How do I know whether I need a straight or curved stairlift?
A straight stairlift fits a staircase that runs in one direction with no turns or intermediate landings. If your stairs turn, wrap, or include a landing that changes direction, a curved stairlift is usually required and will be measured specifically for your layout.
Will a stairlift block the stairs for everyone else?
Most stairlifts are designed to keep the staircase usable for other family members. During your evaluation, we look at stair width and placement so you understand how the lift will sit and how much space remains for foot traffic.
How long does installation usually take?
Many straight stairlift installations can be completed in a single visit once the equipment is ready. Curved stairlifts often require additional preparation because the rail is made to match your stairs, so we will walk you through a realistic timeline based on your home.
Do stairlifts work during power outages?
Yes, stairlifts use battery power so they continue to operate if your home loses electricity. This reliable backup ensures you are not left without mobility support.
