The quickest way to reclaim your stairs
If your staircase runs straight from bottom to top with no curve or mid-landing, a straight stairlift is almost always the right answer. The rail mounts to the stair treads (not your wall), the chair glides quietly on battery power, and the whole system folds away slim when it’s not in use.
Why homeowners choose a straight stairlift
- Affordable — the least expensive lift option, because the rail is a standard cut.
- Fast — frequently installed the same day.
- Safe — seat belt, swivel seat, safety sensors, and battery backup so it works in a power outage.
- Unobtrusive — folds flat; others walk the stairs normally.
Is your staircase straight?
If there are no bends, turns, or landings between floors, it’s a straight run. If your stairs turn a corner or pause at a landing, you’ll want a curved stairlift instead, which we build custom to the shape of your stairs. Not sure? We’ll confirm it during a free in-home measurement.
