24 | Rail intrusion into the staircase
The standard distance between the wall and the front of the rail is 187mm.
This distance is applicable to stair stringers with a maximum width of 70mm.
The additional width of broader stair stringers needs to be added to the
distance between the rail and the wall.
Obstacles on the wall
The distance between the rail and the wall will be larger in the event of obstacles
at the height of the seat and the power unit. For example the stairlift may need
to moved away from the wall to avoid a clash with a window sill or a handrail
that has been left in situ to assist other users of the stairs.
A survey is required of all obstacles on the wall. In standard situations the rail
will need to be installed further from the wall if there are any obstacles less than
1800mm above the stairs.
