Step 7 · Trim Excess Material
Once the treads are in place and the adhesive has begun to set, carefully inspect the edges. If there is any excess carpet material that extends beyond the stair tread, use a sharp utility knife or carpet shears to trim it neatly. Cut along the edge of the stair tread, ensuring a precise and clean line.
