Ensuring you get the right stairlift from the start means you can have comfort in the knowledge you have the ideal solution that will stand the test of time. Once you go out to buy a stairlift, the first step is choosing the right model for you depending on your situation. Your choice of stairlift relies on whether you have a straight staircase or a staircase with turns.

Straight Stairs or Stairs with Turns¶

Every home’s stairs are a bit different. The straight rail is the most widely used type in people’s homes and can be installed in just a couple of hours. A straight staircase doesn’t have a turn, landing or bend. The straight rail is built from aluminum and is available in either silver or bronze finish.

A staircase with turns come in a variety of designs, from spiral to fanned to half or quarter landings. A *Stannah stairlift FL may also be used to reach more than one floor. Owing to the distinctive nature of a staircase with turns its rails are custom made for each home.

Peer Recommendation¶

Do you know a person who owns a stairlift? If so, speak to them because their experience could prove valuable.
• What do they like about their stairlift?
• What would they change?
• How satisfied they were with the installation process?

You can also go through some independently rated customer reviews as a starting point.

Look Around¶

Ensure you have secured several stairlift quotes so you can perform a like-for-like comparison on the full package, aftercare services, and product attributes such as swiveling seats. Pick the right stairlift in your own time. For instance, if your balance isn’t good, you should find a stairlift model that allows the footrest to be folded via a link to the arm or seat; or better still through an automatic button in the arm, instead of having to bend down.

If your stairs are wide or narrow you would want to have some preparatory work completed, like removing radiators or furniture. Be sure the sales consultants explain every feature in detail so you can properly compare various types of stairlifts.

Stair Lift For Outdoors¶
