One of the most important aspects of stairlift installation is the rail. Your staircase will need either a straight or a curved rail to install your stairlift. At Stannah, one of our consultants will come and visit you to give your staircase a comprehensive survey and assess which type of rail is suitable.
Although our stairlifts have been designed to work with most staircases, there are some occasions where installation of a stairlift will not be possible. If this is the case we will not sell you one – your safety comes before our sales figures.
Whether you have straight or curved stairs, our rails are attached to the stairtread, not the wall, and can be fitted to either side of the stairwell – depending on the results of the survey.
We have included some different examples of staircases below.
Straight staircases
The images above depict straight staircases. Our straight rail is made from aluminum and comes in either a silver or bronze finish.
