The stairlift is a motorized device designed to improve the comfort and safety of mobility-impaired individuals. It allows seniors or people with disabilities to move easily between the floors of their home without physical effort. While this device represents an ideal solution for preserving daily autonomy, its installation constitutes a significant investment.
The cost of a stairlift depends on several criteria: the type of staircase, the configuration of your home, and the options chosen. Avenir Rénovations Belgium presents here the price ranges generally observed for the installation of a stairlift in a Belgian house.
The straight stairlift is designed for straight staircases, without landings or turns. This device consists of an aluminum rail and a motorized seat that moves along a straight line, ensuring a smooth ascent and descent. Due to its quick installation and standard design, it is the most economical solution on the market.
If your staircase has a minimum width of 65 cm, the straight stairlift will be perfectly suitable. Its cost, including supply and installation, ranges between €2,500 and €5,200, excluding any available aids or subsidies in Belgium (such as regional grants for home adaptation).
The curved stairlift, or curved model, is designed for stairs with one or more turns, intermediate landings, or changes in slope. Very common in Belgian homes, it adapts to complex architectures thanks to a custom rail, made to perfectly fit the shape of your staircase.
Its custom design makes this type of installation more expensive than a straight model. On average, the price of a curved stairlift is between €6,000 and €12,000, including installation. The final amount will depend on the layout of your staircase, the number of turns, and the added features (automatic pivot, motorized footrest, premium upholstery, etc.).
Several aid schemes and grants are established in Belgium to support elderly or mobility-impaired individuals who wish to equip their homes with a stairlift. These aids aim to facilitate movement within the home while promoting autonomy and staying at home.
The outdoor stairlift is designed for people with reduced mobility who need to navigate steps to access their garden, terrace, front door, or driveway. The choice of model depends on the precise configuration of the existing staircase. While most devices are designed for straight stairs, there are also versions adapted for accesses with turns or curves.
Due to its weather-resistant design and advanced technology, the price of an outdoor stairlift remains relatively high. In Belgium, you should budget between €4,000 and €15,000 (installation included). At Avenir Rénovations, we provide a custom estimate based on the specifics of your outdoor fit-out, the length of your staircase, and the comfort or safety options you wish to add.

The standing stairlift, also known as a vertical lifting platform, is an ideal solution for people who have difficulty bending their knees or sitting down. This equipment allows users to ascend and descend stairs in a nearly vertical position, while maintaining a stable and secure support.
Recent models offer improved ergonomics: the seat is heavily inclined, allowing the user to remain standing throughout the movement, with excellent support for added comfort. These platforms can be installed on straight, curved, or spiral stairs. In Belgium, the price of a standing stairlift ranges from €3,000 to €6,500, excluding any potential regional financial assistance.
Each stairlift has different technical and aesthetic characteristics, which explains the variety of prices observed in the market. Some models are equipped with simple seats, while others feature ergonomic, rotating, or heated seats for superior comfort. The seat covering (fabric, leather, or plastic), retractable armrests, and adjustable footrests also influence the overall price.
The cost can also increase with the addition of smart options such as automatic battery charging, integrated LED lighting, or obstacle detection systems ensuring safe use.
