What happens in this clip
Begin by roughly placing the carpet landing piece in its designated area. The critical first step is to carefully line up the front edge of the carpet landing with the previously installed carpet stair treads. The landing carpet comes with a pre-molded bullnose edge; ensure this edge is correctly wrapped over the front of the landing, creating a tight and seamless transition with the stairs below.
Goal: Position the carpet landing piece, ensuring its front edge aligns perfectly with the existing stair treads and the pre-molded bullnose wraps tightly over the landing's edge.

What's said in this clip
Okay. So, now we have measured for the landing. We have installed our treads. And now we're going to install our landing. And I have already unboxed it and just kind of roughed it in here. And some key points that you need to know. Just line up this edge to your carpet stair treads. Okay? and do the same thing behind me over here with this edge. Make sure I'll lift this up and show you. This is the bullnose edge that's premolded. Just wrap it over the front and make sure that it's on there nice and tight.
