Modern way to avoid stair stress
AHOME lift is a modern answer to a problem most people have to deal with as their mobility declines — how to use the stairs without strain and risk.
Having a domestic lift installed means you can stay in your home and enjoy it even more, thanks to this desirable renovation.
Being able to take bulky items such as your washing basket, vacuum cleaner, suitcase and even the family pet upstairs in the lift is an added plus.
Mr and Mrs Head (pictured right) recently had a lift installed.
Mrs Head explains: ‘ We have just decorated our living room, so it was important for us that the lift looked good.
‘In fact it is very stylish and doesn’t look like a box at all.
‘I can get my walker in the lift when I am having a difficult day, and I also carry shopping up, which helps me so much.
‘I can’t begin to explain how much it has made a difference. We had a fantastic service from our first enquiry through to installation, which ran so smoothly.’
According to National House Building Council in 1987, 15 per cent of new homes built were bungalows. In 2017 this had dropped to only two per cent. And according to Which?, the cost of moving home can typically be up to £24,585.
So a home lift meets a very real need for people who would otherwise be looking for a way to live on one level. A stylish domestic lift is spacious, comfortable and safe, and can carry up to three people and a wheelchair, if required. It takes up little room and a neat rail design means it doesn’t require a supporting wall.
Put it in a corner of the living room, tuck it in a cupboard, or place it in a stairwell.
It is very quiet to operate, while a remote control makes it easy to call to you.
