First, Measure Accurately

Size to China Stair Treads is the vital aspect. Before buying your stair treads, you need to measure the size accurately. After taking the time to ensure your measurements are accurate the first time around, you’ll have to decide whether you go with made-to-order treads or cut them yourself.

If you want to cut by yourself, you’ll need a large saw, preferably electric to ensure that the lines are straight. If you already have such a equipment, then you can cut by yourself to save some money.

Second, Prepare The Stairs

Once you’re ready to actually install the treads, you’ll need to prepare the stairs. You will have to remove whatever flooring was applied last, which will leave the lumber construction tread exposed. Then you’ll want the tread and riser to be flush so that the lumber tread isn’t hanging over the riser.

You can either add to the riser or remove it from the tread to achieve this. Just keep in mind that you’ll be bulking the stairs a bit by adding.

Third, Measure For the Third Time To Size/Cut Tread Accurately
Before adding the treads, even if you ordered them pre-cut for the job, make sure to measure each tread individually to the stair it will be placed on. It is really important to take your time and ensure that each is measured because it is very likely that there will be discrepancies. If you don’t cut them all at once, many unusable treads would be left.

Fourth, Adhere & Screw Tread To Stairs
Now that the treads are ready, the stairs are ready, and you are ready, it’s time to install the treads. When you’re ready to set the tread down, apply a generous amount of construction adhesive to the lumber tread.

After placing them and finding the points above the risers where your screws will go, drill thin holes before screwing the risers down to ensure that the wood won’t crack and split when the screws go through. You can also drill a hole for the head of the screw to fit in so that you can cover it with wood putty, filler, or a plug afterward to hide the screw. Then apply your flooring if need be, and congratulations, your work is over!
