STAIRLIFT OPTIONS.
The style of your staircase will dictate what sort of stairlift to choose:
Straight stairs – It is possible to fit a stairlift to almost all types of traditional staircases. If your stairs are a single flight and ascend in a straight line, then you can easily have a Straight Stairlift fitted. This is the most cost-effective type of stair lift and installation usually takes a couple of hours.
Curved stairs or an intermediate landing – If your stairs have a curve, then you will need a Curved Stairlift. Curved Stairlifts are bespoke, so can end up being more expensive than Straight Stairlifts, but as they are created to the individual staircase, this makes them far more versatile.
If you have reduced dexterity in your hands from arthritis or a lack of strength in your hands, you may find using the manual swivel level difficult, however there is an option for a powered swivel seat. With the powered swivel option, you will only need to continue holding the toggle that you will be using to operate the Stairlift.
