantage is the reduced disruption. Whether it is a 2 stop lift or a 4 stop lift, the PVE range can often be installed far more quickly than a conventional home lift.
Installed by Trained Anglian Lifts Engineers
Both of these installations were completed by the Anglian Lifts engineering team. As with all our home lift projects, the process starts long before the lift arrives on site.
We help with the survey, planning, preparation, coordination and installation, making sure that the chosen lift suits the property and the client’s needs. Every home is different, which is why proper planning is so important.
The Peterborough PVE30 Eco and the London PVE37 are excellent examples of what can be achieved with the right product, the right preparation and the right installation team.
Two Very Different Homes, One Practical Solution
Although these two projects were very different in size and style, they both had the same aim: to make moving around the home easier.
The PVE30 Eco in Peterborough provided a compact, efficient 2 stop solution and was installed in just one day.
The PVE37 in London provided access across four floors and was completed over a three-day installation period.
Both installations show how a PVE vacuum elevator can offer practical access without compromising the look and feel of the home.
