Stair lifts for narrow stairs can fit staircases as narrow as 610 mm, depending on the model and layout. But before you get your tape measure out, there are a few other vital things to consider. The important question is not simply how wide the staircase is. We also need to look at the shape […]

Stairlift Solutions has several curved stairlifts designed for tight spaces, including the Flow X, which can be installed on staircases as narrow as 610 mm depending on the layout. The right option depends on the width of the stairs, the shape […]

How Does a Stairlift […]
As long as it’s been installed by a professional, experienced stairlift engineer…. if the power goes out, your stairlift should still keep working. Modern stairlifts use rechargeable batteries, so the lift itself is battery powered rather than relying directly on mains electricity while it moves. The mains supply is there to keep those batteries charged. […]
Sometimes, yes. If you’re moving house and already have a stairlift that works well, it makes sense to ask whether it can come with you rather than automatically buying a brand new stairlift. The answer depends mainly on the type of lift and the staircase in your new property. A straight stairlift is often easier […]
