Step 5 · Secure the Tread from Center to Edge

Once your tread is in position, use your hands to apply firm, even pressure. Start in the center and smooth your way out to the edges. This technique pushes out any trapped air and ensures the entire tread, especially the corners, makes solid contact. This is key for a secure footing and preventing any lifting over time.

Oak Valley Info Pro Tip

Always work from the center outward to push out air bubbles, then press the edges firm.
