Step 1 · Prepare Your Stairs for a Perfect Fit

A great installation starts with a clean slate. Dust, dirt, or even a little grease can prevent our special adhesive from creating a secure bond, leading to shifting or lifting. Use a vacuum or cloth to wipe each step clean, and let it dry completely—even a hint of moisture can weaken the grip. For any rough spots, a light sanding will do the trick. A crucial safety tip: never apply treads to freshly painted or varnished stairs; allow the finish to cure fully first for a bond you can trust.
