Home Lifts & Stairlifts
Access all levels of your home safely with lifts, stairlifts, and platform lifts.
Overview
When stairs become a barrier, vertical access solutions allow you to remain in your multi-level home. From simple stairlifts to full home elevators, there are options for different needs and budgets.
Common Modifications
Stairlifts
Chair lift that travels along stairs. Available for straight or curved staircases. Folds away when not in use. Most economical vertical access solution.
Platform Lifts
Wheelchair platform that travels vertically or along stairs. For wheelchair users who want to remain in their chair. Requires more space than stairlift.
Home Elevators
Small residential elevator connecting floors. Most flexible option, can carry multiple people. Requires significant space and structural work.
Through-Floor Lifts
Wheelchair platform that travels between two floors through an opening in the ceiling. More compact than traditional elevator.
External Lifts
Lift installed on exterior of house. Solution when internal space is limited. Weather-protected enclosure required.
Step Lifts
Small platform lift for short flights of stairs or single steps. Alternative to ramps when space is limited.
Key Considerations
- Space available for installation
- Structural requirements
