Layout of Your Stairs is Critical in Choosing the Right Home Stair Lift
from:There are many factors to take into consideration when buying
your home stair lift. First off, you must take into
consideration the layout of your stairs. Now there are two types
of home stair lifts.
Straight: This stair lift is perfect for people who have
straight stairs. It'll usually have a footrest that normally is
at stop level with the top stair. Even on some slightly curved
stairs, the straight stair lift may be a viable option. For
instance if your stairs are straight but then curve at the top,
odds are you can still purchase this type of stair lift. Usually
the stair lift will have a folding platform.
Curved: This stair lift is of course for those people who have
curved stairs. If you have curved stairs, you will require a
home stair lift that's able to travel around bends on the stairs
and be made to run onto the landing. Depending upon your
situation, the stair lift can be fitted on either side of the
stairs. As you might have guessed, this stair lift is more
expensive and prices often are determined by the amount of bends
you have in stairs.
Keep in mind when you talk to a company specializing in stair
lifts that they knew the exact set up of your stairs. You don't
want to encounter a surprise increase in costs because they
found out at the last minute that your stairs may be a bit more
complex than they anticipated.
