Step 2 · 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.
