If you’ve been considering a stairlift, you may have one big question: “Will it make my staircase difficult for everyone else to use?”
It’s a common concern, especially in busy households where multiple family members use the stairs every day. The good news is that modern straight stairlifts are designed with your entire household in mind.
A Compact Design That Keeps Your Stairs Usable
A straight stairlift doesn’t require major construction or take up the entire width of your staircase. The lift travels along a rail mounted directly to the stairs, leaving the rest of the staircase available for family members and visitors.
And when the stairlift isn’t being used, the seat and footrest fold up, creating an even slimmer profile.
That means you can have the added safety and independence of a stairlift without completely changing the way your family uses the staircase.
Simple Controls Make Every Trip Easier
Our straight stairlifts are designed to be easy to operate. With simple controls and a comfortable seat, you can travel between floors without struggling with the stairs.
The lift also includes built-in safety sensors that detect obstructions on the stairs and stop the lift if something is in its path.
Installation Can Be Fast and Convenient
For many straight staircases, installation can be completed in just a few hours. Central Illinois Stairlift offers same-day installation when scheduling and inventory allow, so you may not have to wait weeks to start using your lift.
There’s also no need for a major remodeling project. The stairlift rail mounts to the stairs rather than the wall, making installation much less disruptive to your home.
You Don’t Have to Give Up Your Staircase
A stairlift is meant to make your home easier to navigate, not make your home harder for everyone else to use.
If you’ve been putting off a stairlift because you’re worried it will take up too much space, a compact straight stairlift may be a better fit than you think.
Central Illinois Stairlift offers free in-home consultations so we can take a look at your staircase, answer your questions, and help you determine whether a straight stairlift is right for your home.
