A Buyer's Guide to Curved Stairlifts

Are you missing your freedom? Do you struggle with not being able to get up your stairs anymore? If this is down to mobility issues, joint aches, or problems then it may be time to consider installing a stairlift. Here at Western Mobility we specialise in stair lifts and ensuring that you find the right stairlift for your needs and requirements. We are the leading installers of home mobility aid products in the West of Ireland. 

 

Established since 2002, all our staff are highly trained and certified in the installation of all our products. One of our main aims has always been to carry out adaptations within your home as quickly and efficiently as possible ensuring the minimum inconvenience to you. Within this post we learn about our three curved stairlifts and the main differences between them.

 

Do you Have a Curved Staircase?

 

You may be considering moving to a flat or bungalow due to having stairs in your home that

restrict your access to rooms upstairs. Here at Western Mobility, we could save you time, money, and disruption by the installation of one of our stair lifts meaning you can keep living in your home and in your familiar surroundings and environment. 

 

What is great is that our stairlifts can be fitted to both straight and curved staircases which is brilliant because many staircases go round corners. With our advanced design and slick and smooth stair lift options, corners and curved staircases are never a problem; making it easy for almost anyone to glide up and downthe stairs in complete comfort and safety.

 

Keep reading below to learn about our three different curved stairs lifts. These are all of the

highest quality; offering you exceptional standard and ways to keep living your own life and

having a better quality of life.

 

The Van Gogh - The Curved Stairlift is one of the most popular curved stairlifts on the market. It runs silently, which is a great feature and its ‘turn and go’ function allows it to be installed in narrow; tight staircases are a benefit to many. Once you are seated your seat will turn automatically so that your back faces the stairs, not the wall or handrail, during travel and thereby move your knees away from clashes with the wall or banister. Another great feature is that when your stairlift is not being used; it can be folded up to maximise free space. The seat, as well as the footplate and armrests can be folded up. This is a great feature if you are short on space.

 

The Rembrandt - The Curved Stairlift is designed to be installed on the inside bend of the stairs. If you want to keep your stairs clear for use then this is perfect for you. The track of the Rembrandt stairlift runs above the narrow side of the stairs allowing the broad section of the stairs to remain completely free; perfect for family members and friends to use. Like the Van Gogh, this lift also has the ‘turn and go’ function as well as the ability to fold up when not in use, so great for tight spaces.

 

The Flow - The Curved Stairlift is unique. It is the only stairlift which can swivel during the ride both up and down the stairs. This is patented and makes this lift capable of fitting most staircases, straight, around corners or even spiral. A perfect choice. It can easily work on narrow staircases; as narrow as 61cm (24 inches) by swivelling the footrest as it goes up; a genius idea. This is a compact stair lift that on the outside could look simple; but on the inside the technology is astonishing as it is extremely ingenious. The angle of the staircase can vary from -70° up to 70° which is just phenomenal; making this lift a great choice.
