My staircase is quite narrow. Will an Acorn Stairlift fit?

If your Acorn Stairlift has been manufactured to the exact dimensions of your North East England home, it can take less than an hour!

Of course, they’ll leave everything as clean and tidy as you had it before.

Question 7

Will I need to redecorate after my Acorn Stairlift is installed?

The Acorn Stairlift is fitted to your staircase, not the wall, so there's a minimum of disruption to your North East England home, and no unsightly repairs to be made. Acorn Stairlifts' expert installers will install, test and demonstrate your stairlift, and leave your home just as tidy as they found it.

Question 8

What happens if there is a power outage, will I be stranded?

Accepted Answer

An Acorn Stairlift is battery powered and will continue to work even if you have a power cut at your North East England home. Acorn pioneered the use of DC (battery) power in stairlifts. When the Acorn 130 stairlift was designed, it was chosen due to the inherent advantages of safety and the ability to operate normally during a power failure. All of Acorn's stairlift competitors have followed this lead and now offer a battery powered product. Such are the advantages of this technology!
