Step 4 · The Details Matter: Record, Label, and Double-Check for a Custom Fit
As you complete the width and depth measurements for each step, it's time to meticulously record these dimensions (width × depth) in your notebook. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect, custom-made to fit result! If you discover that some steps have slightly different dimensions – which is quite common, especially in charming older homes – be sure to number each unique step clearly. For custom carpet stair treads, taking a photograph of each individual step, particularly those with varying measurements, is highly recommended to ensure absolute accuracy. To guarantee peace of mind and avoid any frustration, always double-check all your measurements before recording them. As we always say, 'Measure twice; write it down once!'
Older staircases often vary step to step. Number and photograph each one that differs, and measure twice before you write it down — it saves a costly re-order.
