Make a Grand Entrance: Extra-Height Lift Doors
When you’re designing a home with generous ceiling heights, every detail matters. Tall windows, oversized entry doors and expansive living spaces all contribute to a sense of scale and luxury — so why should your home lift be any different?
At Shotton Lifts, we offer custom 2340mm-high lift doors, giving homeowners and designers the option to create a taller, more impressive entrance that feels completely at home in grand architectural spaces.
Designed for Homes with Higher Ceilings
Standard-height lift doors can sometimes look undersized when surrounded by high ceilings and oversized architectural features. Increasing the door height to 2340mm helps bring the lift into proportion with the rest of the space.
The result is a more seamless transition between the lift and your interior, particularly in homes featuring:
Extra tall interior ceilings
Large open-plan living spaces
Luxury architectural detailing
Custom-designed interiors
Rather than looking like a purely functional addition, the lift becomes part of the overall architectural vision.
A More Impressive Entrance
An extra 200 or 300 millimetres might sound like a small design decision, but visually, it can make a significant difference.
A taller lift entrance creates a greater sense of openness and gives the lift a more premium presence. It can also help maintain consistent sightlines when other doors throughout the home have been designed at above-standard heights.
For architects, designers and homeowners who have carefully considered the proportions of every element in a home, this additional flexibility means the lift doesn’t have to compromise the design.
A Custom Option You Won’t Find Everywhere
Custom extra-height lift doors are not something every residential lift company can offer.
Shotton Lifts is one of the few lift companies in Australia able to offer 2340mm-high lift doors, providing greater design freedom for homes where standard dimensions simply don’t achieve the desired result.
It’s part of our approach to residential lifts: your lift should be designed around your home, rather than your home having to be designed around your lift.
Elevating the Details
A home lift is a long-term addition to your property, and choosing the right proportions can make all the difference to how naturally it integrates into the space.
