Five ways to enhance elevator design with double-sided adhesive tapes

Written by Gabor Kiss | Oct 7, 2021 8:45:00 AM

Elevators have evolved into a standout building feature, moving ever-increasing numbers of people up, down (and now sideways). Mechanical and technical feats are propelling elevator performance into the smart world, where people connect digitally to elevators on all fronts: as engineers performing predictive repairs, as building operators managing rush hour footfall, and as passengers moving inside cabins – often up to 50 stories high at unbelievable speeds. In fact, Otis elevators alone move two billion people per day.

With up to thousands of people passing through one cabin each day, cabin design is more than a representation of the establishment it serves. As a relatively small space, elevator cabins need exceptional durability to withstand exceptionally high footfall.


Whether you are installing stiffener bars, mounting mirrors, decorative panels, trims, or flooring, tesa double-sided adhesive tape is proven to be a superior bonding solution. Let’s explore the benefits of its different applications.

 

Bonding stiffeners bars

Optimise your assembly process and efficacy. The tesa® 45001 Flame Retardant PE Foam tape is a uniquely formulated PE-foam tape for permanent mounting in demanding applications like stiffener bars for landing doors. The tape comprises a flame-retardant acrylic adhesive and flame retardant PE-foam with excellent bonding strength.


The tesa® 45001 Flame Retardant PE Foam tape offers excellent adhesion to a variety of material surfaces, such as thin metal or composite panels, without any additional tools. We can work with you to understand your needs in detail and create a customised solution – so you benefit from the ideal tape for your project specifics.

 

Mirror mounting

Mirrors can have an exquisite impact in an elevator cabin. But when it comes to mounting them, you need a secure and reliable adhesive solution. There’s simply no room for adhesion failure; the consequences could be severe.

Decorative panels
