Obam Stairlifts understands the importance of people being able to access different areas of their homes independently. A stairlift offers freedom and a sense of having more control of their surroundings.
What is a stairlift?
A stairlift is a motorised chair that moves along a rail mounted on a staircase. It provides a safe and convenient way for individuals with mobility challenges to access different levels of their homes. Stairlifts are designed to help people maintain independence and continue living comfortably in their homes without the struggle of climbing stairs.
What are the benefits of a Stairlift?
- Individuals can move freely between floors without assistance.
- Reduces the risk of falls and injuries on the stairs.
- Allows people to stay in their homes longer, avoiding the need for relocation.
- Most stairlifts are designed with simple controls, making them easy to use.
- Options such as foldable seats, remote controls, and safety belts ensure maximum comfort and security.
Why you shouldn’t leave getting a Stairlift too late?
Many people delay investing in a stairlift, thinking they can manage without one. However, waiting too long can increase the risk of falls and injuries, leading to a potential loss of independence. Installing a stairlift proactively ensures that mobility challenges are addressed before they become severe, allowing users to adapt comfortably to their new aid.
How to care for your Stairlift?
Regular maintenance is essential to keeping a stairlift running smoothly. Wipe down the track and seat regularly to prevent dust and debris buildup. Ensure the battery is charged and replaced when needed. Professional servicing can identify and fix issues before they become major problems. Using the stairlift frequently helps keep it in good working condition.
What are the different types of Stairlifts?
Stairlifts come in various designs to accommodate different types of staircases and user needs.
These are designed for staircases without curves or landings. They are typically more affordable and quicker to install.
Curved stairlifts are custom-built to fit staircases with bends, turns, or multiple landings. They require precise measurements and longer installation times but provide seamless mobility for complex layouts.
For homes with tight staircases, narrow stairlifts feature compact designs to maximise space while maintaining comfort and safety.
