Matching of material selection and architectural style

1. Glass: the core of transparency and modernity
Glass is one of the most commonly used materials in modern sightseeing elevator design. It provides excellent views and can be integrated with many different architectural styles. Especially in high-rise buildings and landmark buildings, glass can not only maximize the viewing effect, but also present a simple, clear and modern visual effect in appearance.

Combination of transparent glass and metal frame
Large areas of transparent glass enable sightseeing elevators to maximize the display of surrounding landscapes and urban features. In modern buildings, glass is often combined with metal frames (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.) to create an elevator appearance that is both transparent and sturdy. The use of metal frames can enhance the stability of the structure, while transparent glass allows the elevator to seamlessly connect with the outside environment, allowing passengers to enjoy an unobstructed viewing experience during the ride.

This design has not only been widely used in modern business buildings, high-end residential areas and shopping centers, but can also effectively coordinate with the geometric shapes, straight lines and simple styles of modern buildings. Glass curtain walls in modern buildings are often combined with metal supporting structures. The glass walls of sightseeing elevators form a harmonious and unified visual effect with the facade of the building.

Anti-ultraviolet glass and energy-saving design
When selecting materials, in addition to aesthetics and functionality, anti-ultraviolet glass is also a consideration that cannot be ignored. Anti-ultraviolet glass can not only effectively block harmful ultraviolet rays and protect passengers from sunlight, but also reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the interior of the building and prevent the fading of furniture and decorations. The use of low-emissivity glass with energy-saving effects can further improve the environmental performance of the building and reduce energy consumption.

2. Metal: a balance between modernity and functionality
Metal materials not only provide a solid structural foundation for sightseeing elevators, but also show a sense of modernity, simplicity and technology in appearance. Different types of metal materials and surface treatment technologies can make the design of sightseeing elevators more in line with the requirements of architectural style.

Stainless steel and aluminum alloy: a perfect combination of lightness and firmness
Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metal materials. It is widely used in the frame and structure of elevators because of its advantages such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance and easy cleaning. The surface of stainless steel can be polished, brushed, mirrored and other treatments to present different textures to match the modern, industrial or high-tech style of the building.

Aluminum alloy is a lightweight material with good processability, especially suitable for use in designs that need to save space or have high weight requirements. The surface of aluminum alloy can be treated in a variety of ways, such as spraying, anodizing, etc., to present different colors and textures, making it more in line with the overall design requirements of the building's appearance.

The fit between surface treatment and architectural style
The surface treatment of metal materials can also make the sightseeing elevator more in line with the architectural style. In some buildings that tend to be industrial-style, the rough metal surface treatment and the naturally oxidized metal effect can echo the "original" appearance of the building. In some minimalist or futuristic buildings, polished mirror stainless steel can match the high gloss and modern sense of the building to form a unified visual effect.

3. Wood: a natural and warm element
Although wood is not often used in the external structure of sightseeing elevators, it often occupies an important position in the interior and some designs of elevators. Wood can add a natural and warm feeling to the sightseeing elevator, which is particularly suitable for those architectural styles that focus on natural atmosphere or ecological environment.

Combination of wood and modern architecture
Wood in modern buildings is often used for decorative elements, such as walls, floors or ceilings in elevators. The combination of wood with metal and glass can add a warm and natural atmosphere to the modern sense. For those designs that pursue "ecological architecture" or "green architecture", the use of wood is particularly important.

Sustainability of wood
With the increase of environmental awareness, more and more buildings have begun to pay attention to the sustainability of materials. As a renewable resource, wood has a lower environmental burden and conforms to the concept of green architecture. When choosing wood, designers can choose certified sustainable wood to ensure that it meets environmental standards and increase the harmony between the sightseeing elevator and the surrounding environment.

4. Stone and ceramics: stable and classic elements
In some traditional or classical style buildings, stone and ceramics are widely used in facade decoration and interior decoration. For some high-end and luxurious buildings, stone and ceramics can not only add a sense of history and stability, but also bring a luxurious texture to the sightseeing elevator.

Marble and Granite
Natural stones such as marble and granite are used for decoration in high-end buildings. They have unique textures and visual impact. In the interior design of sightseeing elevators, stone is usually used for floor, wall and elevator details, making the elevator more noble and elegant.

5. Innovative materials: meeting future needs
With the development of science and technology, more and more new materials are introduced into the design of sightseeing elevators. These materials not only have excellent functionality, but also enhance the innovation and uniqueness of the design. New materials such as smart glass, composite materials, and carbon fiber can improve the functionality of elevators, reduce weight, improve durability, and add a sense of the future and technology.
