Straight VS Curved Stairlifts

When making a decision for which option is best for your curved stair case, you should consider the following. There are two types of stairlifts available, curved stairlifts and straight stairlifts.

CURVED STAIRLIFTS

One chair rides from the bottom to the top of the stairs and vise verse. The average cost for a curved stairlift is between $10900.00 – $12900.00. At the present time curved stairlifts are manufactured in the UK and usually average around four-six weeks to build and deliver. They are the best and only solution if you have no landing between the stairs and if you are unable to transfer  from  chair to chair. When purchasing a curved stairlift it’s always a good idea to call a local dealer in your area for a free in home evaluation.

(Landing would need to be flat). Having two straight stairlifts will require the rider to transfer from one lift to the other on the landing dividing the stairs. Average cost for two stairlifts $5500.00 – $6500.00 (Half the price of the curved stairlift) and usually takes less than a week to get installed. Two straight stairlifts is a good solution if the user can transfer from chair to chair and you have a large enough landing.
