Transform Your Hotel Elevators (Lifts) with Surfex Architectural Films | Surfex Film UK
In the 21st century, the globalization of brands gave rise to local and international tours and travel. During COVID, the global tourism industry stopped because of travel restrictions. In the post-COVID times, people started appreciating the blessings of the hospitality industry.
Interestingly, the UK hospitality business fell 81% in 2020 but in the coming four years, the global hospitality industry flourished exponentially. By the end of 2025, the UK hospitality industry market size is expected to reach USD 58.84b and it is projected to reach USD 66.67 b by the end of this decade. Hotels are integral to the hospitality industry all over the world. The elevator industry of the UK plays an integral part in the access to the hotel industry.
Role of Elevators in the Hospitality Industry
Hoteling is the most essential part of the UK hospitality industry apart from air travel. The average revenue of the top-of-the-line hotels in the UK has increased from USE 575.11 (2019) to USD 609.98 (2023).
The UK regulation of 2016, and BS EN 81 (British Standard for Lifts) enforce the optimum interior and exterior condition of the elevators. The hotel industry cannot function without functional and compliant elevators. With a wide variety of Surfex Architectural Films, you can transform your lifts quickly, cost-effectively, and with minimal disruption.
The Challenge of Worn Lift Interiors
Although the interior and exterior of the elevators do not wear in 10-15 years. It always depends on the frequency of use and the quality of the materials. Over time, lift interiors will wear and tear, from scratched panels and outdated finishes to scuffed walls and dull appearances. The rough appearance of the elevators will not make a strong impression on local and international guests. Below are some of the downsides of the depleted elevators.
- Bad Aesthetics and Low Visual Appeal
- Poor First Impression
- High Maintenance Costs
- Traditional Process is Cost and Time-Intensive
- Can Penalties from the Building Safety Authorities
- Likely Trigger the Maintenance Malfunctions
- Can Restrict the Access to the Building
- Accessibility Failure Penalties

Case Study: Luxury Hotel Elevator Renovation
We have recently renovated a luxury hotel near the coast. The client wanted to refurbish the elevators of the hotel. The installed elevators were worn out and portrayed a depleted image. Our team visited the site and accessed the pre-work requirements.
After the initial assessment, professionals of Surfex cleaned the surface of the elevators and carefully installed the Surfex films on all the elevators of the hotel. The hotel owner was extremely happy to save the day because the traditional ways of upgrading the elevators involve extended downtimes and hefty costs.
