Install Remaining Treads

What happens in this clip

Continue the installation process for the remaining stair treads, moving up the staircase. For each subsequent tread, use the same centering and spacing measurements established with the first tread to ensure uniformity. Peel the backing (if self-adhesive) or apply tape, and press each tread firmly into place. The video shows the installer placing the treads one by one, working their way up the stairs.

Goal: Install all remaining stair treads consistently

About the full video

This project demonstrates the quick and easy installation of pre-made, self-adhesive stair treads to add style, safety, and comfort to wooden stairs. The process involves preparing the stairs, accurately positioning each tread, and securing them in place, transforming a bare staircase into a finished look.

Step 5 of 5: Repeat for Remaining Treads

Move to the next stair tread and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4. Ensure consistent spacing and alignment between each carpet tread and the previous one. Continue this process until all stair treads have a carpet tread installed.
