Safety depends on you!  Photoluminescent tapes, signs and markers create continuous, uninterrupted guidance lines along stairwell walls, re-entry and final exits and other door markings. Using photoluminescent tapes in stairwells that are dark can brighten the way to safety. Below are a few tips on how to mark a stairwell with photoluminescent tape. 

Steps The entire horizontal leading edge of each step should be marked with a solid and continuous strip of photoluminescent material.

Leading edge of landings (i.e. platforms at the top of stairs) should be marked in a consistent and uniform manner throughout the same exit.

Handrails Should be marked with a solid and continuous strip of photoluminescent material. The strip should be placed at least on the top surface of the handrail for the entire length of any handrails including handrail extensions and newal post caps.

Floor perimeter demarcation lines are intended to outline the egress path by providing low level photoluminescent lines on both sides of the path. Stair landings and other parts of the egress path shall be provided with a solid and continuous 1″ to 2″: wide strip of photoluminescent material.
