Why Home Lifts are better than Stairlifts?
Five reasons why we know Homelifts are better than Stairlifts...
I am sure we have all come across the awkward stairlift in the home (for those that struggle with mobility, whether that is through an ongoing disability, old age, or illness) stairlifts can be space intrusive on staircases and landings, they are also noisy and slow moving between floors. But stairlifts are not the only option for moving between floors in your home, not many people are familiar with the notion of Home Lifts. Through the floor homelifts
have been around for some time and are now becoming the chosen alternative to the more commonplace stairlift and here are five reasons why.
1)
Home lifts are way faster when compared to stairlifts, which sometimes feels like you are in slow motion to get up or down the stairs. A through the floor lift can take you to the floor above or below in under 30 seconds and they are so easy to use!
2)
A through the floor homelift
is more reliable
than stairlifts which often breakdown, leaving homeowners ‘trapped’ upstairs or confined to the downstairs until the problem is fixed. All our home lifts come with a guarantee and we provide a comprehensive Nationwide service.
3)
Surprisingly, our stylish Home Lifts do not take up much space
(many models are less than 1m2) nor do they spoil the aesthetic of your home like a stairlift can. This keeps your staircase the width it is supposed to be, keeping your staircase wide enough for others in your home or visitors to use safely.
4)
Our Home Lifts also allow for more than one person to travel at one time, meaning that unlike a stairlift, a carer can, if required, accompany the user at all times.
5)
Our Home Lifts are suitable for wheelchair users
and users of walking frames and aids. Bespoke HomeLifts
can be adapted with seats and handrails to help with any access needs, always ensuring safety.
