Step 6 · Set Your New Tread in Place

Gently place the new bullnose tread onto the adhesive-coated stair. Align it precisely with your marks and any adjacent walls. Press down firmly and evenly across the entire surface to create a strong bond. You can use a rubber mallet to gently tap the tread into its final position, ensuring it's fully and securely seated.
