Step 5 · Install Anti-Slip Tape (Optional)

For added safety, especially in high-traffic areas or if the treads are prone to being slippery, apply anti-slip tape. Cut strips of anti-slip tape to the width of each stair tread, or as desired. Peel off the backing of the tape and carefully apply it to the front edge of the tread, ensuring it adheres firmly. Press down firmly along the entire length of the tape to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure a strong bond. Make sure the tape extends to the edges of the tread for maximum coverage.
