Are you experiencing difficulty navigating the stairs in your multi-story home? Don’t let this challenge deprive you of the home you love and all its memories.
Rather than climbing stairs multiple times a day, imagine yourself comfortably seated, slowly gliding up or down your staircase. A home stair lift can put this easy journey within your reach.
Home stairlifts are less expensive and much easier to install than a home elevator, providing an efficient solution for you to safely access all levels of your home.
Tracks are installed within the footprint of your existing staircase – mounted directly on your stairs – for a firm lift foundation and no wall damage. Installation of some models can be accomplished in just one day.
Whether you have a straight staircase, a curved one or one with multiple landings, there is a home stair lift design to fit your requirements.
And stairlifts aren’t confined to the interior of your home. Specially designed, weatherproofed models can enable you to access outdoor living features such as decks, terraces and swimming pools. No matter the location, today’s stairlifts provide comfort, convenience and safety in motion.
Important features to look for in your residential stairlift:
- A padded seat and backrest, and a non-skid footrest – for maximum comfort while you ride.
- Easy-to-use controls that can be operated with the lightest of touches, especially important for those with limited dexterity.
- A lockable swivel seat that enables you to get on and off your stairlift without twisting your body.
- A fold-away chair design collapses the arms, seat and footrest towards the wall so other people can continue to use the stairs.
- Call/send controls that allow you to call the stairlift to your location.
- A continuous charge battery powered motor that will operate even during a power failure
- A safety belt to secure you at all times.
- A lockable on/off switch for child safety as well as battery conservation
- A diagnostic digital display that shows the exact status of the stairlift at all times.
- Safety sensors on the footrest and carriage to stop the lift automatically in case of obstructions
Beyond the features and options that come with the stairlift itself, it’s important to consider the process of installation and maintenance.
You’ll want to choose a manufacturer that stands behinds its products with a warranty, and look for the support of a local distributor you can count on in case of an emergency.
