Curved Stairlifts in Southern California: Buyer's Guide

If your staircase turns, has a landing or wraps around a corner, a curved stairlift is the safe way to keep using every floor of your home. At Stairlift Masters we install curved stairlifts across Southern California, and this guide explains how they work and how to choose one.

What is a curved stairlift?

A curved stairlift is a motorized seat that rides on a rail custom-made for one staircase. Every turn, landing and change in pitch is measured, and the rail is built to follow it exactly, so the seat stays level the whole way.

Key features to look for

• Slim rail that sits close to the wall and leaves room on the stairs.

• Parking options that move the chair out of the way at the top or bottom.

• Powered swivel seat so the rider steps off onto the landing, away from the stairs.

• Battery power that keeps the lift running during an outage.

• Safety sensors that stop the chair if something is in the way.

• Local service after installation.

Curved stairlift models we install

We install the TK Access Flow X curved stairlift and the Infinity curved stairlift. For curved stairs outside the home, we install the Harmar Helix outdoor model.

How curved stairlift installation works

1. Free in-home assessment. We measure the staircase and review the rider's needs.

2. Custom rail manufacturing. The rail is built to your exact measurements.

3. Installation day. The rail mounts to the stair treads, not the wall.

4. Training. We show the rider and family how to use and charge the lift.

Curved stairlift vs. straight stairlift

A straight stairlift only fits stairs that run in one straight line with no landing. If your stairs turn or have a landing, even a small one, you need a curved stairlift. A free assessment confirms which one fits in a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Can a curved stairlift go around a landing? Yes. The rail is built to follow landings, turns and spiral sections.

Why does a curved stairlift take longer than a straight one? The rail is manufactured for your staircase after we measure it, so there is a wait before installation day.

Does a curved stairlift attach to the wall? No. It mounts to the stair treads, so your walls are not damaged.
