As mobility needs change over time, finding a solution that offers safety and convenience within your home can become a must...

Choosing the right stairlift

For many older and less able people, stairlifts provide the independence to get around their homes without the need to relocate. Among the available options, refurbished Stannah stairlifts offer a reliable and cost-effective alternative to new, ensuring quality without a compromise.


A practical overview to understanding stairlifts


Stairlifts are mechanical devices designed to help individuals with mobility issues ascend and descend stairs safely. Typically, they consist of a motorised chair or platform that runs along a rail, fitted to the staircase. These devices are particularly beneficial for elderly individuals or those with physical disabilities who find navigating stairs challenging or unsafe.


One of the primary considerations when selecting a stairlift is whether to choose a new model or a refurbished one. Refurbished stairlifts, especially those from reputable manufacturers like Stannah, provide excellent value. They are pre-owned units that have been thoroughly serviced, tested and restored to meet stringent safety and operational standards.


The advantages of choosing a refurbished Stannah stairlift


Opting for a refurbished Stannah stairlift comes with several key benefits:


  1. Cost-effectiveness: Refurbished stairlifts offer significant savings compared to brand-new models. This makes them an attractive option for budget-conscious customers without compromising on quality.
  2. Reliability and safety: Stannah is a name synonymous with quality and reliability in the stairlift industry. When refurbished, these stairlifts undergo rigorous checks to ensure they meet high safety standards, providing peace of mind to users and their families.
  3. Sustainability: Choosing a refurbished stairlift is also an environmentally friendly choice. By opting for a refurbished unit, you contribute to reducing waste and promoting sustainability by giving a second life to a well-crafted piece of equipment.
