What are the Best Stairlifts for My Home?
- Straight Rail: A straight rail stairlift is ideal for traditional straight staircases. This type of stairlift is precisely engineered to follow the exact path of a straight staircase without any landings, curves, or bends. The simplicity of the design contributes to a quicker installation process and often translates into a more cost-effective solution.
- Curved Rail: Depending on the curve and configuration of your staircase, you may require a custom-curved stairlift or two straight stairlifts. Our skilled technicians can design the perfect solution for your unique staircase.
- Outdoor Stairlifts: Outdoor stairlifts are ideal for getting users up straight or curved stairways to access landings, entryways, porches, and decks outside the home. Engineered specifically for exterior use, these stairlifts are built with weather-resistant materials that can withstand various climatic conditions, be it rain, snow, or intense heat. These outdoor solutions are equipped with advanced safety features, such as non-slip footrests and obstruction sensors, guaranteeing a secure ride.

Why Should I Choose a Stairway Chairlift?
Having a chair lift for stairs in your home can be incredibly beneficial. Not only can it provide a safe and secure way to get up and down the stairs, but it can also help to maintain independence for those who may have difficulty navigating the stairs on their own.
A chair lift can help reduce the risk of falls and injuries if someone were to go up and down the stairs without assistance. The lift can provide a secure and comfortable way to move between the two levels of the home, allowing for greater mobility and independence.
Finally, a chair lift for stairs can be a great way to add convenience and comfort to the home. The lift can quickly and easily transport items, such as groceries and laundry, between the two levels of the home. This can help save time and energy, while still providing a safe and secure way to move between levels.
How Do Stairlifts Attach to the Stairway?
Stairlifts are directly attached to the tread of your staircase. Our skilled service technicians can install your stairlift on numerous staircase surfaces, such as carpet, hardwoods, concrete, and even tile or marble, with special consideration and hardware. They are adept at performing installations with meticulous precision, ensuring the stairlift is securely anchored and operates smoothly.

How Long Does It Take To Install a Stairlift?
The installation of a stairlift typically ranges from a few hours to a full day.

Our team ensures a smooth and efficient stairlift installation process, minimizing disruption to your home or business.
What Happens to Stairlifts In The Case Of a Power Outage?
In the event of a power outage, most stairlifts are equipped with a robust battery backup system that ensures continued operation without interruption. This reliable feature allows users to safely navigate their stairs even when the main power supply is unavailable. The battery backup system is designed to automatically activate, providing peace of mind and maintaining the stairlift's functionality. Additionally, this system is regularly checked during routine maintenance to ensure optimal performance, offering users an extra layer of security and confidence during unforeseen power failures.
How Much Weight Can a Stairlift Hold?
Most stairlifts are designed to accommodate users weighing up to 300 pounds, ensuring safe and reliable operation for a wide range of individuals. For those with higher weight requirements, certain models are available that can handle even greater capacities. It's crucial to choose the right stairlift model based on the specific needs of the user to ensure both safety and comfort. Our stairlift selection includes various options to meet different weight requirements, providing a tailored solution for every home.
