Ecoglo® RFA7B171 Black Photoluminescent Resilient Flooring Stair Nosing | RF7B-E40

The RF7B-E40 series is available in three primary anti-slip colors: RFA7B171 Black, RFA7B161 Gray and RFA7B151 Yellow.

All three models use the same 90° RF7B-E40 resilient-flooring stair-nosing profile.

RF7B-E40 combines a 90° resilient-flooring profile, five photoluminescent strips and a non-slip strip across an approximately 2.19-inch surface.

This E40 configuration is designed for projects seeking a larger photoluminescent surface while maintaining an integrated anti-slip component.

RF7B-E40 is designed to install flush with resilient flooring. Ecoglo® also identifies its resilient-flooring nosings for vinyl and other thin flooring materials.

Confirm the finished flooring build-up and stair-edge geometry against the approved architectural detail before ordering.

Standard RF7B-E40 lengths are 8 FT and 10 FT.

Cut-to-length sizes are also available. Ecoglo® publishes an approximate cut-length tolerance of ±1/8 inch.

Install RF7B-E40 flush with resilient flooring using adhesive and mechanical fasteners.

The aluminum nosing is supplied with pre-drilled countersunk holes, stainless-steel fasteners and concrete nylon anchors. Standard hole locations are approximately 2 inches from each end and approximately 12 inches apart.

Yes. RF7B-E40 uses an insert supplied unattached from the aluminum extrusion.

The insert is installed over the mechanical fasteners using polyurethane adhesive. Ecoglo® specifies that the insert can be cut using a shear, while the aluminum nosing should be cut with an appropriate saw.

The abrasive insert should not be cut with the saw because it can damage the blade.

The standard extrusion finish is Clear Anodized Aluminum.

Ecoglo® also identifies Black, Light Bronze and Dark Bronze anodized finishes as additional-cost options.

Optional finish availability, pricing and lead time should be confirmed before material is released for ordering.

No. Black, Gray and Yellow identify the anti-slip configuration, while the aluminum extrusion has its own anodized finish.

For example, RFA7B171 is the Black model but can still use the standard Clear Anodized Aluminum extrusion.

Select the anti-slip color according to the required visual contrast, surrounding resilient flooring, architectural palette and project specification.

Black provides a dark neutral option, Gray provides a softer neutral appearance, and Yellow provides a more prominent daytime stair-edge color.

Ecoglo® describes RF7B-E40 as a durable stair-edge system using hard-wearing silicon-carbide non-slip material integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate.

The photoluminescent strips incorporate protective ridges intended to reduce abrasive wear, while the anodized aluminum finish provides abrasion and corrosion resistance.

Actual service life will depend on traffic, installation, exposure and maintenance.

Ecoglo® identifies the RF7B-E40 aluminum stair-nosing system for indoor and outdoor applications and reports accelerated UV and weathering exposure testing.

Final suitability should still be confirmed for the specific environment, substrate and project requirements.

The photoluminescent strips use suitable existing ambient illumination and consume zero electrical energy at the stair nosing.

Ecoglo® also describes the product materials as non-radioactive, non-toxic and recyclable.

The current Ecoglo® RF7B-E40 manufacturer data sheet identifies RF7B-E40 as UL 1994 and ULC 572 listed.

Architects, contractors and code consultants should verify the current manufacturer documentation and applicable project or Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements.

A project submittal should identify the RF7B-E40 series, RFA7B model/color, aluminum finish, required lengths and quantities.

Supporting documentation may include the RF7B-E40 data sheet, CAD details, installation information and current listing or project-specific compliance documentation.

Provide the RFA7B model/color, quantity, required lengths, aluminum finish, project location and required delivery timing if known.

For larger commercial or specification-driven projects, drawings, stair details or the relevant specification section can help confirm the requested configuration.
