Vacuum home elevators (PVE)
A vacuum home elevator uses a self-supporting cab that rides on air pressure inside a clear tube. It needs no separate shaft, no pit and no machine room, so it goes into a home with minimal construction — and its round, see-through design is why people choose it when the look matters. We install PVE vacuum elevators across Louisiana and Alabama.
Our own crew, with over 700 installs and more than 70 years in the trade.
Why people choose a vacuum elevator
- The least construction. No shaft to frame, no pit to dig, no machine room — the simplest elevator to add to a finished home.
- A premium, modern look. A round, panoramic cab with a 360-degree view that looks like it belongs in the house.
- A quick install. A typical install runs about three to five days.
- A small footprint. The tube takes up a compact circle of floor, so it fits where a framed shaft won't.
