The elevator interior, also called the cab, is the enclosed car that carries passengers. Its finishes, weight, and fixtures decide how the building feels and how long the car lasts.
Wall panels, ceiling and lighting, handrails and bumper rails, flooring, car operating panel and fixtures, and sometimes screens and glass. Each affects the car's total weight against its rated load, and each must meet fire, accessibility, and ASME A17.1 requirements.
Budget renovations typically start around $20,000–$35,000 per cab, mid-range custom interiors run $35,000–$60,000, custom interiors $60,000–$100,000, and premium work exceeds $100,000. Scope, materials, engineering, and markups drive the range.

Lifespan depends on materials, traffic, and maintenance. Finishes detailed for the strike zone and daily cleaning last far longer than finishes chosen only for opening-day appearance.
