Why Install a Home Lift?

Home lifts can be a great boost in value to a property, but it also works to vastly improve accessibility for users with disabilities or mobility issues, helping them to remain independent and to stay in their own homes. Users can avoid having to move home, for example to single-story properties, with a home lift because they can access all levels of a home efficiently and easily. In addition to mobility issues and the fact that many buildings have several floors, there are various reasons why a homeowner may be in need of a lift in their property.

Improved Safety

Those who are less mobile may find that using a lift rather than stairs is safer and easier, which is another advantage of lifts in the home, as climbing stairs can be dangerous when you have reduced mobility. Furthermore, a lift can be designed so that it is only accessible by specific people, adding an extra layer of security to a building.

Space-Saving Design

As home lifts can be customised and tailored to fit a property’s needs, users can choose a lift that matches the design of their home. With low pit options, lifts can also be installed in places where space is limited. Additionally, stairs can actually take up more space than a lift, so lifts are a better solution for many homeowners when it comes to working around the physical footprint of their home.

Practicality

Residential lifts can be a highly functional home solution, even when a user has no reduced mobility. Having home lifts minimises the need to climb steps on a daily basis, and people are no longer required to carry heavy loads up and down their stairs, which can be dangerous, tiresome, and time-consuming. The convenience and luxury associated with home lifts make them a popular choice for many homeowners looking to free themselves of regular chores and extra work in their daily lives.

Ease of Use and Simple Maintenance

A residential lift is easy to use, regardless of whether the resident is elderly or has health issues that limit their mobility. Lifts are easier to use since they only require a button press to work, while taking the stairs sometimes isn’t an option. Maintenance of a home lift requires little effort or time, so they can easily be kept in good condition, and the team at Sheridan Lifts can take care of any issues. These days, elevators are not only installed in commercial and industrial buildings, but they are also available to homeowners, and with a range of increasingly affordable options, many people are enjoying the benefits of having one installed on their property.

Give Your Home a USP

In the luxury housing market, in order to offer true value to potential buyers and create the best possible return on your investment, many homes will need a USP. For some homes, this might be an exclusive postcode, incredible view or expansive land, but for other properties their value comes from all of the amenities that they offer to prospective buyers. In these homes, amenities such as a home lift can make a huge statement and really raise the value of a property.

Yes, adding a lift to an existing home is something that can be done by our lift engineers, and is a very common job for our team. Most lifts that are installed into a home are platform lifts or step through lifts, as they don’t require a lift pit and the building work that comes with other kinds of passenger lifts, but this is something our team will be able to speak to you about to make sure you’re getting the right product for your home.

Again, the amount of space your home lift requires will be based on the kind of lift you choose and the space, weight and safety requirements you have. As a basic rule of thumb, passenger lifts tend to require at least 25 square feet (2-3 square metres) of space, while platform lifts require less space and can fit into most stairwell spaces!
