Step 5 · Secure Edges and Corners

Go over all installed traction strips or treads, paying close attention to the edges and corners. Use firm pressure with your hands, a roller, or the edge of a tool to press down any areas that may be lifting. This step is critical for preventing the material from peeling up over time and creating a tripping hazard. If any corners consistently lift, a small amount of appropriate adhesive might be considered, following manufacturer guidelines.
