Navigating The Twists and Turns Of Stairlift Installations
Space Constraints
Modern stairlifts are designed to fit different staircases, but some spaces can be tricky. Narrow stairs or lower headroom might need a custom solution—our expert team at Senior Stairlifts will assess your stairs and guide you through every step.
Curved Staircases
Curved staircases can be a bit more challenging since every turn and angle needs precise measurements to ensure a smooth and secure fit. Fortunately, we offer custom curved stairlifts designed specifically for these situations. Our team will carefully measure your staircase to create a perfect fit, so you get a comfortable and reliable ride every time.
Outdoor Stairs
If you have outdoor stairs, there are weather-resistant stairlifts designed just for that. These outdoor stairlifts are built to handle rain, snow, and changing temperatures, ensuring a safe and reliable way to navigate outdoor spaces. With durable materials and protective features, they provide long-lasting support for those who need extra assistance outside.

Before making a decision, it’s important to carefully assess your staircase.
