Curved Stairlifts
If you have a staircase with twists, turns and bends, which you require a stairlift to fit, don’t panic! With the latest technologies available, a curved stairlift can be made specifically for your stairs.
All curved stairlifts have a bespoke track system which is designed to fit neatly to your staircase. Even on the tightest of stairs, tilt and turn technology allows a user – safe travel up and down the stairs in various ways.
What is a Curved Stairlift?
Any staircase which incorporates various twists and turns will require a track system which mimics the flow of the staircase. A photographic survey will allow either a twin or single rail track system to be bespoke made, although a curved stairlift track is made up of various sections it will allow the user continuous travel from the bottom to the top of the stairs and back down again.
If the stairlift needs to travel through multiple floors, the track systems can have multiple stop and park stations allowing charging in between journeys. Dependent on which track system is suitable, will determine the type of stairlift carriage and motor system needed. Whereas a twin track system can offer a larger carrying weight a single track can offer reverse travel which can be ideal in tight spots along the journey.
Aesthetically single rail stairlift can look the most minimalist and will save space if the household has multiple people using the staircase. With seat and track colours to complement your décor, a stairlift can become a technological focal point or blend neatly in its surroundings.

What is the cost?
Moving home is always a costly exercise, but when it’s fuelled by a desire to change your surroundings, it’s often a cost we are only too happy to have. If, however the only reason for a house move is not being able to get up and down the stairs, a stairlift is a fraction of the cost of moving.

Curved stairlifts are generally more expensive, mainly due to the cost of a made to measure, bespoke stairlift track. The carriage systems offer the most technically advanced seating positions which means the user can have a comfortable journey up and down the stairs.
Curved stairlifts offer the same safety features as a straight stairlift and with additional features available, you can tailor a curved stairlift to meet your personal criteria.
