If you have a staircase with curves or turns, you might be wondering if a stairlift can work for your home. The good news is that yes, stairlifts can go around corners! For homeowners with curved or winding staircases, a curved stairlift can provide the perfect solution, ensuring you can continue to enjoy the full use of your home without difficulty.
At EMS Lifts, we specialise in providing customised curved stairlifts designed to fit your staircase precisely, allowing you to navigate corners, bends, and landings safely and independently.
Why Choose a Curved Stairlift?
A curved stairlift is the ideal solution for individuals whose stairs have one or more curves. These stairlifts are designed to fit seamlessly to the unique shape of your stairs, making them an excellent option for complex staircases.
Unlike traditional straight stairlifts, which only work for linear stairs, curved stairlifts can navigate the twists and turns of your staircase with ease, promoting independence and safety.
When you choose a curved stairlift, you benefit from:
- Custom-Fit Design: Every curved stairlift is made to measure, ensuring it perfectly adapts to the specific shape and dimensions of your stairs.
- Energy Efficient: EMS curved stairlifts are cheaper to run than your kettle, offering a more affordable and energy-efficient solution in the long run.
- Battery Power: Our curved stairlifts are powered by batteries which are charged by mains electricity, so they will continue to function even during a power cut.
- Ease of Use: The stairlift is designed for easy use, allowing you to move effortlessly between floors of your home.
