Ecoglo® photoluminescent cast-in-place stair nosings combine passive luminous step-edge visibility with a durable anti-slip surface for new concrete stair construction.
Unlike surface-mounted retrofit nosings, cast-in-place profiles are incorporated directly into wet concrete during construction. This creates a clean transition between the concrete tread and stair-edge profile while providing a permanent, highly visible stair-edge solution.
Choose from the S10-E30, S10-E40, S2-E30, S2-E40, S3-G, S4-E30 and S4-E40 Series according to profile geometry, photoluminescent configuration and project requirements.
Ecoglo offers seven primary photoluminescent cast-in-place stair-nosing series for new concrete stair construction. E30 profiles generally use three photoluminescent strips, while E40 profiles increase the luminous area with five photoluminescent strips.
The wider S3-G profile provides another configuration for projects requiring a broader step-edge treatment. Select a series below to review available models, profile dimensions and product options.

Photoluminescent cast-in-place stair nosing is designed for new concrete stair construction and is incorporated into the leading edge of the stair while the concrete is still wet.
Ecoglo® cast-in-place profiles combine a durable anti-slip component with photoluminescent step-edge material. Under normal illumination, the contrasting stair edge helps identify the leading edge of each step. When normal lighting is reduced, the photoluminescent material provides passive visible step-edge definition without requiring an electrical connection at the nosing.
These profiles are designed for applications including conventional concrete stairs, concrete-filled steel-pan stairs and precast concrete stairs .
Compare the major Ecoglo® photoluminescent cast-in-place profiles by overall profile size, luminous configuration and anti-slip arrangement. Final product selection should be coordinated with project drawings, specifications and current manufacturer documentation.

For applicable series, inserts may be supplied attached or unattached. Unattached inserts can be installed later in the construction process using the manufacturer-specified adhesive.
Architects and concrete contractors should confirm exact profile placement, dimensions, lengths and installation requirements from the current series data sheet before concrete placement.
Photoluminescent material absorbs energy from suitable ambient illumination and releases visible light when normal lighting is reduced.
Ecoglo cast-in-place profiles combine photoluminescent step-edge material with a durable anti-slip component.
Installation into wet concrete allows the stair-edge profile to be coordinated as part of the new stair construction.
Photoluminescent step-edge visibility does not require wiring, batteries or an electrical connection at the stair nosing.
Cast-in-place stair nosing is commonly considered during the design and construction of new concrete stairs in commercial, institutional, transportation and public-sector environments. Project requirements should be confirmed for each application.

Photoluminescent egress requirements vary according to building type, jurisdiction, stair configuration, applicable code edition and the specific product configuration.
Do not assume that every Ecoglo profile or model has identical listings or is suitable for every project.
