Why choose a stainless steel home lift ?
Why choose a stainless steel home lift ?
Reducing the environmental impact of our products by choosing eco-friendly materials has become essential today.
Stainless steel perfectly meets this expectation. Its basic chemical composition (iron, carbon and chromium) gives it specific properties, more advantageous compared to other alloys. It is recyclable, making it a perfect asset to preserve the planet.
Its major advantage: high resistance to oxidation
It is mainly due to the presence of chromium which forms a thin layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the steel, in contact with the oxygen in the atmosphere.
This thin layer gives stainless steel its corrosion resistance properties.
Its other advantage is mainly aesthetic.
Stainless steel is the universal material favoured by architects thanks to the different texture that it is possible to give it. It also has a very long lifetime.
Stainless steel is also an easy-to-clean material, making it the perfect coating for high-traffic areas, such as a home lift.
Ermhes offers 3 types of materials depending on your Homelift application:
Powder coated steel:
this is the material that allows you an almost infinite customization.

The second France’s most visited monument crazy history
The second France's most visited monument crazy history
In 1894, Théophile Bader and Alphonse Kahn wanted to open a «novelty store» and moved to 1 La Fayette street, in a small premises of 70m².
It extends three years later, purchasing the entire building. That's when the store takes its name from “Galeries Lafayette”.
In 1903, the 4 neighbouring buildings have been added to get an important real estate environment.
Théophile Bader dreams of a «luxury bazaar». With the impetus of department stores, the Galeries Lafayette becomes a leisure activity in its own right, with the addition of tea rooms or reading areas.
The shop was inaugurated in 1912 and the dome was built with the aim of flooding the large hall with light and thus making all the merchandise shine.
Another symbol is the shop windows. Through a genuine dramatization, they highlight the products sold in the store.
However, the store wants to democratize fashion and make it affordable to all budgets. It implements a clothing manufacture as its own brand and became the “best-selling house in Paris”.
In 1974, the main stair was demolished to give way to prestigious shops as we know today.
The Galeries Lafayette is the France's most visited monument, after the Eiffel Tower with 37 millions visitors per year.
A roof terrace overlooking Paris give a panoramic view over the capital. In 2018 ERMHES accessible to all this unique place installing one of its platform lifts for PWD.
Eiffel Tower meeting
Eiffel Tower meeting
At the Universal Exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, a major competition was organized.
The purpose of the competition is to study the possibility of «raising on the Champ de Mars a square-based iron tower of 125 meters wide and 300 meters high». 107 projects are presented, Gustave Eiffel’s project was selected.
The project originally planned has not been fully respected. The top had to have a bulb shape and the whole monument had to have various ornaments. A simplified version will finally be decided.
The elements of the Tower are drawn a tenth of a millimeter and assembled in 5-metre pieces in the buildings in Levallois-Perret.
For assembling, temporary bolts are used. Then they are replaced one by one by hot-laid rivets. The installation of these rivets required 4 men (per rivet). The Tower has more than 1 million rivets.
The construction of the Eiffel Tower began in January 1887 and has been completed 2 years, 2 months and 5 days later, on March 31, 1889. Thanks to this construction, Gustave Eiffel was decorated with the Legion of Honor. This ceremony took place on the platform of the Tower summit.
130 years later, the Eiffel Tower became the France symbol and the showcase of Paris. It now welcomes about 7 million visitors per year. It is therefore the world’s most visited entrance-paying monument.
To facilitate its access, ERMHES has installed in 2018 two platform lifts at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower.
