Make Big Steps Manageable
High doorsteps are hard to navigate. A half step splits the height. Two small steps instead of one big one.
💡 Pro tip: Add a grab rail beside the half step for extra security. Two points of contact is always safer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a half step?
An intermediate step that sits between floor levels - typically at doorways. Reduces the height you need to step up, making entry and exit easier for those with mobility issues.
Where do half steps go?
Usually at front or back doors where there's a big step down to the garden or path. Also useful at internal level changes between rooms.
Are they stable?
Yes - properly fitted half steps are solid and secure. We ensure they're level, stable, and have non-slip surfaces.
Can they be removed later?
Freestanding half steps can be moved. Fitted versions may leave marks but most can be removed if no longer needed.
