Installation Procedures
Before You Begin: Remove any carpet, staples, etc. from your stairs and ensure the treads are clean, flat and dry.
- Starting at the bottom step, carefully measure width and depth of the step. Cut (print side up) the stair tread to size and dry-fit to ensure a proper fit. Measure and cut each stair and stair tread separately as they may be different. Use painter’s tape on the cut line before cutting to prevent chatter at the cut edge of your tread.
- Apply a 1/4″ bead of PVC trim construction adhesive about 1″ from the edges and in a serpentine pattern with approximately 1.5″ of space between each line. Add a generous amount of adhesive into the bullnose as well.
- Starting at the bottom step, carefully position the stair tread on the step approximately 1″ from the riser and slide into place. Apply firm pressure to tread surface and follow the adhesive manufacturers’ application guidelines. Remove any excess adhesive immediately! Secure the stair tread along the back edge (riser edge) with finishing nails placed 1/2″ from riser and 10 – 12″ apart to prevent shifting while adhesive cures. Allow sufficient dry time (as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer) before using your steps.
If your existing tread has a square end (no bullnose) make sure the tread is flush as shown below.
The round nosing is designed to be installed with “relief” at the edge as shown below.
