Photoluminescent Exit Path Marking Systems

Balco's high-powered, non-electric IllumiTread™ photoluminescent emergency exit path markings and emergency exit signs provide safe, illuminated routing for stairways and exits whenever there's a need for emergency egress and wherever supplementation of electric or emergency lighting is desired or required by code.

IllumiTread photoluminescent guidance strips and exit signs are powered by Strontium Aluminate material that recharges in ambient light, glows longer and over 30 times brighter than standard photoluminescents, and is warranted for 25 years. Balco strips are also non-toxic, non-radioactive, and PVC- and VOC-free. They improve safety, reduce liability, can be recycled, and qualify for LEED points.

In the 2009 International Building Code, Section 1024, the International Council of Code Officials adopted a requirement that all non-residential buildings, new and existing, over 75 feet in height must install Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Systems in all enclosed emergency stairwells. Balco's durable, efficient IllumiTread products are the ideal choice for meeting this and other national and local code requirements.
