How You Could Benefit by Installing Curved Stair Lifts in Your Home?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Brinkmann_Hamer]Brinkmann Hamer

For the people who face problems while climbing up and down the stairs, stair-lifts are the perfect solution. Whether it is a straight or curved-stair-lift, it has equal significance. A stair lift offers independence and freedom and does not leave a disabled person to be dependent on someone else. A stair-lift can be chosen according to the type of stairs that you have at your home.

A curved-stair-lift is one that is custom made to fit a staircase according to the exact measurements. As opposed to straight stair-lifts, which can be fitted on any staircase, curved-stair-lifts are made to fit a particular staircase and a curved-stair lift being used in someone's home cannot be used on any other staircase.

One can benefit in many ways by having a stair lift installed at home no matter what the type of stair-lift. Stair lifts now come in a lot of models and types and a lot of attention is paid to various factors related to the user of the stair lift. Some of the factors that you would have to keep in consideration while getting a curved-stair lift includes whether you are left-handed or right handed, your ability to lift your feet to a height and the height from which you can manage to get out of a chair.

With a curved-stair lift, you don't have to worry about your comfort while climbing the stairs anymore because curved stair lifts are very comfortable and the ride is smooth. After a few days of using a curved stair lift in your home, you will find that the relative expensiveness of a curved-stair-lift is worth it.

Curved-stair lifts function quietly, and are highly reliable. Another great benefit of a curved stair-lift is that it can be controlled with a handset or joystick, which is very advantageous for the people who have problems with operating things with their fingers, as a joystick is a lot easier to operate than control buttons.

Another great benefit of a curved-stair lift is that in case of powers cuts and problems, the stair-lift is still operable. This is enabled with a battery pack system, which would never leave you stuck at the top or bottom of the stairs.

Curved-stair-lifts are not only efficient but are also have virtually constant speed and solves mobility problems for the disabled people. There is also the fact that the installation costs are not very high. If you're wondering about why curved stair-lifts are more expensive than straight ones, it is because of the fact that they are customised. In case of a curved stair-lift, the details of the measurements and shape of the staircase is taken and then the stair lift is customised accordingly. However, they are worth every penny, considering the benefits.

When it comes to the installation of a curved stair-lift, the company from which you buy the stair lift does it. The maintenance and after sale services are also provided for a certain period.
