Two main components make up a stairlift – the ‘rail’ and the ‘carriage’. The stairlift rail runs the length of the stairs while the stairlift carriage is mounted to the rail and moves up and down it, carrying the passenger. The features of your stairs and their location determines what type of stairlift you need. The three main types are Straight, Curved and Outdoor Stairlifts.
Acorn’s own highly-trained technicians install the company’s stairlifts. In their expert hands, the process is quick and uncomplicated, and you won’t need to clean up or redecorate. Installation usually follows within a few days of your order, but can be NEXT DAY in very urgent cases.
