   Begin by accurately measuring the width and depth of each existing stair tread. For precision, especially if not using riser covers, use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the required dimensions on the new vinyl stair treads. A stair tread template tool, which helps measure both the width and angle of both sides of the tread simultaneously, is highly recommended for efficiency and accuracy.

2. 1:24–1:35 Apply Adhesive and Install Treads From How to Install Treads on Stairs with a Mid-Stair Landing, Step 6: Apply Adhesive and Fasten Treads

   Before installing, apply construction adhesive to the back of each new vinyl stair tread. The video shows using DAP Multi-Purpose Adhesive, applying a bead around the perimeter and in a wavy pattern in the center for good adhesion. Then, carefully align and place the new tread over the existing stair, ensuring a tight fit against the stringers and riser. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the tread into place and ensure it is fully seated. If necessary, a clamp can be used to slightly spread the stair stringers apart, making it easier to fit the tread without scraping.
