What To Know About Maryland Chair Lifts For Stairs

By Walter Hayes


The stairs chair lifts have two major categories, that is, the curved and straight stair chair lifts. This is a very obvious categorization and distinction because these are mobility aids meant to aid you in going up and down the stairs and obviously, stairs will either be curved or straight. Below are a few things that you should know about Maryland chair lifts for stairs.

The straight stairways are very easy to sort the issue of installing chair lifts. However, in case the stairway has an 180 degree, 90 degree bend or is curved, you can think that it is impossible to have installed in your home a stairway lift.

Brighten up as you can have it installed thanks to the new technology. It might, however, cost you more money than the one that you would have used if you installed it in the straight one. Installing the lift on the straight stairs can be easier as you can use the pre-made parts to handle the task. The basic technique of the construction process is customizing the stairway to have a smooth place where the chair can glide on. That means it will be much easier to construct it on the straight railings than on the curved stairways. You furthermore will have to exercise more keenness on specific curves or point that the seat would pass through.

No matter how your stairs look, installation of the stair lift chairs is possible. This will be made possible by the level of technical ability and also the technology. Thus you can install the lift chairs even where there are bends at an angle of up to 180 degrees, and also where there are short radius landings at the center.

The most vital factor to consider in getting the chairs that is going to withstand any bend is to ensure that it is bespoke made. There is nothing as bad as having the seat and railing hacked together from old pieces and bits that do not fit well and finding the chairs getting snagged or stuck when you come close to the corner. Like they keep saying, cheap is very expensive, so invest wisely and get good quality materials especially for a thing that will ferry you up and down the stair each waking day.

You should also know that there might be instances when you will have to install two straight chairs instead of the single curved one. If you are thinking of considering this alternative, then you need to be very careful with the installation as you will have to choose a much safer landing place where the two chairs can both land safely with a safe space between each other.

The very last thing to think about for the curved stairways chairs is the way the railings will be attached since after all people might end up getting worried about the seat being able to hold the weight. The good thing is that most of these chairs are nowadays dependent on railings that are stuck on real stair so that there is no weight on the banister or wall.

Always first assess your needs first before acquiring these lifts. You should go for elevators that suit your needs and will also at your building regulations. That will also help to improve delivery of services.
