Life can be full of ups and downs!

Getting up and down stairs could well become a challenge at some point in the future. But what to do? You could downsize to a bungalow or flat with all the upheaval involved. Or install an old-fashioned stairlift highlighti­ng your difficulti­es. Or maybe you’ll build an expensive extension, moving bedroom and bathroom downstairs. However, instead of downsizing, extending or installing a stairlift, smart homeowners choose to own a Stiltz Home Lift. A home lift is the most direct - and discreet - solution to moving between floors. Innovative and elegant technology allows the lift to be installed without need for supporting walls. Taking up less than 1msq, it fits just about anywhere, plugs into a wall socket and consumes no more power than a toaster!

A Stiltz Home Lift is perfect as an ‘extra pair of hands’ helping carry bulky laundry or heavy vacuum cleaners up and down stairs. While some families have an immediate need for their lift, others, like Mr. & Mrs. Simpson in the West Country, are busy futureproo­fing their homes. Mr. Simpson explained “We briefly considered a stairlift for our contempora­ry coastal home, but they take up lots of space and are a bit of an eyesore, so we chose a Stiltz Home Lift. It is hidden behind a hallway door and travels up to the landing perfectly.”

Other Stiltz Lifts customers choose to proudly display their lift instead of hiding it away. Some even coordinate it with their interiors; especially period or character home owners. Mr. & Mrs. Randall are one such couple. Living in a traditiona­l stone-built

Cotswold home with a beautiful sitting room decorated in soft, warm pink tones; they commission­ed a lift in a bespoke coordinati­ng pink shade. Mrs. Randall

is a fan; “The lift blends into the décor quite magnificen­tly. You wouldn’t even know it was there, it’s so unobtrusiv­e. You can’t really see it and all I do is step into the lift, push a button and I’m upstairs.”

So, if you’re faced with an “Upstairs, Downstairs” dilemma and dread downsizing with expensive stamp duty fees, or cluttering up your stairs with a cumbersome stairlift, you now have a neat and fast way-to-the-top solution.
