Why it matters
Finishes that survive New York
Elevator cabs take abuse no lobby wall ever sees — luggage, deliveries, dogs, moving blankets. We specify finishes for that reality: conversion-varnish lacquers on wood, PVD coatings on metals, and panel systems that let a single damaged section be swapped instead of re-skinning the whole cab.
Every sample is approved in hand before fabrication. Bring your architect's palette, or let us build one around your lobby finishes.
