New Homeglide Stairlifts

New HomeGlide Stairlift

The New HomeGlide Stairlift offers a modern, comfortable and competitively priced solution for anyone finding a straight staircase increasingly difficult to manage. Manufactured by Access BDD, the HomeGlide has been developed around uncomplicated operation, a slim profile and everyday comfort, making it an excellent choice for improving mobility without making major changes to your home.

With a discreet aluminium rail fitted directly to the staircase, generous user weight capacity and easy-to-operate controls, the HomeGlide provides dependable assistance whenever you need to travel between floors.

A Modern Stairlift for Straight Stairs

The HomeGlide has been purpose-designed for straight staircases and combines a clean contemporary appearance with practical home accessibility.

Its narrow rail attaches to the stair treads rather than the wall. This keeps installation relatively straightforward and minimises disruption to surrounding decoration.

The streamlined design also means the stairlift does not need to dominate the staircase. When space is important, the HomeGlide can fit stairways as narrow as approximately 740mm, making it a useful option for many traditional UK homes.

Comfortable Travel With Simple Joystick Operation

Using your stairlift should never feel complicated.

An integrated soft-touch joystick controls the HomeGlide and requires very little physical effort to operate. Simply hold the control in the direction you wish to travel and the stairlift carries you smoothly along the rail.

This straightforward control system can be particularly helpful for people with reduced hand strength or dexterity who may find smaller buttons and complicated controls inconvenient.

A retractable seatbelt provides additional security during each journey. Its one-handed buckle has been designed for convenient fastening, while an integrated detection system ensures the belt is correctly secured before travel.

Strong Enough for a Wide Range of Users

The HomeGlide combines its compact appearance with an impressive maximum carrying capacity.

Depending on the staircase configuration, it can accommodate:

• Up to 160kg (25 stone) on staircases with an incline of up to 45°
• Up to 136kg (21 stone) on steeper staircases of up to 53°
• Up to 145kg (22 stone) when fitted with a powered hinge

This flexibility makes the HomeGlide suitable for a broad range of users while retaining its slim, space-conscious design.

Keeps Working During a Power Cut

The HomeGlide operates from rechargeable batteries rather than relying directly on household electricity while travelling.

This means a temporary power cut does not automatically leave you unable to use your stairs. The batteries continue powering the lift, providing valuable reassurance for anyone who depends on their stairlift for access between floors.

When parked appropriately, the batteries recharge ready for future journeys.

Make the Stairlift Work Around Your Hallway

The bottom of a staircase is sometimes positioned close to a doorway, corridor or entrance where leaving a permanent section of rail extended across the floor would be inconvenient.

An optional powered hinge rail solves this problem.

After the stairlift has been used, the lower part of the track can automatically fold away, helping keep the area at the foot of the stairs open and reducing potential obstruction.

This is especially useful in smaller hallways and properties where several access routes meet around the staircase.

Powered Footplate Option for Added Convenience

Bending down to raise or lower a stairlift footrest can be difficult if you have restricted movement.

A powered footplate is available as an optional extra, making preparation of the chair considerably easier. Instead of reaching towards floor level, the mechanism takes care of the movement for you.

For customers buying a stairlift because of limited flexibility, arthritis, joint problems or general mobility difficulties, small convenience features like this can make a substantial difference to everyday use.

Choose a Finish to Complement Your Home

Accessibility does not mean your staircase has to look clinical.

The HomeGlide is available with multiple seat colour choices, allowing the chair to sit more naturally alongside your existing interior. Rail colours can also be selected from standard finishes, with custom colour options available for customers who want the track to coordinate more closely with their staircase or décor.

This ability to personalise both the seating and rail helps create a stairlift installation that feels like part of the home rather than an afterthought.

Safety Designed Into Everyday Operation

A stairlift needs to inspire confidence every time it is used. The HomeGlide incorporates a number of safety-focused features into its everyday operation, including:

• Automatic stopping functionality
• Retractable seatbelt
• Seatbelt detection
• Armrest detection
• Emergency stop control
• Footrest
• Rack-and-pinion drive system
• Battery-powered operation

These features work alongside the straightforward controls to create a stairlift that is reassuring without becoming difficult to operate.

Regain Easier Access to the Whole of Your Home

When climbing the stairs becomes painful, tiring or unsafe, it can gradually change how you live. Upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms may become more difficult to reach, and repeated trips between floors can become something to avoid rather than a normal part of the day.

Installing a new straight stairlift can remove much of that physical challenge.

The HomeGlide allows you to remain seated while travelling between levels, helping preserve independent access to the rooms you use every day. For many people, this can make continuing to live comfortably in a familiar home considerably more practical.
