Straight vs. Curved Stair Lifts: Which Is Right for Your Home?

For many individuals with mobility challenges, stairs can turn a once-accessible home into a source of stress and danger. That’s where Elev8 Mobility comes in — offering reliable, professionally installed stair lifts that restore confidence and independence in your own space.

But before installation, there’s one big question: Do you need a straight or curved stair lift?

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

Straight Stair Lifts

Perfect for staircases with no turns or landings, straight stair lifts are:

• Cost-effective

• Quick to install — often within hours

• Ideal for most single-flight stairs

These lifts attach directly to the stair treads, not the wall, making them a non-invasive, reversible solution — great for homeowners and renters alike.

Curved Stair Lifts

If your staircase has curves, intermediate landings, or turns, a custom curved stair lift is the right choice.

• Tailored to fit your unique staircase

• Sleek and space-conscious design

• Offers smooth transitions around bends

While they do take a bit more time to fabricate, Elev8 Mobility ensures expert measurement and design for a perfect fit — every time.
