Patented Photoluminescent Emergency Exit Lighting Products for Stairwells

Your complete solution for compliance with 2009 International Building Codes

Volk Corporation, a leader in marking and identification products since 1890, has developed a new photoluminescent (glow in the dark) stairwell emergency exit lighting system that is a better and more cost effective design compared with similar products.

  • Stair Nosing: designed with a photoluminescent strip and anti-skid tread molded right into the design: this eliminates the possibility of lifting, delamination or separation that can occur with competitors' products. Made from durable glass filled polyurethane. Meets the non-slip standards of the ADA. [ More about Stairglow® stair nosing » ]
  • Handrail Covers: available in round or square versions, they are designed to fit easily and attach permanently to a wide variety of stair rails. Just as it is with the stair nosing, the photoluminescent strip is an integral part of the handrail design. [ More about Stairglow® handrail covers » ]
  • Door Markers: custom legends available for horizontal and vertical door handles as well as push bar covers. The illumination from the markers is bright enough to illuminate the door handles themselves. [ More about Stairglow® door markers » ]

With Volk’s patented technology, our photoluminescent products deliver strong, consistent luminance even when a moderate amount of ambient light is present. As darkness increases, so does their vividness, increasing their effectiveness and value.

Battery powered exit signs and emergency lights need to have batteries replaced on a regular basis, or they'll fail when they're needed most. Stairglow® products, on the other hand, glow for hours in the dark with no need for batteries or electricity of any type.

Stairglow® additionally offers illuminated baseboard tapes and a wide variety of miscellaneous illuminated signage which completes your “Total Exit Pathway Solution”.
