Stair Lifts

When climbing the stairs in your own home becomes difficult or even dangerous installing a stairlift can greatly improve your independence, and allow you to continue to enjoy your home. Often having a chair lift installed can remove the need to move home, which can be a very stressful and expensive alternative.

Modern stair lifts are easy to operate, quick to install and fit most staircases; both straight and curved.

Types of Stair Lifts

There are two main types — straight stair lifts and curved stair lifts. They can be used in just about any home. They are special chairs which run on a track that is mounted on the stairs in your home. This chair has a motor attached to it that will lift a person up and down the stairs. This is some thing that will come in very handy for anyone that has a hard time going up or down stairs. You simply sit in the chair and it will gently take you up and down.

Straight Stair Lifts

On straight stairs lift, the footrest of the lift will normally stop level with the top stair.

Curved Stair Lifts

Curved stair lifts, are generally more expensive, as it is usually 'made to measure' or 'curved track stair lift' which can travel around bends on the stairs and can be made to run on to the landing. Prices vary according to the length of the stairs, the number of bends and the complexity of the bends.

Curved stair lifts can usually be fitted on either side of the stairs; the layout of your staircase will determine which is most suitable.
