The process of refurbishing the interior of an elevator car — walls, floor, ceiling, lighting, and fixtures — without replacing the mechanical or electrical systems.
Full Definition
Cab renovation updates the aesthetic and functional elements of the elevator interior: wall panels, handrails, flooring materials, ceiling design, lighting fixtures, and push-button panels. It extends the usable life of the lift, improves passenger experience, and can be combined with accessibility upgrades such as tactile buttons, audio announcements, and braille labels. Cab renovation is typically performed while the lift remains in service on a floor-by-floor basis or over a planned weekend shutdown, minimising disruption to building occupants.
