Ecoglo® F4B150 Aluminized Aluminum Flat Stair Nosing – Yellow Non-Slip Stair Protection

Improve traction, increase step-edge visibility, and protect high-traffic stairs with a wide, durable aluminum stair nosing.

The Ecoglo® F4B150 Yellow Non-Slip Flat Stair Nosing combines a 3.2-inch-wide clear aluminized aluminum profile with a high-visibility yellow silicon carbide non-slip insert. Its wide right-angled profile fits over the leading edge of the step, providing durable traction, stair-edge protection and a clean architectural appearance.

Designed for commercial, institutional, industrial and public stairways, the F4B150 can be installed over concrete, timber, tile, steel, checker plate and thin carpeted stairs. It provides a practical way to renovate worn stair edges and improve stairway safety without replacing the complete stair system.

Product clarification: The F4B150 is a non-photoluminescent stair nosing with a yellow silicon carbide non-slip insert. It does not glow in darkness and should not be represented as a photoluminescent egress-marking product.

General Information

Install with premium polyurethane adhesive.

  • Option for mechanical fasteners.
  • Do not use mechanical fasteners when installing outdoors.
  • Available in cut to length sizes. (Tolerance +or- 1/8”) Standard lengths are 8ft and 10ft.
  • Weight: 0.1 lbs/ft.

Engineered for Durability

  • Manufactured using Ecoglo®’s patented process which produces the most durable and highly efficient photoluminescent product available.
  • Unique ridges in the photoluminescent strips protect it from most abrasive wear. They provide slip resistance while still allowing the product to be easily cleaned.
  • The hard-wearing silicon carbide non-slip material is integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate. Thousands of people can walk on it with no signs of wear and tear.

Superior Step Edge Safety

  • The color contrasting the non-slip material with advanced photoluminescent technology provides step edge visibility in all light conditions.
  • The unique ridges in the Ecoglo® photoluminescent strips and the integrated anti-slip contrast strips provide all-weather slip resistance.

Installed Durability:

  • The rigid aluminum base spreads any applied load over a greater area of installation adhesive. Installation with a premium polyurethane adhesive/sealant is extremely durable, moisture resistant, and works very well on both smooth and textured surfaces.

For Indoor Use and Outdoor Use:

  • Tested to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, and proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering.
  • The loss in performance is less than can be detected by the human eye when subjected to 6000 hours of UV exposure, which is similar to 30 years of outdoor exposure.
  • The polymer used in Ecoglo’s patented process is “long chain” which forms a strong UV resistant product when bonding.

Ecoglo® Photoluminescent Stair Strips

FAQ

How do Ecoglo® contrast strips work?

Ecoglo®’s stair strips absorb ambient light—natural or artificial—and store energy. In the dark, they emit a bright glow for hours, marking step edges clearly without electricity or batteries.

How long do the strips glow in darkness?

Fully charged strips can glow for 6–12 hours, depending on light exposure. They recharge quickly under standard lighting conditions.

Are these strips code-compliant?

Yes, Ecoglo E20 strips meet IBC, IFC, OSHA, and local building codes for egress path markings and visibility in emergency conditions.

Why are continuous lines of luminance important in evacuation paths?

Continuous lines of photoluminescent markings along evacuation routes—especially on steps, handrails, and landings—help guide evacuees safely, even in darkness or smoke.

Unlike overhead lighting, photoluminescent stairway guidance (SWG) systems are placed low and remain visible beneath smoke layers, ensuring people can clearly see where to place their hands and feet during an emergency.

Can Ecoglo® contrast strips be used outdoors?

Yes. Ecoglo® contrast strips are UV-resistant, weatherproof, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications—ideal for stairwells, ramps, loading docks, and fire exits.

  • Tested to accelerated UV/weathering exposure, and proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering.
  • The loss in performance is less than can be detected by the human eye when subjected to 6000 hours of UV exposure, which is similar to 30 years of outdoor exposure.
  • The polymer used in Ecoglo®’s patented process is “long chain” which forms a strong UV resistant product when bonding.

How is the installed durability?

The rigid aluminum base spreads any applied load over a greater area of installation adhesive. Installation with a premium polyurethane adhesive/sealant is extremely durable, moisture resistant, and works very well on both smooth and textured surfaces.

How are the Ecoglo® photoluminescent strips installed?

Installation is simple: use adhesive (recommended for indoor use) or mechanical fasteners for extra durability outdoors or in high-traffic areas.

Are the Ecoglo® luminiscent strips slip-resistant?

Yes. Ecoglo® luminiscent strips feature high-traction ridges made of silicon carbide, bonded to an aluminum base for excellent slip resistance—even in wet or oily conditions.

What makes Ecoglo® a leader in photoluminescent safety technology?
