About AccessBDD
AccessBDD is an internationally recognized stairlift manufacturer with over 40 years of experience designing and engineering mobility solutions for people with limited mobility. Headquartered in Stockton-on-Tees, United Kingdom, AccessBDD has earned a reputation for combining advanced engineering with thoughtful, elegant design — producing stairlifts that are as attractive in the home as they are reliable in daily use.
AccessBDD was recently awarded the prestigious Which? Recommended Provider designation — one of only a small number of stairlift brands worldwide to achieve this recognition. Their products are certified to the highest international safety standards, including Machine Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 81-40:2020, and are distributed through a carefully selected network of trained and certified local dealers across North America, Europe, and beyond.
The AccessBDD product lineup includes three distinct stairlift solutions: the HomeGlide for straight staircases, the HomeGlide Outdoor for exterior access, and the Flow X — a uniquely engineered curved and narrow stairlift featuring patented ASL (Advanced Swivel and Levelling) technology that makes it one of the most versatile stairlifts in the world.
