There are various reasons why you may consider a homelift, but one main reason is to provide a safe option for travelling between floors in your home when restricted mobility stops you from doing so.
It’s just one of many reasons why you should consider a Stiltz homelift to travel easily between floors in your home; and they’re a great alternative to more traditional stairlifts.
Who Are Stiltz?
Stiltz is an award-winning homelift manufacturer based in the UK. They design and manufacture high-quality domestic lifts for individuals who are less mobile and aren’t able to use the stairs. Their lifts are a cost-effective and much less time-consuming alternative to downsizing your home when stairs can no longer be used.
We’ve been proud partners of Stiltz for many years, allowing us to provide and install their lifts in homes across the UK. Our goal is to help our clients across the UK by providing cost-effective and reliable home lifts to maintain or regain their independence at home.
What are the Benefits of Having a Home Lift?
When mobility is an issue which restricts your access to travel between floors in your home, a Stiltz lift is a great solution, for many reasons.
Wheelchair and Walking Frame Friendly
Unlike stairlifts, a home lift allows you to travel between floors without having to leave your wheelchair or walking frame. Getting out of a wheelchair to transfer to a stairlift may be a straining task, which requires a lot of effort and isn’t sustainable for everyone. When using a domestic lift, this is no longer an issue as you can stay in your wheelchair, or use your walking frame, when moving between floors.
Energy Efficiency
It’s a common misconception that a residential lift will use a lot of electricity, resulting in a much higher energy bill every month. A Stiltz home lift plugs into a standard 13 amp socket, no different to plugging in your microwave or toaster. Each return from each floor will use between 2-3 amps. This means you can make four return trips upstairs for the same amount of energy as boiling the kettle. The Stiltz lift has one of the smallest carbon footprints for a residential lift in the UK.
Stay Home Rather than Downsize Home
The idea of downsizing your home to eliminate the issue of travelling between floors may not be an appealing option. Many people have lived in their homes for decades and are against the idea of relocating a home and location they’re comfortable with.
With the Stiltz residential lift, you can remain in the home you love while being able to travel between floors easily and comfortably. As well as making travel in your home easier, it also reduces a lot of stress and logistics involved in moving home and downsizing.
Different Stiltz Domestic Lifts Available
Stiltz offers four different choices of home lift. All options have separate benefits, aesthetics and price points. Our four models are the Duo Classic, Duo+, Trio Classic and Trio+.
Each model has their unique benefits, but both the Stiltz Trio models feature that little bit of extra space which can carry up to three people, a wheelchair or a walking frame. Every one of our homelifts comes with a range of features – such as internal LED downlights, a battery backup system and numerous safety features – and can be customised to suit your home decor.
Flexible and Fast Installation Around Your Home
Our Stiltz homelifts can be installed in various areas around your home. This can be from your living room going to the bedroom, the hallway to the landing or any other area you choose if it’s possible for installation.
At Multicare Homelifts we offer installation which takes less than a day. We offer a free, no-obligation home survey to talk you through the process, make the required measurements and help you decide on where your lift will be installed.
If you have any further questions or would like to book a home survey, don’t hesitate to contact us.
