IMPORTANT)INSTALLATION)PROCEDURES
Ascend'stair'treads'are'manufactured'from'a'unique'high'quality'LVT'material.'As'a'result,'the'
Stair'Treads'and'Nosings'are'a'much'firmer'material'and'behave'differently'than'rubber'treads.''
To'insure'a'beau@ful'installa@on,'be'sure'to'follow'these'cri@cal'steps.
1. Do'not'allow'your'Ascend'products'to'be'stored'or'placed'on'uneven'surfaces.'They'will'
become'distorted'and'difficult'to'install.'Should'this'happen,'place'them'on'a'flat'surface'
with'weight'on'them'to'straighten'them.'
2. Nose'angles'on'stair'pans'vary.'We'have'set'the'angle'of'Ascend'noses'to'a'nominal'90'
degrees.'If'you'have'a'different'angle,'you'can'adjust'the'tread'by'using'a'heat'gun'(such'
as'those'used'to'remove'wallpaper).'Simply'warm'the'nose'area'and'carefully'bend'the'
nose.'It'is'best'to'use'a'long'straight'edge,'to'keep'the'angle'uniform.
