IllumiTread™, For Safety’s Sake
Electrical emergency lighting and signage
are subject to failure, leaving egress
routes in the dark. IllumiTread™ is failsafe,
providing a non-electric, highly visible
routing system that makes egress faster and
safer for many hours after power loss.
The IllumiTread™ product line includes
Stair Nosings, Aisle Markers, Demarcation,
Hand Rail Markers and Signage all
designed to help assure safe egress after
the loss of electrical power in a building.
IllumiTread™ powered by glowZONETM
uses only the highest grade Strontium
Aluminate pigments, this means brighter
glow, upwards of 30 times brighter than
standard Zinc Sulfide photoluminescence
materials. IllumiTread™ meets International
Building Code 403.16 Exit Path Markings,
NYC reference standard RS-6-1 and NFPA
101 Life Safety Code Exit Path Markings.
Product highlights of IllumiTread™TM
What sets IllumiTread™ apart?Balco’s IllumiTread™ powered by glowZONETM delivers the highest luminescence levels available, but requires significantly less ambient light to recharge.
