Step 3 · Cut Carpet Treads to Size
Using the measurements taken in Step 1, mark the carpet material. Lay the carpet flat and use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors to cut each piece to the exact width and depth required for each stair. If the carpet has a backing, ensure it is also cut cleanly. Accuracy here is key for a professional look and secure fit.
