Living independently in your home, your style

By Sally - Silversurfer's Editor Jul 10, 2015

A home lift can have a tremendous impact on the quality of your life. Choosing carefully is key to ensure you and your family get the best value and stay safe with your lift.

For those who find that the stairs are becoming too much of a struggle, a domestic lift may provide a simple and relatively inexpensive alternative to expensive adaptations, or even unwanted relocation to another property. It will suit a home with any type of staircase and take less space than you might think, becoming the solution of choice for more and more people today.

Terry Lifts have recently launched the Lifestyle Lift that will add a touch of luxury to your home without breaking the bank. Since the Lifestyle Lift doesn’t require a shaft, it offers a space-saving and unobtrusive option. There are a range of finishes and features available so you can customise the lift to suit your home décor perfectly.

Key things to consider when buying a residential lift

When choosing a home lift, safety should be of paramount importance. As an ISO9001:2008 certified manufacturer and a member of the LEIA (Lift & Escalator Industry Association), Terry Lifts sees it as a priority to ensure the safety of all their products. All essential safety features come as a standard on the Lifestyle Lift, including a battery backup that allows the user to return to the ground floor even if there is a power cut. Pressure sensitive safety edges stop the lift gently if an obstruction is detected either above or below.

Fire safety is a key concern for many and not without a reason as there are 600 fire-related house deaths every year in the UK. The ceiling and floor in your house will almost certainly have an in-built fire rating of approximately half an hour. It is vital to select a lift that can provide the same fire integrity the house had before the aperture is cut – whether the lift is parked upstairs or downstairs. Some companies are not able to offer this, however Terry Lifts’ Lifestyle Lift has the required fire rating and has been tested and certificated by an independent Fire Research Centre.

Equipped with all these essential safety features, CE-mark and BS5900:2012 compliance, the Lifestyle Lift can offer you the ultimate peace of mind that you and your family will be safe with your home elevator – and can continue enjoying the independent lifestyle in the home and neighbourhood that you love.
