Will a stairlift damage my stairs?
No, they are mounted directly to the stair treads, not the walls. This means your staircase remains structurally intact, and any marks left behind after removal are minimal and easy to repair.
Modern units are engineered to operate smoothly and quietly, so they blend into daily life without disturbance. The gentle ride allows for use at any time of day without disrupting others in the home.
Do they work in power outages?
Yes, stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries that keep them functioning even when the power goes out. The batteries automatically recharge when the lift is at rest, so you can depend on it every day.
Can stairlifts be installed outdoors?
Yes, outdoor models are available and built with weather-resistant materials to handle rain, snow, and temperature changes. These lifts are ideal for porches, decks, or steps leading to the yard.
