Stairlifts vs Through Floor Lifts | Which Home Lift is Right for You?

The Wessex VE Through-Floor Enclosed Home Lift

When it comes to improving accessibility in your home, two of the most common solutions are stairlifts and through floor lifts. While both provide safe and practical mobility, they are designed for very different users. Choosing the right option depends on your mobility needs, your home layout, and your long-term independence.

Stairlifts: Who Are They For?

A stairlift is one of the most familiar types of home lift. It runs on a rail attached to your staircase and carries you up and down in a seated position.

Stairlifts are suitable for people who:

  • Can walk on flat ground but find stairs challenging
  • Have enough leg movement to sit and stand safely
  • Do not rely entirely on a wheelchair

While some wheelchair users attempt transfers, stairlifts are not designed for this purpose. They require significant upper body strength, and manufacturers generally advise against wheelchair-to-stairlift transfers, as they can present safety risks.

Installation: Stairlifts are usually quick to fit. Most are installed within 2 to 6 hours.

Pros

  • Fast installation
  • Fits neatly onto the staircase
  • Does not require additional house space
  • Safe, quiet, and easy to use

Cons

  • Not suitable for wheelchair users
  • Slightly reduces staircase width

Through Floor Lifts: Designed With Wheelchair Users in Mind

Through floor lifts offer a safe and practical option for wheelchair users. Instead of navigating a staircase, the user stays in their wheelchair and travels vertically between floors. This eliminates the risks involved with transfers and ensures full independence.

Key features include:

  • Travel from ground to first floor without leaving your wheelchair
  • Fold-down seat option for users who prefer to walk into the lift and sit
  • Quiet, smooth operation with unobtrusive design

Installation: Through floor lifts are more complex to install than stairlifts. They require a cut-out in your floor and take around 2 to 3 days to complete.

Pros

  • Provides independence for wheelchair users
  • Does not restrict or alter the staircase
  • Safe, reliable, and user-friendly

Cons

  • Longer installation (2–3 days)
  • Requires dedicated space at both levels of the home

Which Option Is Right for You?

Both stairlifts and through floor lifts are excellent when used for their intended purpose. If you can still walk but have difficulty climbing stairs, a stairlift is a simple, cost-effective choice. For wheelchair users who want safe, independent access to all levels of their home, a through floor lift is the ideal solution.

It is always best to consult with an Occupational Therapist before choosing. They can help assess your individual needs and ensure you select the most suitable, safe, and future-proof option for your home.
