Step 1 · Step 1: Precise Measurement for Your Landing

It's crucial to remember that your landing isn't a typical stair tread; it's a distinct, flat piece of carpet designed to create a seamless transition and bring warmth and elegance to your home. For a perfect, custom-made fit, meticulously measure its complete width and length as a single, rectangular platform. If your landing features turns or angles, we recommend thoughtfully dividing it into smaller, manageable sections. Measure each section individually, paying close attention to every corner and curve to capture all dimensions precisely. This meticulous approach ensures your custom landing piece will fit beautifully and safely. For peace of mind and optimal functionality, confirm that your measured landing width is at least as wide as your stairway and that its depth in the direction of travel is a minimum of 36 inches. And, of course, for a stable and secure installation, ensure your landing surface is perfectly level.
