Step 5 · Install Anti-Slip Treads or Risers
Select anti-slip treads or riser covers that are sized appropriately for your stairs. Clean the existing oak treads thoroughly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for attachment, which may involve adhesive backing, screws, or clips. Ensure each tread or riser is securely fastened and lies flat against the oak surface. If using adhesive, ensure sufficient curing time before allowing foot traffic. For screw-down options, ensure screws are countersunk to avoid creating a tripping hazard.
