What to Look for When Buying Stairlifts for Your Stairways

Stair lifts, also called stair chair lifts, provide safe and comfortable

movement in multistoried buildings, especially for those who have difficulty

in climbing stairs. A stair chair helps physically challenged people go up and

down the stairs on their own without waiting for someone to help them. Of

course, these mobility devices are valuable additions in any residential or

commercial setting, improving the quality of life of the users. They also

enhance the resale value of your building. People who would otherwise not

consider a multistory home or office space will also be encouraged to buy

your building when stair lifts are installed.

Today, there are so many stair lift

models available in the industry;

therefore it's quite challenging for

you to decide on the most suitable

stair lift. Before buying stair lifts,

try to obtain all details regarding

the different models of stairlifts

available in the industry and their prices.

Consider the following factors before buying stairlifts for your stairways:

• What type of stairways do you have?

• What are the specific requirements of the user?

• What is your budget?

Type of stairways: When buying stairlifts for your stairways, it is very

important to consider the type of stairway – whether straight or curved.

Choose a straight stair lift if you have a straight stairway that has no curves

or landings. These types of stairlifts are the cheapest. Curved stair lifts are

designed for stairways with bends and turns. These are generally more

expensive.

The specific requirements of the user: The nature of the user’s

physical disability should be taken into consideration when selecting a

handicap stair lift. If the injury or disability is temporary then it would be

advisable to rent a stair chair rather than buy it. If the condition is permanent

whether due to disease, age, or handicap then buying a stair lift would be the

best option.

What is your budget? Choose stair chair lifts based on how much

you can afford. Buying residential stair lifts from a reputable dealer will help

you benefit from cost-effective models. The dealer can assist you in making

a wise decision.

Prepare a list of features that you want in your residential stair lifts. Also

consider the features integrated in each model, speed and loading capacity,

as these may vary from one model to another. Before purchasing any stair

lift, you should get a written quotation. This is essential because stair lifts

are costly. To get the best deal, get in touch with a number of stairlift

suppliers in order to have a number of options.
