Step 4 · Peel, Place, and Work From the Top Down

It’s time for the magic of our 'Clean, peel, and stick' system! We always recommend starting at the top step and working your way down. This smart DIY strategy prevents you from stepping on your freshly installed treads. Carefully peel the protective film off the first tread, line it up with your mark, and set it in place. It's that simple—no nails, no glue, no stress.
