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.

You can easily install the chairlifts when you have straight stairways. You can, however, be confused as to whether you can install the lifts if you have an 180 degree or 90 degrees. You might think it is difficult to work with the stairways if they are curved however you need to think harder.

The good news is that you can have it installed with the current technology, but it will a bit expensive as compared to the straight ones since they will have to be custom made entirely so as to fit. The straight stair can be installed easily since they can be installed from the normal premade parts that can be cut easily. The most intricate area during installing of the stairway seat lifts is customizing the railing on which the seat has to glide on. The straight railings can be made easily and installed easily too unlike the curved one that has to be made carefully for a particular chamber or curve that the chair has to travel or navigate through.

Therefore, installation of a stair lift chairs in the stairway in case there is stair flight with any bend is indeed very possible. Some of the stair have their bends and turn on top of the stair, whereas others have the short radius landings mostly at the center; it is obviously dependent on the space restraints in your home.

Make sure that you invest wisely. What does this mean, well, you can decide to go the cheaper way where you will acquire the cheap rails and fittings. However, as they say, cheap will be expensive. This is the case because when you get the counterfeits, you will find that the chairs will get stuck more often that it should. This is because either rails will have bends that will hinder the movement. On the other scale, this may end up ruining your chair lift. In short, you will have to buy a new replacement for both the chair and also the rails.So go for the best there is in the market but obviously, go for the pocket-friendly choice.

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 go to the market with mind your current needs. Whatever you buy should also be able to match the needs of your building. Different elevators will be used for different purposes and hence choose the one that will match your needs.
