A photoluminescent stair nosing is a stair-edge profile that combines visible step-edge definition with light-storing photoluminescent material. Ecoglo® luminous stair nosings also incorporate hard-wearing non-slip material to provide traction at the leading edge of the step.
A full stair nosing uses an aluminum profile that covers or integrates with the leading stair edge. A photoluminescent contrast strip is a lower-profile step-edge marking installed on the tread surface. The correct format depends on the stair construction, desired edge coverage and project specification.
Ecoglo® M4 Series tile nosings are designed specifically for tiled stair assemblies. The M4171.10 M4.10-E30 profile is intended for tile approximately 3/16 inch to 11/32 inch thick. M4.125 profiles are available for thicker tile approximately 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch.
The Ecoglo® C4171 C4-E20 is a photoluminescent carpet stair nosing specifically shaped for the leading edge of carpeted stairs. It combines protected luminous markings with a hard-wearing non-slip insert.
The S4071 S4-E30 is a photoluminescent cast-in-place stair nosing designed for installation directly into wet concrete. Cast-in-place profiles create a flush transition between the nosing and concrete stair surface.
Yes. Ecoglo® E-Series photoluminescent contrast strips provide a low-profile alternative to a full stair nosing. For example, the E4071 E40 Series is a 2-inch-wide luminous step-edge contrast strip combining photoluminescent marking with a black silicon-carbide non-slip surface.
Ecoglo® RF7B and RF7C Series resilient-flooring stair nosings are designed to integrate flush with resilient flooring, vinyl flooring and other thin floor finishes. RF7B uses a 90-degree profile while RF7C uses an 85-degree profile, with E30 and E40 luminous configurations available.
No electrical connection is required at the stair nosing. Photoluminescent material absorbs energy from suitable natural or artificial ambient light and releases that stored energy as visible light when surrounding illumination falls.
Many Ecoglo® photoluminescent stair-nosing and contrast-strip products are designed and tested for indoor and outdoor applications. Outdoor suitability, fastening method, adhesive selection and environmental exposure should always be confirmed for the exact model and project before installation.
No. Ecoglo® stair nosings and rigid contrast strips use manufactured aluminum-based profiles with integrated or protected photoluminescent and non-slip materials. Product construction, profile geometry and installation vary by series, so they should not be treated as equivalent to generic adhesive glow tape.
Ecoglo® manufactures different stair-nosing families for concrete, wood or timber, steel, checker plate, carpet, tile, resilient flooring, vinyl flooring and other suitable stair finishes. Select the product profile according to the actual stair construction and approved detail.
Yes. Photoluminescent step-edge markings can form part of a luminous egress path-marking system where required by the applicable building or fire code. Exact applicability depends on the building, jurisdiction, adopted code edition, project documents and exact product listing. Confirm the proposed system with the project designer and Authority Having Jurisdiction.
