Outdoor Stairlift Benefits
There are multiple benefits that arise from having a stairlift installed on your outdoor staircase 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 external 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.
Slips and falls are extremely possible on outdoor staircases due to uncertain weather conditions. When rain, ice, or snow fall occurs slipping is extremely common- therefore- a protective cover on top of your external stairlift will help out.
We can also add additional safety features, such as safety sensors and a heavy duty lap harness that will give extra safety.
Restores independence
Many people that get a lift installed on their outdoor staircase 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 outside 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 outdoor 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, kitchen, or in this case even the garden.
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, outdoor 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 or curved stairs is a great option for those needing help for a short period of time.
Weather resistance
Our team provides a weather resistant feature, such as a protective cover from the top of the stairs to the bottom, so that you are not only out of the rain but also UV protected.
The drive rack follows the staircase and not the wall, so that all the features of the installation will be hidden from the weather conditions due to the cover- meaning that the machinery will last a long time, due to not being worn out.
