Photoluminescent Step Edge

 The ILUM E Series features an aluminum base (1.8 mm thick) with combination of photoluminescent, visual contrast and non-skid - 3 products in 1 to to help reduce slip and fall accidents and guide people to safety in an emergency. Applied with adhesive to wide variety of substrates.

 The ILUM-F6171 Photoluminescent  Anodized Flat Stair Nosing provides step edge visibility and enhances  egress speed in all light conditions. They can be used on a range of  substrates including concrete, timber, tiles, steel, checker plate and  thin carpeted stairs. 

Combine the best illuminated step edge technology with the leading brands of rubber stair treads. We have partnered with Nora Flooring and Johnsonite to combine the best step edge technology with the industry's best one-piece rubber stair treads.

Add photoluminescent nosings to any type of carpeted step. Ecoglo carpet nosings install over existing carpet for secure step safety every time.

The Ecoglo photoluminescent renovation treads are designed to cover and re-enforce existing step edge during remodels. Cover damaged or worn step edges without having to replace the existing treads.

Ecoglo has a full line of photoluminescent stair nosings to cover existing rubber stair treads. Don't remove rubber stair treads just because the leading edge is worn or damaged. Ecoglo resilient flooring nosings install flush over existing treads. 

Stairway falls are a major cause of injury. However many of the factors contributing to these falls can easily be identified and mitigated with Photoluminescent markings combined with non-skid applications and visual contrast at the step edge.

One of the most important components of a safe egress stairwell system is high visibility at the step edge. Ecoglo step edge guidance strips feature a 3-in-1 visibility advantage: Photoluminescent, visual contrast and non-skid all in one unit.

i-Luminate provides a wide range of photoluminescent stair nosings, step edge guidance, handrail and landing strips that  help resolve the widest range of egress visibility and mobility challenges.

Poor Step Geometry  -- Steps must be consistent &  have correct rise-run ratios.

Poor Visibility --  Step edges must be clearly defined to prevent over or 

under-stepping.

Slippery Tread -- The material used on the edge of a step must be slip-resistant.

Inadequate Handrails -- Handrails must be a usable size and clearly visible in 

poor or no light conditions.

The photoluminescent strips provide high visibility 24 hours a day because the step edge and handrails are clearly defined and, as daylight diminishes or lights are extinguished, the strips give off a bright glow that lasts all night. 

Human Factors -- Stair design should take into account the common usage. Step edge visualization is the most important basis for design. Social behavior such as the increase in mobile phone usage and texting mean people often are not looking when negotiating stairs so visibility becomes increasingly important.
