Step 5 · Install Treads

Position each tread onto its prepared riser, pressing down firmly to ensure good contact with the adhesive. For added security, drive screws up from underneath the riser structure into the underside of the tread, or from the top of the tread into the riser framing if accessible and desired for a hidden finish. Use at least two screws per tread, spaced appropriately. Ensure the tread is level and flush before the adhesive begins to set.
