Step 5 · Secure Edges and Trim (if necessary)

Inspect the edges of each installed carpet tread to make sure they are firmly adhered to the concrete. If any edges are lifting, apply a small amount of additional adhesive underneath and press them down firmly. If there is any slight overhang or unevenness at the edges, carefully trim it with the utility knife to create a clean, finished appearance that follows the contour of the step.
