Stairlifts benefit homes in many ways
The internet is chock-full of useful and truthful information, but also many myths. Our experienced team here at Preferred Elevator has been helping customers for almost 15 years, and it’s our job to keep our potential customers well-informed. Today we’ll debunk some of the most common myths about stairlifts. Read on to learn more information.
Stairlifts Take Up Your Whole Staircase
This idea is a myth. After we install a stairlift, there will still be room for others to use the staircase on foot. The stairlifts that we install have the narrowest rail on the market and you can fold the chair’s arms, seat, and footrest to ensure that the chair itself is out of the way. Also, whether your staircase is small or large, curved, or straight, we can accommodate most homes. We understand that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to stairlift installation and we will help you plan accordingly.
Stairlifts Attach to the Wall
On the contrary, we mount these lifts on the tread of the stairs, so installation and removal are easy. As a stairlift user travels up and down the steps, there is no damage to the walls. The point of stairlift installation is that a stairlift will fit perfectly into the layout of your home and be a source of convenience.
Only Seniors Benefit From Stairlifts
Statistically, more seniors than not use this device. However, anyone can benefit from having this type of lift in their home. A stairlift is helpful for a person that has any mobility impairment, is recovering from a surgery or has sustained a significant injury and finds it challenging to travel safely up and down the steps.
Stairlifts Take Away Independence
There is nothing wrong with admitting that you need help. Everyone does. A stairlift can give you the kind of help that you need when walking up and down the steps has become difficult or even worse, dangerous. Having any home modification in your home means that it will take you less time to carry out your daily tasks and gives you the independence to carry out those tasks. It’s freeing to be able to use all levels of your home safely.
