Question: Why use these products?
Answer: According to studies low-level-lighting system can significantly decrease evacuation times in emergency situations. E.g. in USA the 2009 and 2012 International Building Code and Fire Code require all non-residential buildings Groups A, B, E, I, M, and R-1 for new construction over 75 feet in height must install Photoluminescent Exit Path Markings in all enclosed emergency exit stairwells.
Glowway products are top of the line glow-in-the-dark products regarding durability, design and functionality. The products are environmentally friendly, durable and cost-effective compared for example to e.g. led-powered systems, tapes etc. The products are made of elegant materials, fit well into different architectural surroundings, do not require outside power source or any wiring and do not require maintenance except cleaning.
Question: How do the photoluminescent products work?
Answer: They gather energy from the surrounding natural or ambient light and release the charge in darkness by glowing brightly for many hours.
Question: How many hours will the product glow?
Answer: When fully charged, the products can be seen glowing in total darkness even after 10 hours.
Question: How to fully charge the products?
Answer: The products can be fully charged by giving it app. 8 min of direct sunlight or app. 25 min of normal room light.
Question: Where can the products be used?
Answer: Glowway products can be used in all locations where quick and efficient exit is required in emergency situations. The products can also be used for decoration purposes.
Question: How long does the luminescence last?
Answer: According to the pigment manufacturer at least 25 years when installed indoors. In our own tests we have been testing the products in outdoor conditions now for 8 years without visible change in performance.
Question: How durable are the glass products?
Answer: The modulus of rupture and breaking strength qualities have been tested according to EN ISO 10545:2012 standards and the products fulfill the requirements clearly. In general it can be said that tempered glass is approximately five times stronger than regular glass.
Question: What maintenance is required for the products?
Answer: Make sure they are cleaned of dust or dirt build up. No other maintenance is required.
Question: How reliable are the products?
Answer: Glowway products have no components that will need replacing. As long as they are installed properly and kept reasonably clean, and not physically damaged, they will be working reliably.
Question: How much do the products cost?
Answer: The prices vary depending on the product. Please ask for quotation.
Question: Where are the products made?
Answer: Glowway products are designed in Finland and manufactured in Finland and Poland.
Question: Who can install the products?
Answer: Most of our products are installed in the floor like regular decorative tiling so any professional tiler should be able to install the products without problems. Also installation tools are available for some products.
Question: Can the products be used outdoors?
Answer: Yes, Glowway products can be used also outdoors since they are durable and withstand well all weather conditions. Regarding the photoluminance effect in outdoor conditions, the suitability should be tested case by case since many lighting factors affect the luminance (e.g. surrounding light pollution can diminish the luminance effect to some extent).
Question: Are there any poisonous or radioactive substances in the products?
Answer: No, the photoluminescent pigment used is not flammable, poisonous, radiative or a corrosive substance. When disposed of, according to EU Regulation N:o 1272/2008 the products are considered as general waste.
