People flow solutions for residential building segment 

Making a Residential Building a Home 

All it takes is movement, the comfortable and safe flow of people, to turn a residential building into a living space and an inviting home.

For residential buildings KONE offers a wide range of solutions that increase the amount of passenger space, decrease energy consumption and guarantee good accessibility. A KONE solution is not just an elevator; it’s a complete people flow solution that is designed to last for the lifetime of the building. The solution starts with an analysis of the traffic patterns in the building to ensure the smooth flow of people. During construction, KONE is early on the site, providing vertical transportation for goods and crews.
 
KONE maximizes the equipment’s performance, availability and safety with preventive maintenance. KONE elevators and doors are safe and accessible for all passengers, including families with children and people with disabilities. And, with smart modernization, KONE elevators and doors can operate efficiently and reliably for as long as the building stands. The KONE Care for Life™ assessment helps you to understand the current status of your equipment and decide about your maintenance and modernization needs.

KONE offers elevator solutions developed specifically for existing residential buildings. For example, in the counter-weightless KONE MaxiSpace™, the shaft space is used efficiently with approximately one-third more space available for passenger use. KONE offers extensive options in full replacement and can also give your building a completely new start by adding an elevator to an existing building without one.

For residential buildings KONE offers a number of entrance solutions, such as various types of sliding and swing pedestrian doors and automatic garage doors. KONE also offers different types of gates to control access to residential premises.

Whether you’re an architect, builder, owner or passenger – KONE solutions make your day a little bit smoother.
