Curved Stairlifts
Installing a new curved stairlift typically takes longer than a straight stairlift due to the customisation involved. The process begins with a detailed technical survey, often using specialist camera equipment and advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. The results are used to fabricate custom curved sections of the stairlift track, which are then powder-coated to a standard finish and colour, typically off-white or cream. Some manufacturers offer colour customisation at an additional charge if you know the specific RAL code.
Curved stairlifts provide more flexibility regarding where the stairlift starts and stops. The track can wrap around newel posts or continue up onto the top landing, moving the user away from the stairs—an ideal solution if you prefer not to use a swivel seat at the top of the stairs.

In recent years, the price of new curved stairlifts has become more affordable due to advancements in manufacturing and robotics, significantly reducing the build process of the stairlift track. These improvements have also considerably reduced the lead time to installation, making curved stairlifts a more attractive solution compared to installing two straight stairlifts, which is sometimes suggested for certain applications where speed of installation is vital.
