Narrow Stairlift Benefits
There are multiple benefits that arise from having a stairlift installed on your narrow staircase in St Albans AL3 5 that you might not have possibly considered.
Here are just a few of these advantages:
Safety Improvement
When somebody is struggling to walk up and down the staircase, it is important to realise that a stair lift will benefit them for their safety.
Having a stairlift on your narrow stairs can improve safety as there is no risk of slips and falls as the person using the device will be seated and strapped in.
Narrow stairs will often be paired with extras such as a perch seat/ perch stairlift as the minimum width means that there is not enough space for a full conventional seated stairlift.
We can also add additional safety features for our narrow stairlifts in St Albans, such as safety sensors that will give extra safety.
Be sure to learn more about our bespoke stairlifts we offer if you're interested.
Restores independence
Many people that get a lift installed on their narrow staircase in St Albans are determined to have more independence as they may have required help getting up and down the stairs for a while.
It is also common for somebody returning home from hospital to get stairlifts for narrow stairs, meaning that they have had little time alone- the stair lift will help them to feel like they have improved massively.
Allows you to stay home
This point follows on from the previous. If you have a lift installed by us on your narrow staircases, you will be able to use rooms that are upstairs and downstairs.
This simply means that you do not need to stay in a different place where you might not be able to access a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen.
Short term solution for an injury
The most common reason for buying a stair lifts is that somebody with limited mobility needs access up and down the stairs, however, narrow stairlifts can also benefit those with an injury that will only need help whilst recovering.
This would allow you an option for stairlift rental. Renting a lift on your straight stairs is a great option for those needing help for a short period of time.
Are My Stairs Right for a Narrow Stairlift?
A normal stairlift will need a minimum width of 73cm. If the width of your stairs is smaller than this, you will be considered to have narrow stairs.
