How to install stair treads rugs.

To do this start with the very bottom of the stairs and then secure it in through the tackless tape that you have at each step. Wrap the carpet around each post. Fasten the treads with carpet tacks if your stairs are already carpeted. If the stair is open on the side with railing posts the carpet must be cut around each post and re joined on the other side.

For a flat top installation mark a cut line on the rug pad inch from the front of the stair tread. Align the top edge of the rug pad against the back of the tread and use a yardstick to make sure it is straight. Next make a slit directly in line with each post to the edge of the carpet away from the stair. Specially formulated adhesive is safe for all surfaces and allows for a secure installation in just minutes.

Our treads come with a pressure sensitive adhesive that keeps the tread in place without damage. Insert three carpet tacks in the center of each stair tread and another tack in each corner making a total of seven tacks. Clean all of the stairs with a clean damp cloth. 2 once the surface is dry place the stair tread on the step with the back facing upwards.

Then use the top of the step as a guide to cut the double sided tape to size. The points on the strip should lean toward the riser. Center a tackless strip on the top stair tread 1 4 inch from the back edge of the tread where the tread meets the riser and nail it in place. All installed carpet stair treads can be easily removed or replaced as needed.

You can use an awl to push the carpet stair tread in.
