Ecoglo - Visibly better, photo-luminescent, anti-slip marking system

Step Edge Contrast

Photoluminescent markings can be used to provide step edge contrast to

• Prevent slips and falls
• improve accessibility for patrons with impaired vision
• aid in wayfinding in low light or dark environments

Steps should allow for fast, orderly and safe movement of patrons in both emergency and non emergency situations. Poor visibility is a leading cause of slips and falls on steps. The costs to facilities in claims for slips and falls can be an excessive avoidable expense.

Glare in the environment, visual reflectance and specular properties of a stair tread can contribute to daytime visibility difficulties. Photoluminescent systems can provide step edge contrast that overcomes these issues and ensures good contrast in light, dark and dim conditions.

Step edge contrast is important for all patrons but particularly important for those with impaired vision.
