Tools & Materials
Steps
Position and Secure Your New Tread
Place the hardwood tread onto the desired step or landing, taking a moment to ensure it aligns perfectly with your layout plan. This is key for a polished look, especially on unique winder stairs. Once positioned, apply consistent, firm pressure across the entire tread. This ensures the adhesive makes full contact, giving you the peace of mind of a secure, stable surface that's built for everyday life.
Add the Finishing Touch: Cove Molding
To elevate your staircase with that final, expert detail, measure and cut your cove molding to perfectly match the tread's profile. Securely attach the molding along the front edge. This not only conceals the raw edge of the tread but brings warmth and elegance to your home by creating a beautifully finished transition. Ensure it sits flush and is securely attached for a quality result.
