Description

Make a lasting first impression with our Oak Bullnose Step - a premium made-to-order feature step crafted from real, solid oak. With its distinctive curved nosing that sweeps beyond the width of the flight, the bullnose step widens the base of your staircase and creates a stunning focal point the moment you step into the hallway.

Each step is manufactured to order, and we can produce bespoke sizes to suit your exact requirements - simply contact our team with your measurements. A clear lacquer finish is available at an additional cost and comes with a non-slip surface for added safety underfoot. If you prefer to paint or stain to match your existing décor, the unfinished option gives you complete freedom over the final look.

For a fully cohesive oak balustrade, pair your bullnose step with our solid oak newel posts - the structural foundation of any staircase - which are available in square, stop chamfered, kerf and sphinx styles to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Complete the balustrade by adding a set of Oak Spindles between the newel posts and baserail, and finish with one of our Stair Handrails, available in a range of lengths and profiles including grooved options for spindle or glass panel installations.

How to install a bullnose step?

Installing a bullnose step from Stair Crazy is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and tradesmen alike. Simply follow these simple steps:

  • Prepare the staircase and substrate - Ensure your floor and stringers are clean, perfectly flat and solid to prevent unevenness, cracking and squeaking when using the stairs.
  • Apply adhesive - Across the stair frame where the bullnose step will sit, apply a generous amount of construction adhesive. Then, place the step into it and secure the tread using wood screws.
  • Caulk along any edges for a professional finish.
What are the benefits of using bullnose steps?
  • Enhanced safety - As bullnose steps have a rounded edge, which helps to prevent tripping and makes impacts softer, unlike 90-degree corners.
  • Durability - Curved steps are less prone to chipping and cracking under pressure, meaning bullnose steps take the brunt of foot traffic on the stairs.
  • Comfort - This design is far more comfortable to step on while barefoot, and provides a neat transition between floors and steps.
  • Aesthetics - Thanks to their rounded profile, bullnose steps offer a stunning, sleek finish that exudes luxury.
How to maintain a bullnose step?

Maintaining and cleaning a bullnose step from Stair Crazy is simple and easy. All you need to do is dust the step with a microfiber cloth every week, and wipe with a damp cloth and wood cleaner when needed. You can also help to protect your step by removing your shoes before heading up your stairs to prevent scuffs and wear.

What is a bullnose step?

A bullnose step is the bottom step of your staircase, with a curved nosing that extends beyond the width of the flight. Unlike a standard tread, the rounded profile softens the edge of the step and widens the base of the stairs. 

Our bullnose step is made from real solid oak, meaning it’s durable enough to withstand heavy foot traffic and looks great for years to come.

How are bullnose steps used in staircases?

A bullnose step sits at the base of the flight where the staircase meets the hallway floor, making it the most visible step in the house and the one visitors notice first.

This part has more impact on the overall look of the hallway than any other step, as it gives the base of your staircase a more finished look than a standard tread.
