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.

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.
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.

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.

General Information

Install flush with resilient flooring using adhesive and mechanical fasteners
Supplied with pre-drilled countersunk Includes stainless steel fasteners and concrete nylon anchors. Standard location is 2″ from each end and approx. 12″ apart.
Available in cut to length sizes. (Tolerance +or- 1/8”) Standard lengths are 8ft and 10ft.
