What is a straight stairlift?
Straight stairlifts (sometimes referred to as chair lifts) are the quickest and easiest stairlifts to install. They go straight up a straight staircase instead of curving around bends and over landings.
Simple stairlifts that go straight up
Straight stairs are usually straightforward! Stairlifts for straight staircases are the quickest and easiest product to install. As the product only takes a few hours to fit, it’s often something that can be installed quickly. If the need for a stairlift is urgent, like someone returning from hospital, we might be able to put something in on the same day.
The stairlift design will vary slightly between manufacturers, but they all do the same job. Each product includes a chair, perch seat or standing platform which travels on a stairlift rail fixed to the treads of the staircase, not the wall. If you’ve got a straight staircase that needs a lift, we’d be happy to talk to you about options and timescales, drop us a line for more information.
