The inability to get around is one of the main reasons many
are unable to stay in their St. Paul home, but the good news is that this no
longer has to be an obstacle. Chair lifts can help those with mobility concerns
move between floors easily. A chair lift can be installed in any style home in
St Paul. It does not matter what kind of staircase the residence has, whether
it be straight or curved. There are many options to consider when choosing a St
Paul to provide maximum comfort for the user. Below are some of the basic
things you will want to take into consideration when beginning the process of
choosing a chair lift.
Rail Type
There are two primary types of rails that the chair can ride
on. One is called a straight rail and the other is a curved or custom rail. The
straight rail is designed for St. Paul homes with conventional staircases,
going straight up. Curved rails are for staircases with bends, curves, landings
or corners. All of this type of rail will have to be custom made. A chair lift
expert will measure your specifications and then create the rails.
Outdoor Options
When travel outside is necessary, it is important to look at
which chair lifts have an outdoor option. This option can provide access to
decks, patios, basements and more. These kinds of chair lifts are created to be
a little bit more durable. They can withstand the elements and ultraviolet
rays. A number of our chair lifts at TwinCity Stairlifts
have an outdoor option.
Dimensions
There a few dimensions you will want to figure out when you’re
going about purchasing a product from a St Paul chair lifts provider. First,
find out how much room you’ll want in between the arms to be able to sit
comfortably in your chair lift. You’ll also want to consider how far you want your
chair lift to sit away from the wall. Different brands of chair lifts have
different options when the chair is in the seat versus when it is folded up in
a resting position.
