What is a stairlift and what is it for?

A stairlift is a motorised swivel seat that travels along a rail fixed to the staircase, letting you move between floors in complete safety. It is ideal for older people or people with reduced mobility who want to go on living in a multi-storey home. It is installed in just a few hours, with no building work and no drilling into walls.

How much does a stairlift cost in Catalonia?

The price of a stairlift depends on the type of staircase (straight or curved), the number of floors, the model chosen and the customisation options. This is why Farré Accessibilitat offers a technical study and a free, no-obligation quote. A technician will come to your home to take exact measurements and adapt the solution to your needs. We also offer tailor-made financing.

Are there any subsidies for stairlifts in Catalonia?

Yes, the Generalitat de Catalunya has aid programmes for accessibility improvements in housing, as part of the Universal Accessibility Plan. The amounts vary according to family situation, degree of disability and income level.

What is the difference between a stairlift and a platform lift?

The stairlift is an individual seat for a person with reduced mobility who can sit and stand up on their own. The platform stairlift is a larger surface designed to transport wheelchair users without the need for transfers. The choice depends on the type of mobility of the user and the staircase.

How long does a stairlift installation take?

Physical installation is usually completed in a single day, usually in one morning, for straight staircases. For curved staircases, the rail is made to measure after the technical visit, with an approximate lead time of 4-6 weeks until installation. In all cases, no work is carried out and the staircase is fully operational on the same day.
