The Invention Of The Curved Stairlift

The original stairlift was invented in the 1920s by a Mr Crispin. The inventor had created the stairlift to help his friend ascend and descend his staircase with ease and in comfort, as he was a sufferer of polio and found it incredibly difficult to use his stairs in any way. The invention sparked the Inclinator Company Of America, which quickly became the place to go to buy a stairlift, mostly for those who were suffering from polio as well.
Curved stairlifts were designed for more unique staircases in people's homes and businesses. Care homes for example, may be converted from large buildings which have curved staircases. As a result, the care home would need a curved stairlift to help guests in need of assistance from a stairlift ascend and descend their staircases. Without a stairlift a care home would be stuck when their guests need to use the stairs, and other methods would have to be employed, methods which might not be strictly safe.
Some people have curved staircases in their homes, and it is them who need to have a curved stairlift in their home. Straight stairlifts can be used as a stairlift solution to a curved staircase, but they don't work nearly as smoothly. Two straight stairlifts are often placed to go up to the curve in a staircase, with the second going from there. To move from one to the other people would use a transfer platform across their stairs, making a larger surface to walk on. Sadly though this is no option for someone who cannot walk at all, and in many cases people end up having to spend more or go without.
There are loads of different benefit grants for those in need to assistive technology in their homes such as stairlifts or hand rails, but this is often not enough to cover the cost of altering a home to accommodate someone's affliction. The best option for those in need of a curved stairlift is to rent a curved stairlift from a supplier. This option is only available from a few suppliers based around the world, but the ones that do exist will supply to anywhere in their country. By renting a stairlift, people are entitled to a lifetime warranty, as the company will get their product back at the end of the contract, and the cost of the product will be a low monthly fee, which is always easier to manage than purchasing a stairlift outright.

As a man with an invested interest in stairlifts thanks to his family, Luke J Matthews knows a lot about all kinds of stairlifts, including curved stairlifts which help people move around care homes in comfort, which is why he spreads his knowledge in his articles.
