Glowway products are available in many shapes, sizes and colors. Also different materials are available. The products are available with various surface structures from smooth to grainy, anti-slippery surfaces. We can also do custom-made products. By using the best available materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, we have developed products that stay luminous for several hours in the dark exceeding the ISO, DIN and ASTM standards' requirements.
Glowway products are non-toxic, non-radiative, and non-corrosive. Regarding disposal, the products are considered as general waste (EU Regulation No 1272/2008). |

PHOTOLUMINESCENT ANTISLIP STAIR NOSINGS / STEP-FRONTS
Glowway’s new patented innovation combines three important features in one product.
1. High-quality photoluminescent glass strip makes the stairs visible in darkness.
2. Rubber part provides friction and makes the stairs non-slippery.
3. The dark rubber part also provides an excellent contrast stripe for light coloured steps. Light contrast color is available for darker stair materials as a custom product.

STAIR NOSINGS
Product codes: Glass + antislip rubber
Body color: green and black / white Afterglow color: green |
The product is delivered to the end customer already imbedded in the stair planks by our partner companies (in Finland Rudus Oy). This results in seamless and top-quality end result and there is no extra installation costs for the customer.
According to wearing tests made by Contesta (test no. 21200038-025 according to SFS-EN 1338), the imbedded Glowway stair nosings even increases the overall resilience of the stair planks (comparison slabs wear 1,35-1,42 mm vs imbedded Glowway product 0,05-0,09 mm).
According to tests made by the Finnish Federation of the Visually Impaired (FFVI), using the contrast strip alongside the photoluminescent stripe would be helpful to the majority of people who have visual impairments to distinguish the edge of the step.
According to friction tests made by the Geologcal Survey of Finland, (test no. GTK/476/11.02.00/2016) the antislip rubber part enhances the overall friction of the concrete slabs especially in wet conditions when the risk for slipping is normally highest.
The photoluminescence qualities of the product have been tested by SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, (tests MTk3P04444-K01-KO6) according to ISO 16069:2004, DIN 67510-1:2009 and ASTM E2073-10 standards exceeding the requirements.
Please note that the sample size length of this product is normally 300 mm and for tests 550 mm.
PHOTOLUMINESCENT GLASS TILES / GUIDING TILES
|
These photoluminescent glass tiles have flat-grinded edges and are manufactured from standard float glass (tempered glass is available upon request). They have an elegant and non-slippery etched surface and the daylight and afterglow color is green (yellow is available upon request). These tiles are durable and can be used in inside and outside conditions. With normal charge the tiles glow several hours in darkness and have a working life of over 25 years.
The round tiles are very easy to retrofit. The rectangular shaped tiles can be placed sequentially to form solid lines that lead to safety. The longer tiles are perfect e.g. as step-fronts/stair nosing or baseboards.
The basic glass tiles are available in following sizes (lxwxt or dxt):

Accessibility products
The Accessibility products (tactile guiding system) are used in spaces which require consideration for visually impaired people. The products are designed to have a raised pattern which can be felt and followed with foot or white cane. The glass products are designed to be installed in a floor-groove. The polycarbonate products are easily retrofitted on various surfaces by glue or screws. The rods and lists are placed sequentially to form solid lines that lead to exits. The buttons and studs can be used e.g. to warn about stairs. The Polycarbonate List is available in several (RAL) colors. Only the green and yellow colors glows in the dark.

INSTALLATION TOOLS
The installation tools are meant to help the installation of the Accessibility products. The tools help set the products in the correct height.
WARNING TILES
Glowway photoluminescent Warning Tiles are used to warn people about dangerous places. The yellow body and afterglow color is usually used for warning tiles and the surface is anti-slippery. For example, metro and railway stations' platform edges can be marked with the Yellow Warning Tiles to warn about the tracks in darkness.
