I don't know How to Measure the Height of My Floors?
Accurate measurements are crucial before ordering a home lift. An incorrect height can cause delays, additional costs, and may require adjustments. At the final stage, a SWIFT technician will visit your home to verify measurements and review the drawings.
However, for an initial quote or cost estimate, you can perform a preliminary measurement yourself.
How to Measure Floor-to-Floor Height
SWIFT provides simple tools and guidance to help you measure your home remotely. Here are some recommended methods:
- Measuring Tape
Use a standard tape measure to extend vertically from the floor to the ceiling. Ensure the tape remains straight and record the measurement in meters and millimeters. - Laser Distance Meter
For precise results, use a laser distance meter. Aim the laser at the top of the floor or ceiling, and the device will instantly calculate the height.
- 3. Smartphone Apps
Many apps use your phone’s camera and sensors to measure distances accurately, often leveraging augmented reality technology. - 4. Include Inter-Floor Distance
Don’t forget the space between floors (inter-floor construction). Measure from the bottom of one floor to the top of the next to calculate the total floor-to-floor height accurately. If your floor plan is closed, refer to your building drawings or consult your builder.
By following these steps, you can get a reliable estimate of ceiling height, minimum ceiling height, and standard roof height to help plan your home elevator installation efficiently.
