Welcome back to our segment of Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week. This is the Acorn assurance that every customer deserves –answers to all of your most frequently asked questions –so that you never feel left in the dark again.
This week, we will delve into a common concern expressed by our customers about whether others in the household will have enough room to comfortably travel up and down the stairs as usual.
The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
Once my stairlift is installed, will there be enough room for other people to use the staircase?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions that we get at Acorn Stairlifts.
The answer is yes—There should be plenty of room for people to use the stairs, with the rail installation only requiring 20cm and the lift itself requiring about 33cm (upfolded).
Acorn Stairlifts beat our customers to the punch because this was a factor we had already considered when designing our collection of cutting-edge stairlift models.
From mess-free installation, to ease-of-use, to dimensions selected for our stairlift design, Acorn has taken every factor or concern into account so that each and every one of our customers will soar through the most simple, smooth-sailing, stress-free stairlift process possible.
Acorn Stairlift’s Slim Stairlift Design Is Subtle and Simple to Fold Away
Acorn’s innovative stair lifts are designed to fit your home—your home will never be modified to fit our stairlifts.
All of our stairlifts are specifically designed to blend seamlessly into your home.
We know that despite how amazing a product an Acorn stairlift is, the majority of people wouldn’t want it to be the show-stopping, main attraction in their homes.
This is why our Acorn stairlifts are designed to be slim and subtle, attaching directly to the stairs and never the wall—so that you will never have to worry about messy modifications that sacrifice the style or structure of your home.
Thanks to Acorn Stairlifts’ slim design, our stairlifts are collapsible when not in use. Whether you want to fold it away so that your guests can easily climb up and down the stairs with room to spare, or simply want it hidden for a more subtle appearance, our stairlifts can easily and conveniently be folded away, out of sight.
Above all else, our Acorn stairlifts are meant to help you soar above the obstacle of a staircase, not become an obstacle of a staircase.
We want the focus to always stay where it belongs—on friends and family, the true stars of any home.
Acorn Also Offers a Hinged Rail Option!
We are constantly looking for ways to improve, whether it concerns anything from manufacturing to servicing. This is why we make it a point to take all perspectives into account, striving to view our company, service, products, and features through the eyes of our customers, as well as their families and friends.
Acorn’s option of an additional hinged rail on any of our stairlifts is an embodiment of this practice.
What is a Hinged Rail, and How Does it Work?
A hinged rail is a short-hinged section at the foot of the rail, which can be manually or electrically folded up out of the way when the stairlift is not in use.
For everyone’s safety, all Acorn Stairlifts carriages are equipped with arms, seats, and footrests that fold up neatly out of the way when not in use.
This makes our stairlifts among the slimmest profile models on the market.
However, on top of these safety measures, Acorn’s offer of the additional feature of a hinged rail acts as prevention for a problem that could possibly arise in some homes—a problem that could really trip you up.
How a Hinged Rail Further Helps You Avoid a Tripping Hazard
As you might imagine, we’re all about avoiding dangerous falls at Acorn Stairlifts.
The only falling we accept here is all of the customers who have fallen in love with the independence, freedom, and mobility that our stairlifts grant you.
In some home layouts, the bottom section of a straight stairlift rail (at the foot of the stairs) might protrude into a walkway, transforming your safe, supportive stairlift into a tripping hazard.
To put a stop to this situation before it can ever happen, Acorn offers the option of a short-hinged section at the foot of the rail, which can be manually or electrically folded up out of the way when the stairlift is not in use.
This assures that, in addition to the stairlift user, all of the people filtering in and out of your house stay safe and fall-free with a clear, unobstructed passageway for walking.
