Are you looking for a way to skip the stairs without installing a stairlift or building a full elevator shaft?
The Savaria Luma Through-Floor Lift is a beautifully designed two-stop lift that travels through a simple floor cut-out, requiring no hoistway, no pit, and no support wall. With its self-supporting rail system and compact footprint, the Luma is one of the most flexible and space-efficient accessibility solutions available for residential homes.
At Atlantic Elevators, we install the Savaria Luma throughout the Outer Banks, Eastern North Carolina, and Central and Southeastern Virginia for homeowners who want a clean, modern mobility solution without major structural disruption.
A Smarter Way to Move Between Floors Without Major Construction
The Savaria Luma Through-Floor Lift is designed for homeowners who want safe, seamless mobility without the complexity of a traditional residential elevator. Its compact footprint, self-supporting rail system, and minimal structural requirements make it one of the most practical and design-friendly two-stop lift solutions available on the market today.
No Shaft. No Pit. No Structural Overhaul.
Unlike traditional home elevators, the Luma travels through a floor opening using a self-supporting rail system. That means:
- No shaftway required
- No pit construction
- No support wall needed
- Minimal structural modification
This makes the Luma ideal for retrofits, remodels, beach homes, townhomes, and aging-in-place upgrades.
The Luma requires only a 38″ x 47″ footprint, making it perfect for homes where space is limited.
Savaria Luma Lift Features
Savaria is a global leader in accessibility equipment, and the Luma lift is built to meet all applicable safety code standards. Every feature of the Savaria Luma lift is engineered to deliver smooth performance and everyday usability.
Self-Supporting Rails with Hidden Drive System – Install Almost Anywhere!
Thanks to its self-supporting rail system and hidden drive rope design, the Luma eliminates exposed cables and bulky mechanical components. Because it does not require a load-bearing wall, the Luma’s installation is flexible and can be installed almost anywhere including:
- In open floor plans
- Near staircases
- In living spaces
- In bedrooms or hallways
- In areas where traditional elevators aren’t feasible
This flexibility makes it one of the most flexible two-stop lift solutions available for residential use.
Simple Floor Cut-Out for Minimal Construction
Installation requires only a simple floor cut-out. A ceiling trim kit is included to create a clean, finished look, and the top landing is capped as the lift descends, maintaining safety and visual continuity between floors.
Built-In Ventilation Fan
A discreetly integrated ventilation fan promotes comfortable airflow within the cabin, ensuring every ride feels light and pleasant.
Full-Sized Clear Panelled Cabin
Crystal-clear acrylic panels surround the cabin, creating an open, spacious feel while allowing natural light to move freely between levels.
The result is a lift that enhances your home’s architecture rather than interrupting it.
LCD Status Display
An integrated LCD screen provides real-time system information, including operational status and alerts, offering clarity and peace of mind at a glance.
Easy Operation with Illuminated Controls
The Luma is operated using illuminated constant-pressure push-to-run buttons for safe, controlled movement.
The frame also includes a built-in call button, making operation simple and intuitive for daily use.
Full-Sized Door with Handrail & Interlock
The full-height door features clear acrylic panels, a secure door interlock system, and sturdy integrated handrail. This design ensures stability, visibility, and safety while maintaining the lift’s modern aesthetic.
Recessed Lighting
An elegant recessed lighting system built into both the door and cabin panels enhances visibility while adding a refined design element.
Non-Skid Floor & Built-In Sloped Entrance
The Luma’s cabin floor features an attractive non-skid surface for stability. A gently sloped threshold eliminates the need for a ramp or pit, reducing tripping hazards and improving accessibility.
Remote Controls Included
Two radio-frequency remote controls are included, allowing you to call or send the lift remotely, a convenient feature for multi-user households.
Optional Two-Door Model
For homes requiring straight-through access, the Luma can be configured with a second door. This option improves traffic flow and is especially helpful for users with walkers, rollators, or mobility aids.
Built for Safety, Connectivity & Peace of Mind
Savaria is a global leader in accessibility equipment, and the Luma lift is built to meet all applicable safety code standards.
The Savaria Luma Lift is engineered to meet or exceed applicable residential safety codes while also offering modern emergency communication and remote monitoring options. Using built-in obstruction sensors and real-time dealer notifications, this system is designed to protect your home and the people in it.
Luma Lift Safety Features
Every Luma lift includes layered safety features designed for daily residential use including:
- Emergency stop and alarm buttons
- Obstruction sensors that stop the lift in either direction
- Overspeed arrestor system to prevent unsafe travel speeds
- Door interlock system to prevent movement while the door is open
- Non-skid platform for stable footing
- Battery-powered lowering in the event of a power outage
Savaria Link Wi-Fi Monitoring
Using your home’s Wi-Fi network, Savaria Link allows remote monitoring of your Luma lift’s performance.
If a major fault occurs, our team can be notified automatically, helping us diagnose issues faster and reduce downtime.
For seasonal homeowners in the Outer Banks or clients with second residences in Virginia, this added layer of connectivity provides reassurance even when you are away.
One Touch Alert Emergency Communication
For added peace of mind, the optional Savaria One Touch Alert system provides instant two-way communication at the push of a button.
Installed by your local Atlantic Elevators technician, this system connects to a pre-programmed emergency contact list using an owner-supplied prepaid nano SIM card.
Not compatible with 5G or eSIM cards.
This feature is especially valuable for aging-in-place homeowners or properties with multiple users.

What to Expect – Our Luma Lift Installation Process
Installing a Luma through-floor lift is far less invasive than a traditional home elevator. Our team ensures the process is efficient, clean, and carefully coordinated from the first conversation through final walkthrough.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation
We begin with a detailed site visit to evaluate your layout, ceiling height, floor structure, and ideal placement. Because the Luma features a self-supporting rail system, it offers remarkable flexibility, even in spaces where a traditional elevator wouldn’t work.
We’ll answer your questions, review code requirements, and help you visualize how the lift will integrate into your home.
Step 2: Planning
Next, we determine the optimal location and configuration for your Luma lift, including door orientation and travel direction.
You’ll receive a clear, detailed proposal outlining:
- Lift model and specifications
- Required floor cut-out dimensions
- Electrical requirements
- Timeline and installation scope
Our goal is full transparency so you feel confident before moving forward.
Step 3: Site Preparation
Because the Luma requires only a simple floor cut-out and minimal structural reinforcement, preparation is straightforward compared to a shaft-based elevator.
Typically, floor and ceiling reinforcement is completed by a contractor. A dedicated electrical outlet may be installed nearby and the installation area is prepared for precise placement.
We coordinate closely to ensure everything is ready for a smooth install.
Step 4: Professional Installation & Walk Through
The Luma lift arrives largely pre-assembled, allowing for an efficient installation — typically completed in 1–2 days.
Once installed, we test all safety systems and verify smooth operation. Then, we walk you through the controls and features before answering any questions you may have before we leave.
