Turn your house into a bungalow

-

A STAIRLIFT can help you master ‘the three Rs’’ — regain your independen­ce, retain full use of your home, and remain in the home you love. Installing a stairlift turns your house into a bungalow, by removing the obstacle of the stairs if they become too challengin­g. The latest stairlifts are stylish, easy to use and affordable. And some are available with a hinged rail option, designed to eliminate any obstructio­n or trip hazard at the foot of the stairs. As an alternativ­e, a home lift can be small, quiet and fast. It doesn’t need fixing to the walls, there’s no major building work involved and it doesn’t need much space. It’s also an excellent way to future-proof the home and can be used for sending all sorts of household items up and down. Elegant vertical rails either side of the lift bear the load effortless­ly and are simply fixed straight through from the ground floor to the first floor to make a self-supporting structure. Travel from the living room up to a bedroom or site it in a garage or even a larder. The lift can be dismantled and moved at any time. However, it’s highly unlikely you’ll want to move once you have one in place.
