What photoluminescent stair nosing should I use?
Ecoglo photoluminescent stair nosings can be used to supplement electrical emergency lighting systems as the products are fail-safe, operate immediately and do not require ongoing maintenance.
In poor or reduced light conditions Ecoglo slip resistant treads in Quantum stair nosings can help make a stairway safer. Ecoglo is a photoluminescent material which is charged and re-charged by both natural and artificial light. It glows in the dark when a light source is removed. Steps fitted with Ecoglo stair nosings will always have a clear contrasting band of colour in all light conditions. Ecoglo stair nosings can be fitted on internal or external stairs.
The photoluminescent strip is activated by natural or artificial light and then emits a steady glow guiding people safely up and down steps in all conditions. The combination of the photoluminescent strip and the anti-slip material provides superior step edge definition whether you are in a fully lit, dim or completely dark environment. When people are confident of where the edge of the step is and in which direction to travel, movement is faster and easier.
Ecoglo products are green, letting you harvest nature’s sunlight or reuse your existing electrical light. Ecoglo uses recycled aluminium and a carbon neutral energy supplier. All products are non-toxic and non-radioactive and can be readily recycled.

How do you cut Ecoglo?
It is suggested that Ecoglo is cut off site and by Quantum Flooring Accessories. This is because Ecoglo requires a special saw to cut it.
Quantum Flooring Accessories have a special stair nosing measuring service that is free of charge, therefore if you would like ready to fit labelled stair nosings with Ecoglo treads delivered to site call 0161 627 4222 to book.
What is the HTC manufacturing process used for Ecoglo?
Revolutionising Stair Safety: The Superiority of Ecoglo®’s Manufacturing Process
While luminous egress path markings have become commonplace for stair safety, not all products are created equal. Although many may appear similar, Ecoglo® photoluminescent signage and egress markings stand out from the crowd.
Most manufacturers in this industry employ a liquid polymer formulation to achieve photoluminescence. However, Ecoglo® takes a distinctive approach by utilizing a dry powder formulation and subjecting it to high-temperature thermosetting.
What Sets Ecoglo® Apart?
The key differentiator lies in the meticulous control over photoluminescent particles’ quantity and even distribution across the surface. The longevity and brightness of the glow are directly influenced by these factors. While other manufacturers using liquid formulations may encounter issues such as settling of particles, resulting in a dim or inconsistent glow, Ecoglo®’s dry powder formulation ensures a consistent, glowing coverage.
Introducing Ecoglo HTC (High Temperature Curing) Products
Ecoglo® has dedicated over two decades to perfecting its manufacturing process, centred around High Temperature Curing (HTC). This patented process involves powder coating with temperatures exceeding 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit).
The Ecoglo® HTC process entails applying a powder mix containing photoluminescent particles and a purpose-designed polymer to aluminium strips. The subsequent thermosetting at high temperatures ensures a precise and permanent bond between the photoluminescent material and aluminium strips.
Why Choose HTC Manufactured Photoluminescent Egress Products?
The powder mix approach allows for maximum control over photoluminescent particles, ensuring a consistent glow across the entire product. This method preserves the integrity of the pigment, resulting in a long-lasting, always-glowing light source. Unlike wet manufactured products, Ecoglo®’s HTC products exhibit remarkable consistency and reliability.
The high-temperature curing process produces luminous egress path markings and step-edge markings that outshine the competition. Extensive testing under harsh conditions ensures maximum durability, making Ecoglo®’s products stand the test of time, even under heavy foot traffic.
Added Benefits of Ecoglo®’s Manufacturing Excellence
Ecoglo®’s precise chemistry in the dry powder formulation results in a stable and reliable light source, especially when it comes to charging. These products quickly gain and hold a charge, emitting a steady light over time without performance fluctuations.
Furthermore, Ecoglo® products are non-toxic, non-radioactive, and fire-rated for surface flammability, providing peace of mind for safety-conscious users.
As jurisdictions increasingly mandate luminous egress path markings in stairways, it’s crucial to look beyond appearances. Ecoglo®’s perfected HTC manufacturing process delivers industry-leading photoluminescence and durability. Make the switch to Ecoglo® today and ensure your building never misses a step again!
