Begin by accurately measuring the overall width of your existing stair tread. For the example, a 10-inch tread is used. Next, measure the distance from the center of the first step to the inside of the riser. This specific measurement will be needed if you intend to use the width of the riser for the strips to be installed later. These measurements are crucial for creating precise templates.
