Yes, there are specific stairlifts for narrow stairs. So before you decide to move home, or move your bedroom downstairs to accommodate your mobility needs, take a look at this.
With a particularly narrow staircase, it can be difficult to imagine putting in a stairlift. This is especially true if you have many twists and turns on your staircase. But fear not! Our engineers can install stairlifts in the most narrow and awkward staircases! Take a look at this one, for example:
Stairlifts For Narrow Stairs – Thyssen Flow
The Thyssen range offer one of the best solutions for narrow and awkward staircases. Unlike the standard stairlift, where the chair is outwards facing and static, the Thyssen range (flow A or X) can turn and rotate, allowing you more leg room and to elevate the stairs backwards even if required.
The stairlift arms fold inwards, giving you a comfortable wrap around feel, and allowing even more room with a tight or awkward staircase. (see above). See also Thyssen Flow X stairlift.
Standing Stairlifts For Narrow Stairs – Standing/Perching Stairlifts
Standing or perching stairlifts are another option for a particularly narrow staircase. But they are only suitable for those who are happy to stand or perch while ascending the stairs.
If you’re not happy doing this, or if your mobility is likely to change in the future, it’s worth planning ahead and getting a lift which allows you to sit.
So while a standing or perching stairlift might offer more room to accommodate a narrow staircase, your needs are the most important aspect of your purchase. A sitting stairlift might be suitable, even with a narrow staircase.
