Steps
Peel the Protective Liner
1 minuteThis is the 'peel' part of our simple 'Clean, peel, and stick' process. Gently remove the entire plastic film from the back of the tread. This exposes the pressure-sensitive adhesive that provides a secure bond to your stair without damaging the beautiful wood underneath, giving you complete peace of mind.

2 minutesWith the adhesive exposed, carefully position the tread on the stair. We recommend leaving an even border of wood on all sides for a classic, professional look. Once you're happy with the placement, press down firmly across the entire tread, paying special attention to the edges. This activates the adhesive, creating a secure, non-slip surface where safety meets style. That's it—a beautiful, easy DIY stair remodel is that simple!
