Step 5 · Apply Adhesive
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your chosen carpet treads regarding adhesive application. Some treads come with self-adhesive backing, while others require a separate adhesive. If using a separate adhesive, apply a consistent, even layer to the back of the carpet tread or to the stair tread itself, ensuring full coverage without excessive pooling. Use a notched trowel for even spreading if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
