The beauty of a straight stairlift

As we get older, getting up the stairs gets harder, if not impossible. That’s where stairlifts can help. If your relative needs a stairlift and their stairs don’t have bends, they’ll need a straight stairlift. With a stair lift installed, they’ll gain a new lease on life and will keep hold of their independence.

There are a few things to bear in mind, though, before buying a straight stairlift. A key thing is to have the staircase professionally measured by your supplier. It should also be checked to see if it’s strong enough for a straight stair lift. Any signs of wear and tear and the staircase should be fixed before your relative has their straight stairlift installed.

Straight stairlifts have a few advantages over curved stairlifts. For starters, they’re considerably cheaper to buy and install. Straight stairlifts are also a very neat alternative and store easily, with their folding chair, which also helps improve health and safety around the home.

A straight stairlift can really encourage independence, because your relative won’t need anyone’s help, as the stair lift comes with a remote control, which is simple to use. Straight stairlifts give a very smooth ride and will even work in a power cut, thanks to their battery backup feature.
