Which Stairlift Is Best For Straight Staircases?

Here at Halton Stairlifts, we offer a wide range of stairlifts, such as straight, curved, new and reconditioned lifts, all of which are designed to fit seamlessly into your home. If you have a straight staircase, then our straight stairlifts are the choice for you.

We offer a range of straight stairlifts to fit into your home without causing any damage to the structure. All of our stairlifts are battery-powered and provide users with a range of safety features. Some of the straight stairlifts we offer are:

As you can see, there is a wide range of options available if you own a straight stairlift. Straight stairlifts are usually more affordable compared to curved stairlifts as they don’t require custom-made rails and can be fitted onto any straight staircase.

Here at Halton Stairlifts, we are a Checkatrade-approved company with over two decades of experience in this industry, so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.

If you feel you would benefit from a free home assessment to check your staircase requirements, then we can arrange this. If your stairlift is narrow, there is no need to worry, as we have stairlifts available for narrow stairs too.

 

Can Stairlifts be Fitted to Curved Staircases?

The type of stairlift you need depends on the design of the staircase you have. So, if you have a curved stairlift, then you will need to invest in a curved stairlift. This is because curved staircases require custom-made rails to fit onto your staircase.

Because of this, straight stairlifts are not suitable for this type of staircase. A curved staircase will require a curved stairlift. Due to the need for bespoke tracks, the cost of a curved stairlift is slightly higher. The curved stairlifts we offer here at Halton Stairlifts are:

 

• Halton Style Curved Stairlift
• Halton Dual Rail Curved Stairlift
• Halton Ultimate Curved Stairlift
• Halton Signature Plus Curved
• Halton Signature Curved Stairlift
• Halton Dual Rail Curved HD
• Halton Dual Rail Curved Stairlift

Our range of curved stairlift options means that there is a stairlift available for everyone. For more information on our curved stairlifts, make sure to check out our curved stairlift page.

 

Can You Get Stairlifts For Outdoors?

Believe it or not, you can get stairlifts outdoors as well as indoors. So, if you have steps leading to your garden or your front door, then our outdoor stairlifts are the solution for you.

Although you don’t tend to see outdoor stairlifts as often as indoor ones, they are still a popular choice for those with steps outside their property.

Here at Halton Stairlifts, we believe that no one should be limited to accessing different parts of their home, so why should you be limited to accessing your garden or other outdoor areas?

Stairlifts are a great way to help individuals regain their independence and sense of freedom so that they can continue to enjoy the comfort of their own homes.

All of our outdoor stairlifts are weather-resistant, so you can rest assured that your stairlifts can face harsh weather conditions.

So, to answer your question, stairlifts can be fitted to certain stairs; however, there is a stairlift made for every staircase.
