Curved stairlifts are stair lifts which are suitable for staircases that have bends, are oddly shaped, or has multiple landings. They are custom made and fashioned to the design of your present staircase without the possibility of finding the same exact installation elsewhere. This explains the bigger costs and longer time it takes out of your resources.
Curved stairlifts function like any other stair elevator but they follow a track that run around bends on a set of stairs and can even be made to run right up on the landing and above the top step. The intricate installation of these tracks demands professional work so contact a reliable service provider. Stairlift companies will conduct an on-site inspection in the area of installation to give you an estimate of the total work costs. Curved stairlifts installation expenses are determined by five factors, namely: number of bends, angle of the bends, length of the staircase, work duration, labor and materials charges. The work progress might last in about 3 to 10 weeks for assembly and installation that will cost you around ten times than a straight stair lift.
Rental of curved stairlifts is literally impossible unless you find an exact match to your staircase design without any modifications necessary. Stair lift resellers is a tricky option because they use old tracks and bend them to fits your staircase. This is dangerous because it lessens the integrity of the tracks and can likely cause accidents.
Curved stairlifts also have little re-sell value and you can only expect to sell the chair, control, and motor parts that will only yield a fraction of your initial investment of installation. If you decide to move out of your current house, the next owner might charge you with removal expenses of the curved stairlifts if he decides not to retain it. You cannot bring the stairlift system into your new home unless you have matched staircase in your previous address.
When you decide to spend on your stairlifts anyway, then find a stairlift company that gives after sales support and warranty. The maintenance of curved stairlifts should also be discussed with your chosen contractor. When you lack the budget for your twisting staircase lift, you can opt for a lesser alternative called a double installation. Ask your stairlift company of availing this set-up because it has limiting structure requirements than curved stairlifts.
