Elevators

Elevators in sweden was in pretty cheap sollutions in history. Very small and simple elevators was very common in apartments houses. The elevators in apartments didn´t begun untill 1912, and they used to be gated inside with wooden door. and have an art-like interior.

In the 30´s the Funkis-styled houses begun in sweden, with simple interior-shaped elevators follows.

In the 40´s The gate removes with simple swing doors, that closes themself. Here also some really expensive Slide-doors and fully automated elevators on malls also begun.

In the 60´s the first Hydraulic elevators, based on Oil, begun, and in the mid 80´s the first digital-contolled elevators appear.

In 1995, the swedish law changed so all new elevator must have sliding doors and floor indicator inside, however, this didn´t affect older elevators at all, even if they begun to be modernised.

In 2007, however, the new European Elevator Directive started in europe, requiring almost all elevator to have inner-doors to protect all the passengers inside, with oher stuff so everyone can easily get in and use the elevator.
