Escalators with solid steel sides embody a robust and modern aesthetic in contrast to their glass counterparts. Designed with steel side panels, they exude a solid and sturdy appearance, adding a sense of durability and strength to the environment. These opaque sides offer a more closed and structured look while maintaining a contemporary touch. The combination of efficient functionality typical of escalators with the robust presence of steel makes them an appealing choice for industrial settings, corporate buildings, and other spaces where a modern and enduring design is desired. They do include controls for animations.
