Step 5 of 8
Step 5 · Apply Your Construction Adhesive
Once you're happy with the dry fit, it's time for the final installation. Apply a generous bead of high-quality wood or construction adhesive along the top of the stair riser and the subfloor.

Use an adhesive specifically designed for flooring or stair applications for best results.
