Position and Adhere Treads

What happens in this clip

Once the adhesive is exposed, the carpet stair tread is carefully positioned onto a stair. A tape measure is then used to quickly double-check the placement, likely for centering or consistent spacing from the edge. After confirming the position, the tread is pressed down firmly with hands to ensure secure adhesion and smoothed out to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles. This process is repeated for all stairs.

Goal: Securely attach stair treads to each step.

About the full video

This project demonstrates how to quickly and easily install self-adhesive carpet stair treads on outdoor stairs. The primary motivation is to provide a safer, less slippery surface for an aging dog, but it also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the stairs. The process involves simply peeling the backing and pressing the treads into place, requiring no power tools and minimal time.

Step 2 of 2: Secure Your Tread: Press Firmly into Place

Once your tread is perfectly aligned with your pre-planned placement on the step or landing, apply firm, even pressure across its entire surface. This ensures that our non-damaging, pressure-sensitive adhesive forms a secure bond, providing the safety and stability you expect from Oak Valley Designs. This innovative adhesive is designed to be completely safe for all surfaces, offering peace of mind knowing you can easily remove or reposition your treads without any damage or residue, truly embodying 'no nails, no glue, no stress'.
