details. DO NOT allow the riser to extend above the steps nosing, as this will allow the stair
tread’s nose to extend beyond the nose of the step resulting in cracking of the tread nose. DO
NOT install non-cleaned stair treads, stringers or risers with Quik-Stik Adhesive Tape since an
installation failure will result. For stair treads, risers and ROPECC Epoxy Caulking Compound
installation instructions, warning and cautions, refer to section 6.4.1.
6.4.5 ADA Installation Instructions
For ADA, Federal, State or Local Guidelines specified installations requiring the stair tread
nosing and risers to be scribed (non-overlapping stair tread nosing over risers); first follow all
installation guidelines, instructions and cautions noted within this document. Starting with the
first riser on the flight of steps, first trim both the stair tread and riser and position the nose
directly over the riser. Then carefully scribe a line on the riser using the stair nosing as a guide.
Once scribed, trim the riser so it butts directly against the stair treads nosing for a tight fit.
Continue scribing the stair treads nosing and risers for the remaining steps. Use the appropriate
adhesive and required ROPECC Caulking Compound only over recommended substrates listed
in this document. Roppe Colored Caulk is available in for a seamless appearance. If unsure the
desired requirement or appearance attempting is being achieved (overlap nosing/riser vs.
scribed fit), first check with the facility owner, general contractor, architect, state, federal and
local guidelines before proceeding. Follow all Federal, State and local guidelines before
proceeding with stair tread, riser, stringer or flooring installation.
