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. A stair lift is simple to operate and easily installed. 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 usually more expensive, as they have to be made to measure to 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.
