Home lift solutions from The Platform Lift Company
T
he introduction of a home lift solution can create a life changing experience. Being able to access
different floors and areas of a home not only provides ease of living but enables families and friends to enjoy being together in the same space. It can also help future proof a property, as a home lift is a desirable feature which could appeal to those who are elderly or disabled.
When it comes to installing a home lift or access solution self-builders and homemakers now have a variety of options. These include through the floor lifts, steps which transform into a platform lift, and the ingenious cantilever which sits flush with the floor when not in use.
THROUGH THE FLOOR LIFTS Today’s home lifts are incredibly compact, so they can fit smaller spaces, for example The Platform Lift Company’s Italian Style platform lift is ideal for installation where there is a particularly narrow stairwell. Provided there is adequate room, the installation of a through floor residential platform lift can be achieved without major structural changes. Installation is typically completed within three days with minimal disruption to the property. The external facing doors can be any RAL colour to match a surrounding
décor which gives design flexibility and there is an option to have a glass shaft to give more feeling of space within a room.
STEPS WHICH TRANSFORM INTO A PLATFORM LIFT If you are trying to overcome steps or a difference in height between two spaces either inside or outside, then the FlexStep provides an ideal 2-in-1 solution. This clever product can be configured as a flight of stairs and transformed at the touch of a button into a platform lift. The FlexStep is available in different widths to accommodate tight spaces and step heights: the 6-step FlexStep model can travel up to 1250 mm. Customers can choose from a variety of materials and finishes to complement an existing interior or exterior design.
A PLATFORM LIFT WHICH RISES OUT FROM THE FLOOR
The Cantilever platform lift is mounted in a pit at the foot of the staircase, so when it is not in use it is flush with the surrounding floor. The obvious advantages are that it does not create an obstruction and can be discreetly blended into the decor of the room. By using a remote control or the wall mounted controls, the platform lift will rise out of the floor and over the steps. Again, with a touch of a button the lift

can be lowered back into the pit ready for next time. The beauty of this discrete but ingenious lift is that it can be finished to match an existing floor, so you would never even know is was there. The Platform Lift Company offers one of the biggest ranges of home lift solutions including cabin style residential lifts, platform lifts and stair risers. The company also has the capabilities to modify a platform lift to fit a desired space. Customers can also choose from a wide variety of materials and finishes to match a décor and create a desired look. Whether you are looking for precious wood, natural stone floor inlays, leather coatings and stainless-steel push buttons or even Swarovski elements for the ultimate luxury look – we can create your perfect bespoke home lift.
This design flexibility can also be coupled with new technology. The Platform Lift Company can interface your home lift with a multimedia in- house system. You can even create mood lighting in your lift with LED. Our latest Swedish Style Home Lift comes with an app called SmartLift which enables you to dim or brighten the light and set your own lighting schedules - how clever is that?
