Photoluminescent and Life Safety Signage for Residential Highrise

"Getting to my building was the easy part. Walking up 19 flights of stairs in the pitch dark was harder. I almost killed myself on the second floor, not anticipating a raised platform before the stairs actually began. I counted up the flights, hope that I had arrived at the right floor, and felt my way out into the hallway, where I found my door by the benefit of the small beam of light shining through the peephole in the door." - New York City resident to reporters during the 2003 blackout


Glow in the dark (photoluminescent) Wall Markings, Life Safety Directional Signs, Handrail and Stair Markings and NFPA Stair ID provide occupants with a clearly marked path during blackout conditions due to fire, natural and man made disasters.

During times of decreased or no visability your buildings occupants could be walking around blind, feeling their way around the building. This is not only a danger to thier lives but poses serious liabilty to you as the facility owner or manager.
