Photoluminescent stair Treads

Safety managers and architects are moving away from temporary tapes in favor of permanent architectural solutions. EVERYGLOW® Photoluminescent Stair Treads offer a rigid, heavy-duty base (Aluminum/FRP) combined with Class C/D glow performance. They don’t just mark the path; they protect the stair edge and provide R11-R13 slip resistance. Essential for any high-occupancy building looking to meet modern fire codes without relying on electrical backup.

คำอธิบาย:: EVERYGLOW® Photoluminescent Stair Treads

1. Overview

EVERYGLOW® Photoluminescent Stair Treads are high-durability safety components designed for permanent installation in commercial, industrial, and public buildings. Unlike standard tapes, these treads are rigid architectural elements that provide full-surface protection for stair steps. They integrate high-intensity photoluminescent crystals with robust carrier materials to ensure emergency egress paths remain visible and slip-resistant even in total darkness or smoke-filled environments.

2. Key Features

  • Full-Step Coverage: Designed to cover the leading edge or the entire surface of the stair, providing a clear visual boundary for safe foot placement.
  • Exceptional Afterglow Performance: Engineered with premium strontium aluminate, exceeding DIN 67510 Class D and E standards for brightness and duration (10–12+ hours).
  • Industrial-Grade Anti-Slip: Features a high-friction mineral grit surface (Silicon Carbide) that ensures maximum traction, significantly reducing the risk of slips and falls.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Built on rigid aluminum or reinforced polymer bases that withstand high-volume foot traffic and mechanical wear.
  • Fire & Smoke Rated: Constructed from flame-retardant materials that do not emit toxic gases, compliant with high-rise building safety codes.

4. Primary Applications

  • Commercial High-Rises: Mandatory emergency exit stairwell marking for office buildings and hotels.
  • Public Transportation: Non-slip, photoluminescent stair treads for subway stations, railway platforms, and airports.
  • Industrial Facilities: Safe path marking in power plants, warehouses, and chemical processing zones.
  • Stadiums & Theaters: Path-finding in low-light entertainment venues to prevent crowd-crush during outages.
  • Marine & Offshore: Durable, salt-water resistant stair safety for ships and oil rigs.

5. Installation & Maintenance

  • Installation: Can be pre-drilled for screw-down installation on concrete/wood or applied using high-strength epoxy bonding for a seamless look.
  • Nosing Design: Available inL-shapeprofiles to protect the vulnerable corner of the step orFlatprofiles for mid-step traction.
  • Maintenance: Simply clean with standard non-abrasive floor detergents. The glow property is a physical reaction that does not degrade with cleaning and requires no electrical maintenance.
  • Aesthetics: Available inDaylight WhiteorSafety Yellowbackgrounds that glow Yellow-Green or Aqua-Blue in the dark.

6. Safety & Compliance

  • Non-Radioactive: 100% safe for human contact and environmentally friendly.
  • Sustainable: Reduces the need for electrical backup lighting in emergency stairwells, lowering energy costs.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets the requirements for Luminous Egress Path Markings as defined by the International Building Code (IBC).
