Photoluminescent products continue to glow in the absence of power. Even if back-up power systems fall, photoluminescent surfaces such as the inserts in these stair nosings continue to emit light, make them the ultimate in emergency safety features.
Stair nosings are generally made from non-stick substances such as rubber. Photoluminescent stair nosings are made instead from aluminmum with a special insert. The aluminum helps prevent stair wear and tear and prevents slipping. In this way, photoluminescent stair nosings provide the same safety features as other stair nosings.
However, photoluminescent inserts add a bonus safety feature. The photoluminescent insert is essentially glow-in-the-dark. In an emergency situation, these photoluminescent inserts will help guide the building's inhabitants to safety. During an emergency evacuation in a situation involving a power outage, people will still be able to see and use the stairs safely as the photoluminescent stair nosings point the way.
