F5101 PHOTOLUMINESCENT FLAT STAIR NOSINGS

  • F5101 Photoluminescent Flat Stair Nosing

The F5101 Photoluminescent Flat Stair Nosing provides step edge visibility and enhances egress speed in all light conditions.

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 thick anodized finish is aesthetically pleasing, prevents corrosion, and is extremely hard and abrasion resistant. The anodized aluminum surface is harder than pure aluminum, second only to diamonds hard crystalline structure.

Step Edge Safety

  • The unique ridges in the Ecoglo® photoluminescent strips and ridges in the aluminum stair nosing provide all-weather slip resistance.

Environmentally Friendly

  • LEED points qualified
  • Zero energy consumption
  • Non-Radioactive and Non-toxic
  • Recyclable; No disposable cost

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.
