Straight Stairlifts Can be Installed to Fit Almost Any Stairway
You want to live in your own home as long as possible but when stairs become an issue, residential stairlifts provide the independence to access all levels of your home while reducing the risk of falling.
Straight stairlifts are the simplest form of residential stairlift and the easiest to install. They are also the least expensive solution. Straight stairlifts are best suited for staircases that have no turns, bends or landings. Each track is cut to length based on the number of steps and they can be easily installed on either side of the stairs.
Options Used on Residential Stairlifts to Solve Unique Situations
Many straight stairlifts feature the ability to swivel your seat once you reach the top of the stairs. This means you exit your stairlift walking away from the stairs, decreasing the risk of falling. If you have doorways at the top or bottom of the stairs, there are options available that allow you to lift up the end of the track so the door can be closed easily.
Stairlifts for Narrow Stairs
There’s almost no minimum stair width for a stairlift, some straight stairlifts have fold up footrests, seat and armrests keeping the stairlift tucked away allowing more space on the stairs for other users. If space constraints mean you can’t keep your stairlift parked on the stairs, even with seat, foot and armrest folded, adding a short curved track addition to the end of the straight stairlift allows you to bend the track in any direction needed to park the stairlift off the stairs and out of the way.
