Reaching the Rest of Your Home
Many disabled people build their independence from the ground floor up—mobility scooters for outdoor travel, grab rails for safe bathroom use, wheelchair trays for practical day-to-day tasks. But in homes with stairs, that upper floor—where bedrooms, bathrooms, and family spaces often live—can still be out of reach.
That’s where stairlifts make a difference. They remove one of the last physical barriers that standard mobility aids don’t touch. Whether it’s fatigue, balance, breathing issues, or joint pain that makes stairs difficult, stairlifts offer an energy-saving, fall-preventing solution that opens up the whole home.
Designed for Real Homes, Not Showrooms
Irish Stairlifts has been tackling this problem for over 25 years. Their focus isn’t just on selling a product—it’s about making the whole home accessible again, with as little disruption as possible. Every solution is fitted to your stairs, not your walls, protecting your space while expanding your access.
What They Offer
- Straight stairlifts – Best for direct staircases. Quick to install (usually under 2 hours). Trusted models include the Access BDD HomeGlide and Bruno Elite.
- Curved stairlifts – Custom-built for stairs with landings or turns. Options like the Access BDD Flow X or the Ultimate Curved Stairlift take a little longer to arrive (3–5 weeks) but are tailored to fit complex layouts.
- Other access tools – They also supply mobility scooters (from €1,695), powered wheelchairs (from €399), and through-floor lifts for multilevel access.
This creates a full-home system—each part doing its job, none duplicating the others.
What Irish Families Say
Customers often describe more than convenience—they describe relief. One couple in Dublin 4 highlighted the “efficiency and professionalism” of the service, while a family in County Wicklow called it “life-changing” after a complete bathroom and stairlift installation.
For many, this isn’t about staying independent in theory. It’s about getting back upstairs to sleep in their own bed. About using their own bathroom. About not being forced to live downstairs because there’s no safe way up.
Quick Installs, Long-Term Use
A standard straight stairlift takes just one to two hours to install. Even more complex curved systems usually only need four to five hours. All models are secured to the stairs, not walls, meaning no major building work is required.
After installation, everything’s covered: a full demonstration, printed user manual, waste removal, and maintenance support to keep things working reliably long-term.
Help with Grants
Accessibility should never be out of reach due to cost. Irish Stairlifts helps eligible customers apply for home improvement grants to reduce financial pressure. This is particularly helpful for older people or disabled people on fixed incomes, who need access without delays or red tape.
Independence That Helps Everyone
Installing a stairlift doesn’t just benefit the user—it supports the whole household. Family members no longer have to worry about someone they love struggling with stairs. It reduces anxiety, prevents injury, and puts decision-making power back in the hands of the person using the lift.
It’s not about being stuck downstairs or dependent on help. It’s about choosing when and where you move through your home—without compromise.
Your Home, Fully Accessible
Mobility scooters let you reach your local area. Grab rails make bathing safe again. A good wheelchair tray means working, reading, or eating on your lap is simple. But stairs? Without a stairlift, they can turn half your home into an obstacle course.
Irish Stairlifts brings that final piece. It’s the difference between making a home work temporarily and making it truly yours again.
