3 Photoluminescent Egress Path Markings That Every Building Needs

When emergency strikes, don’t let people get lost in disarray! Emergency way out can create a sense of stress and panic, and even in non-emergency conditions, people may struggle to find the exit discharge in an unknown building.

With the underneath 3 key photoluminescent egress path markings, people can easily navigate the exit pathways in the building even in no light condition, whether it’s an emergency or not!

1. Photoluminescent Exit Signs

Exit signs are used to mark the direct path of exit and mark the final way out. Therefore, they are a crucial aspect of building safety. In general, exit signs help occupants find the right way out. In addition, exit signs help in a quicker evacuation in emergency and panic conditions, ensuring all occupants can securely get out of the building.

Photoluminescent exit signs gain a charge from exposure to natural or artificial light and can glow brightly for hours in all lighting conditions.

2. Ecoglo Step Edge Cast in Place Stair Nosings

Usually, falls and trips from stairs occur because of a lack of step-edge visibility. Foot clearance and precision can improve when a highlighter is placed along the length of the step-edge, which reduces the risk of an accident. Step-edge visibility is more important in darkened or low-light conditions.

Installing photoluminescent Ecoglo step edge cast in place stair nosings by contractors against the stair substrates ensures the step edge is visible clearly in low or no light conditions. In addition, stair nosings help to enhance evacuation speeds in emergency conditions.

3. Obstruction Markings

Exit pathways should always be obstacles free, but sometimes it is not possible. In such conditions, it is important to mark out the obstacles with standpipes protruding into the exit passage. Standpipes are photoluminescent obstruction markings applied to ensure the obstacle doesn’t get lost in no light conditions.

These markings reduce the risk of injury; ensuring people can see and avoid obstructions along the exit path.
