Frequently Asked Questions, Answered
What is a straight stair lift?
A straight stair lift is a motorised chair on a rail fixed to the treads of a straight staircase, carrying the user between floors at the press of a button. The rail attaches to the stairs, not the wall, so installation is clean and fully reversible. It is the most common and affordable stair lift type, suitable for any single-flight staircase without bends or landings.
What is the difference between a straight and curved stairlift?
A straight stairlift uses a standard pre-made rail for staircases with no bends or turns. A curved stairlift uses a custom-built rail manufactured to match the exact shape of a specific staircase, including corners, landings, and spiral sections. Curved stairlifts take longer to produce and cost more. For most UAE homes with a single-flight staircase, a straight stairlift is the more practical and affordable option.
What are the advantages of straight stairs?
Straight stairs are the simplest and safest staircase layout for people with mobility challenges, as there are no turns or changes in direction. They are also the easiest and least expensive staircase type to fit with a stair lift, since a standard pre-made rail can be used without custom manufacturing.
What are straight stairs used for?
Straight stairs connect two floor levels in the most direct way possible. They are the most common staircase type in UAE villas and apartments and are regularly adapted for accessibility by fitting a straight stair lift, allowing elderly users and People of Determination to move between floors safely and independently.
How to make straight stairs safer?
The most effective ways to make straight stairs safer include installing a stair lift, fitting handrails on both sides, adding non-slip treads to each step, and ensuring the staircase is well lit and kept clear. For users with significant mobility needs, a straight stair lift removes the risk of falls entirely by eliminating the need to climb the stairs at all.
