Sillskin® - Elevator Sill Overlays for Modernization and New Construction
MEI – Archi-Tread has revolutionized the elevator industry. This patented field-installed overlay system improves the appearance of the elevator sill while avoiding the traditional means of “chopping out” the existing sill. Therefore avoiding all the downtime and damages incurred when chopping out the sill. During a typical installation, it is not required to remove the doors, and installation is completed within hours by an Archi-Tread authorized and trained mechanic. Providing a premium finish at a cost-effective price works.
SILLSKIN®: Modernization
Upgrade Without the Tear-Out
SILLSKIN® is a patented, field-installed overlay system that installs directly over the existing sill—eliminating demolition, reducing downtime, and avoiding disruption.
This fast, clean solution gives aging entrances a sleek, modern finish without the mess, noise, or damage caused by traditional tear-out.
Key benefits:
- Applied directly over existing sill—no removal required
- Avoids mess, noise, and surface damage to floors
- Fast turnaround with minimal impact to operations
- Delivers a modern, high-end appearance
- Provides a seamless fit
SILLSKIN®: New Construction
Protect During Buildout. Finish at Turnover.
Designed specifically for new construction, this two-part system ensures sill finishes remain protected and look pristine at project close.
MEI – Archi-Tread provides a pre-engineered, extruded aluminum base sill to be installed by the elevator contractor during equipment installation. Once heavy construction is complete, an MEI – Archi-Tread technician applies the SILLSKIN® cladding—delivering a clean, consistent finish ready for turnover.
Key benefits:
- Base sill installed during elevator installation
- Overlay applied post-construction
- Prevents sill damage during construction
- Ensures a clean, consistent look at turnover
- Engineered for durability and visual impact
