Climbing the stairs can become a real constraint for the elderly, or even a completely impossible operation. Equipping yourself with a stairlift is an advantageous solution that will allow you to gain autonomy in your movements and which can save you from having to limit your access to your home or to move for practical reasons.
Because all homes are different and especially because your needs are unique, there are several types of stairlifts. Each, however, works thanks to a discreet rail system placed along the rise; the person sits on the seat and lets himself be guided effortlessly from top to bottom and from bottom to top of the steps in order to evolve in complete autonomy and without danger.
This classic model is the most economical and the easiest to install. It allows you to climb a straight staircase, as the name suggests, by sitting on an articulated seat for the ascent and descent. Count 2,500 to 5,000 euros for this type of model.
More sophisticated, this type of stairlift is installed on non-straight stairs or on stairs with reduced access. You thus gain space on the two levels of this one. The seat goes up thanks to a rotating rail. This type of stairlift will cost you between 4,000 and 10,000 euros on average.
To climb the few steps that allow you to access your home, you can opt for an outdoor stairlift. More solid and resistant to withstand the vagaries of the weather, it will cost you between 5,000 and 12,000 euros.

Equipped with the appropriate equipment and tools, the professional will be able to carry out all the work necessary to install the stairlift for a clean, neat and discreet result.
To the price of the stairlift, add a supplement of 1,000 to 3,000 euros for installation by a professional. This price varies according to the model of stairlift chosen, the access conditions, the work to be carried out and the prices charged by the installer.
