Step 3 · Secure Treads with Screws (Optional)

This step is optional but recommended for maximum stability. After the anti-slip treads are in place (or if you are only using this method), position the stair tread. Locate the ideal screw points, ensuring they do not interfere with the anti-slip material if used. Predrill pilot holes through the tread and into the underlying stringer or support. Use appropriate screws (e.g., wood screws) to firmly attach the tread. Be careful not to overtighten, which could strip the wood or crack the tread.
