Step 2 · Apply the Tape to Each Tread

Using a quality double-sided carpet tape is essential for a lasting result. Measure and cut strips to fit the back of your carpet treads. It's critical to apply the tape firmly along all the edges and through the center of the tread's underside—these are the areas that handle the most stress from everyday life. Using plenty of tape without large gaps is the secret to preventing edges from lifting and ensuring long-term stability.
