M4.125-E30 Photoluminescent Tile Nosing
Ecoglo®’s M4.125-E30 Photoluminescent Tile Nosing has been specifically designed for improving the safety of your facility’s tiled stairways. We took the benefits of our industry-leading step edge visibility solutions, slip resistance, and all-light visibility and wear resistance and combined them into a refined and durable anodized aluminum profile. Our stair strips provide you with a cost-effective way to renovate and modernize your worn stairways and improve your facility’s safety. As such, our M4 stair nosing series offers strength, beauty, and peace of mind.
Ecoglo® is world-renowned amongst photoluminescent signs suppliers and anti-slip step manufacturers for producing visibility solutions that reduce the risk of slip and fall incidents in your facility. Our team manufactures every product using our patented process to produce fast-charging photoluminescent products that are highly durable and UV stable. Remember… with Ecoglo®, you’ll never miss a step!
*The M4.125 tile nosing profile is compatible with tiles that are between 3/8″ and 1/2″ (9mm and 12.5mm) thick.

General Information
- Available in 8ft lengths.
- Product is sold with inserts unattached. The aluminum extrusion is cut using a saw with a blade for cutting non-ferrous metals. For best results, we recommend cutting inserts with a shear.
- Inserts are installed into aluminum nosing using a premium polyurethane adhesive (not included).
Aluminum Finish:
- Available in Clear Anodized Aluminum Finish.
- Light Bronze and, Dark Bronze Anodize finishes are available at an additional cost.
- Our stair strips are the most durable and highly efficient photoluminescent products available thanks to us manufacturing it using Ecoglo®’s patented process.
- Unique ridges embedded in the photoluminescent strips protect our stair nosing from most abrasive wear – providing superior slip resistance while still allowing the product to be easily cleaned.
- We integrally bonded the hard-wearing silicon carbide non-slip material to the stair strips’ aluminum substrate – meaning thousands of people can walk on it with no signs of wear and tear.
- The Ecoglo® team designed the thick anodized finish to prevent corrosion, be aesthetically pleasing, and be extremely hard and abrasion-resistant. The anodized aluminum surface is harder than pure aluminum, second only to the hard-crystalline structure of diamonds.
- The Ecoglo® team designed our aluminum stair nosing’s non-slip material to clearly contrast with its advanced photoluminescent technology – providing your facility with step edge visibility in all light conditions.
- The unique ridges in the Ecoglo® photoluminescent strips and the integrated anti-slip contrast slips provide durable all-weather slip resistance.
- We tested our aluminum tread nosing under accelerated UV/weathering exposure, during which it has proven to be highly resistant to the effects of UV/weathering, making it the best choice for both indoor or outdoor use.
- When subjected to the equivalent of 30 years of outdoor exposure – 6,000 hours of UV exposure – our stair strips experience a loss in performance that is less than can be detected by the human eye.
- We use a “long chain” polymer in Ecoglo®’s patented process to form a strong UV resistant product when bonding.
- Our aluminum stair nosing is LEED Points qualified – because we care about contributing toward a sustainable future.
- Thanks to the embedded photoluminescent technology, our stair strips will not consume any energy once they are installed.
- Like every Ecoglo® product, we designed our aluminum stair nosing to be non-radioactive and non-toxic.
- This product can be disposed of at no additional cost and is completely recyclable.
