About the full video

This project demonstrates the quick and easy installation of self-adhesive stair treads onto wooden stairs. The process involves preparing each tread by peeling off its protective film, then carefully positioning and pressing it onto the stair. The result is an instant aesthetic upgrade and improved safety for the staircase.

Step 1 of 2: Step 1: Reveal the Adhesive Backing

This crucial first step is part of our signature 'Clean, Peel, and Stick' installation method. Carefully peel the clear plastic liner completely off the back of each carpet stair tread. This exposes the advanced, pressure-sensitive adhesive that will create a strong, secure bond with your staircase while protecting your beautiful wood underneath. It's designed for simple, lasting adhesion without any damage.
