Narrow stairlifts work the same way as standard stairlifts and offer many of the same benefits. But they also have some unique benefits that only apply to them.
Stairlifts designed for narrow staircases are specifically tailored to fit in limited spaces. They feature compact designs that utilise minimal space, allowing individuals to navigate narrow staircases comfortably and without obstructing the staircase for others.
The primary advantage of a stairlift is that it provides enhanced accessibility for individuals with mobility issues or physical disabilities. By installing a stairlift on a narrow staircase, you can enable people to move between floors independently and safely without the need for assistance or the risk of falls.
Narrow staircases may be a challenging space to work with when it comes to accessibility solutions. However, modern stairlifts are designed with aesthetics in mind. They often feature sleek and unobtrusive designs that blend with the existing decor, preserving the overall aesthetics of the home without compromising functionality.
Standard stairlifts require about 29 inches of staircase width to be installed. If your staircase is narrower than this, you should consider installing a narrow stairlift.
The Flow X is designed for both straight and curved staircases. The installer will assess the design for your staircase and come with a customised railing to match the design of your staircase and the number of landing spots.
Narrow stairlifts are more versatile than their standard counterparts in terms of space. But like our other options, they have a weight capacity of up to 275 kg, depending on whether it is a straight or curved stairlift.
