Straight Stairlifts are the simplest and most affordable type of stair lift. They are designed to fit on straight staircases and offer a wide variety of options and optional extras to suit your lifestyle, home décor, and budget.

This means that the straight stair lift installation process can be much quicker. Once the staircase survey is complete, straight stair lifts can be installed within a few days compared to a few weeks for a curved rail stairlift.
