Elevator Modernization in Buffalo, NY
Elevators have been a facet of commercial buildings for more than a century. Today’s modern elevators offer technological superiority over early models, however the grandeur and charm of original elevators is iconic. There comes a time when form and function must be on the same page, and for this, there’s elevator modernization in Buffalo, NY.
Modernization for elevators can mean a number of different things, but most often it means implementing new features and components, while restoring the original aesthetic of an elevator, to bring it up to modern standards. For example, a business may take an elevator designed in the 1950s, leave the charming façade and update its rigging and counterweight systems to meet modern standards.
