The Acorn Stairlift FAQ of the Week
How Do I Prepare for My Stairlift Installation?
Acorn’s innovative stairlifts are always designed to fit your home—your home will never be modified to fit our stairlifts.
This is because an Acorn stairlift attaches directly to your stairs and never to the wall, so disruption to your home is minimised. There are no unsightly repairs needed that will compromise your home’s style or structure.
This means that getting your house ready for installation is as simple as clearing the staircase of any obstructions such as cabinetry, clutter, or objects hanging near the stairs' actual steps.
There is no need to remove wall décor or anything attached to a railing—As long as there are no impediments when our expert installation engineers come in, they are all good to get to work!
Acorn knows that mobility is something that no one should be stuck on the stairs waiting for.
This is why we take pride in our quick installation, even offering as fast as next-day installation for special situations.
Acorn is able to do this not just because of our attentive customer service and expert installation technicians, but also because of our groundbreaking, stairlift installation method known as FastTrack.
What Is FastTrack?
FastTrack is Acorn’s unique modular rail system that can be adapted to flawlessly fit and flow with the bends, curves, and lengths of almost any staircase—whether straight, curved, or outdoor.
Because this rail attaches directly to your staircase and never the wall, Acorn stairlift installation is quick and simple.
How Does FastTrack Work?
The system is built on a comprehensive inventory of differently shaped interlocking rail sections.
Our expert installation technicians will select the exact rail sections needed to fit your staircase, assembling and fitting a personalised FastTrack rail to your staircase in just a few hours.
Better yet, with this innovative system, no drilling or plastering is necessary.
This means that the stairlift installation process is stress and mess-free, and every stairlift is customised to fit flawlessly to your specific staircase.
You’ll never have to worry about making messy modifications to your home that compromise its style or structure.
Acorn stairlifts allow you to enjoy full access to the home you love, leaving it just the way you like it.
How Long Does It Take to Install a Stairlift?
Typically, an Acorn stairlift takes 1 to 2 hours to install, with more complex installations taking 4 to 5 hours.
The amount of time that it takes for your Acorn stairlift to be installed varies and is determined by the personal characteristics of the structure of your stairs and home. For example, it might take longer to install a curved stairlift than a straight stairlift.
Although stairlifts with more bends, twists, and curves may take a bit longer to install, here at Acorn, we are known for our quick, efficient, and unmatched service.
Acorn knows how valuable your time is, so we wouldn’t dare waste it.
No matter the staircase, installation will always be as fast as possible to get you and your lift up and running.
What Happens After Installation?
During the final step of the stairlift installation process, the on-site stairlift installer thoroughly checks all of the functions and features of the lift in order to guarantee you a smooth, perfect ride every time.
Acorn's stairlift installers will only leave your house once you feel confident with your new lift and familiar with how it works. From the first test drive, you will have first-hand experience of what it means to reclaim your life and reach new heights.
Not only is the installation process quick and simple, but another Acorn advantage that you’ll get with the installation of your new stairlift is that your home will be left just as clean as it was when we found it.
Thanks to our simple, quick, and minimally invasive stairlift installation method, there is little to no mess during the process.
However, Acorn’s installation technicians are polite house guests and always clean up after themselves, leaving your home just as clean as they found it—Plus the addition of your brand-new, gleaming Acorn stairlift, of course!
