What is a "curtail step"?
A curtail step is a type of step located at the bottom of a staircase that is wider than the other steps, often extending beyond the edge of the stair. This design creates a visually appealing entrance to the staircase and enhances the overall aesthetic of the space. The curtail step can also serve practical purposes by providing a stable area for people to step on when entering or exiting the staircase. Typically found in grand or formal staircases, curtail steps can be made from various materials, including wood or stone, and contribute to the elegance and style of the staircase design.
