This heavy-duty aluminium ramp-profile nosing pairs a black carbide anti-slip insert with an integral glow strip that charges under normal daylight or room lighting and glows for hours in the dark, so fire escapes, external steps and emergency exit routes stay safely walkable the moment the lights go out. The 5mm heavy-duty gauge profile is built for constant outdoor exposure and heavy foot traffic, and is supplied in 20 lengths from 800mm to 2750mm to suit everything from a single domestic step to a full commercial stair run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nosing's photoluminescent strip contains a pigment that absorbs ambient light energy throughout the day and re-emits it as a visible glow once the surrounding light level drops, with no batteries, wiring or maintenance required. Sitting alongside it, a coarse carbide grit insert bonded into the aluminium profile gives slip resistance in both light and dark conditions, so the nosing is doing two safety jobs at once: defining the step edge visually, and keeping feet from sliding off it. The aluminium carrier itself is a heavy-duty 5mm gauge extrusion, chosen so the profile survives the repeated flexing and weather exposure of an external fire escape rather than just an indoor corridor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks without power\u003c\/strong\u003e – photoluminescent strip glows for hours after charging in daylight or room light, no electrics needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmergency egress ready\u003c\/strong\u003e – keeps step edges visible during power failures, smoke events and night-time evacuations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-slip in the dark and light\u003c\/strong\u003e – carbide grit insert provides grip regardless of visibility conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for outdoor exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e – 5mm heavy-duty aluminium gauge withstands external fire escapes and weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 lengths available\u003c\/strong\u003e – 800mm to 2750mm covers single domestic steps through to full commercial stair runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nosing is specified on fire escapes, external emergency exit stairs, industrial stairwells, car park stair cores and any step where mains or emergency lighting cannot be relied on in a power cut. It also suits refurbishment projects on schools, offices and public buildings where photoluminescent way-guidance is being added to meet fire risk assessment recommendations, and outdoor domestic steps in gardens or side passages where a permanently lit step edge is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLengths available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2450, 2500, 2600, 2750mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium profile with carbide anti-slip inlay and photoluminescent glow strip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGauge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm heavy-duty profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal and external, ramp-back profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right length\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the full width of the step you are fitting to, not just the walked area, and order the length equal to or just over that measurement so the nosing runs edge to edge. Standard UK domestic stair widths are typically covered by the 800mm to 1000mm lengths, while communal and commercial stairs often need 1200mm to 1800mm. For wide fire escape flights or landings, the longer 2000mm to 2750mm lengths avoid an unsightly and less durable joint part-way across the step. This is a special order profile cut to the length you select, so measure twice before ordering as it cannot be shortened by the customer without cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation, use and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit directly to the front edge of a new or existing step over concrete, timber or most other solid substrates, using a suitable construction adhesive and mechanical fixings for external or heavy-traffic locations. Allow the glow strip a full day of normal light exposure before relying on it in the dark, as photoluminescent pigment needs to charge before it can emit light. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads over the glow strip, which can dull its light-emitting surface over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the glow last in the dark?\u003c\/strong\u003e After a full day of ambient light exposure, the strip typically remains visibly glowing for several hours, gradually fading as the stored light energy is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
