Before beginning the installation, ensure your work area and existing stairs are clean. Always start the installation process with the bottom stair and work your way up the staircase. Using a tape measure, carefully measure the overall width and height of each individual stair. Once measured, cut your 'Performance Accessory stair tread' to the correct depth, leaving an 1/8 inch space on the back side and a 1/16 inch gap on both sides of the tread. This precise cutting should be done for each individual stair to ensure a proper fit.
