To ensure accurate and straight placement of the anti-slip treads, use masking tape to create a guideline. Place a strip of masking tape along the front edge of the stair tread. Next, measure the total width of the stair using a measuring tape. Divide this measurement in half to find the center point. Use a pencil to mark this center point directly onto the masking tape. Repeat for each stair.

Before applying the anti-slip stair tread, you need to prepare it for proper alignment. On the backing side of the anti-slip tread, either measure halfway across its width and place a mark using your pencil, or simply fold the tread in half temporarily to create a slight crease in the backing paper. This mark or crease will serve as the center guide for aligning the tread with the marked centerline on your stairs.

To begin applying the tread, first wash your hands thoroughly to remove any skin oils, which could affect the adhesive. Carefully peel back approximately 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of the backing paper from one end of the anti-slip tread. Create a fold in the peeled backing paper, being cautious not to touch the exposed adhesive. Line up the center mark or crease on the anti-slip tread with the pencil mark on the masking tape on the stair. Once aligned, carefully place down the peeled portion of the tread onto the stair. Using the provided roller, press down firmly on this initial section to secure it and begin removing any air bubbles.
