Feature Steps

The small detail that makes the biggest impression.

It's often the smallest details that make the biggest difference to how a staircase feels, and feature steps are a good example. Curtail steps, where the bottom tread curves or scrolls outward beyond the line of the staircase, are a particularly popular choice for a grand entrance hall.

Available in any timber to match the rest of your staircase, a curtail step gives the bottom of a staircase a sense of occasion before you've even started climbing. It's a detail that costs relatively little in the context of a full staircase, but changes the first impression considerably.

A Small Upgrade, A Big First Impression

Feature steps are one of the easiest upgrades to add to almost any staircase style on this page, from a standard closed string through to a curved staircase. If you're not sure whether your design suits one, it's worth asking, most do.

A Grand First Step

A curtail step gives the base of a staircase real presence, before you've climbed a single tread.

Works With Almost Any Style

Feature steps can be added to most of our staircase styles, not just one specific form.

A Detail Worth the Cost

Relatively modest in the context of a full staircase, but considerable in the impression it makes.
