Curved Stair Lifts - An Overview
from:If you are looking to purchase a stair lift and are worried
about getting one to fit because you have a curved, odd shaped
staircase or multiple landings - dont be! Curved stair lifts are
just what you need.
No matter what the configuration or layout of your staircase,
stair lifts can be tailor made to the size and shape of
virtually any staircase easily coping with bends, straights and
landings.
But of course, this extra flexibility comes at a price generally
speaking these types of stair lifts are more expensive than
their straight counterparts. Depending upon the configuration of
your staircase the price will be based upon several factors: the
number of bends, the angle of the bends, the length of the
actual staircase, cost of labour etc.
Another design plus with curved stairlifts is their ability to
be installed on either the inside or the outside path of your
stairs. Basically, this means the stairlift can run along either
side of your stairs and the profile of your stairs will
ascertain which would be the most suitable option for you.
Although there is a buoyant market for second-hand and used
straight stair lifts there is little market for curved stair
lifts. And as such they have no real resale value, because they
are custom made to fit individual staircases they are not
suitable for installing in other properties.
In view of this, if you find that after a few years you have to
move out of your home, unless you have an identical staircase,
it is best to leave your stair lift in situ.
Again, because they are individually made, be prepared to pay
your supplier a substantial deposit when ordering a curved stair
lift. This practice does not generally take place with a normal,
straight stair lifts but the one you are ordering will only fit
in your house and if you pull out of the deal the supplier will
not be able to resell it.
If you are considering having a stair lift in your home the
website below contains free information and impartial advice on
this topic.
These are, of course, just a couple of minor considerations you
should bear in mind when deciding to buy a curved stairlift...
you may decide that the advantages of being able to access all
the floors your existing home far out way these points -
especially when compared to the stress and expense of converting
your house or moving to a single storey residence.
