Luminous Egress in North Carolina
Requirements for luminous egress path markings become retroactive to existing high-rise buildings with the adoption of the 2015 International Building Code [see IFC 1104.25, 1025], as part of the 2018 North Carolina Building Code, which came into effect in January 2019. As such, it is now mandatory for all new and existing high-rise commercial building across the state to install luminous egress signage and path markings in stairwells and landings, as per local building code guidelines.
All of Ecoglo®’s luminous egress path markings have been manufactured using our patented process, producing the best photoluminescent properties available on the market.

In all lighting conditions the importance of the visibility of stair treads, handrails and other obstructions within an egress pathway is very important, especially in emergency conditions.
People’s vision can often be compromised under such circumstances, especially since they are under duress, so it is crucial for patrons of buildings to be able to easily find their way out to safety.
Our industry-leading and cost effective luminous egress path markings make it easier than ever to bring your Indiana facility up to code, and help protect lives from the dangers of fire.
Luminous Egress Path Marking Code Compliance in North Carolina
The provisions set out in Section 1025, adopted as part of the North Carolina Building Code, provide an additional level of safety to any building’s egress path, by requiring the installation of photoluminescent or self-illuminating marking systems that do not require electrical power. Even if a building’s power supply fails to operate, photoluminescent egress markings ensure occupants can safely exit a building via exit stairways. This is especially necessary in high-rise buildings, which feature a greater anticipated occupant load and occupants who may not be familiar with the emergency exit path.
