Stair nosing profile with photoluminescent strip that help to fulfill with the more demanding standards related to emergency lighting. It also has a non-slip surface and is intended to be installed after tiling. Ideal for public areas with heavy pedestrian (foot) traffic.

Novopeldaño Lúmina is a profile for stair nosings with slim design which combines functionality and beauty just in a product. The properties of the photoluminescent strip surpass the demands related to luminescence established in the UNE 23035-4. It is the safer choice for the stairs.

The photoluminescent strip, 3 cm. width, fulfills the requirements of the UNE 23035 related to emergency lighting. This profile can be installed on the tread or on the riser depending on the direction of the evacuation.

Dimensions

Uses and applications

Novopeldaño Lumen at: 65 mm. is a profile designed to be placed as a stair nosing. Its striated face side helps to fulfill the DB-SUA from CTE (Spanish Technical Building Code) as it improves the value of slip resistance of the flooring where is installed.
The photoluminescent strip of Novopeldaño Lúmina exceeds the requirements of luminescence (class B) of UNE 23035/4: 2003 standard related to photoluminescent marking systems in fire safety.

Novopeldaño Lúmina a: 48 mm. is ideal for public areas such as airports, hotels, hospitals, etc. and for being installed in homes. Its ease of placement, without work, makes it specially suitable for rehabilitation and reform works.

Materials

Aluminum

The Novopeldaño Lúmina base is a profile made by extrusion of aluminum. The matte silver finish has been anodized, mainly improving through this process its resistance to corrosion, mechanical resistance and appearance. The anodizing carried out has the Qualanod quality seal, which guarantees the quality of the process and the resulting profiles. This seal regulates appearance and color tests, thickness measurements, sealing and impregnation control, resistance to abrasion, light fastness, acetic salt chamber and nitric acid immersion.

Aluminum is a material with excellent chemical and physical-mechanical properties. It is light, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.

Photoluminescent band

The Novopeldaño Lúmina band is a 0.35 mm polymer. thick with luminescent material that corresponds to class B according to UNE 23035-4 (2003). It is suitable for exteriors and interiors, it can be washed with water and neutral soap and it does not have appreciable phosphorus and lead content. Placed outdoors it does not blacken.

How much does Novopeldaño Lúmina shine?

Installation

1. Clean the surfaces to be joined to guarantee a perfect adhesion.
2. Extend abundant adhesive material of the type MS Sealant / Express Adhesive from Fischer or similar on the unseen face of the Novopeldaño.
3. Place the profile on the desired surface and press carefully.
4. Finally, let the adhesive dry and remove the protective film.

You can also use adhesive tapes for mounting or the like.

For correct operation, Novopeldaño Lúmina must be installed in areas with direct sunlight or in areas that are properly artificially lit. If you install the step in shady or poorly lit areas, its operation will not be adequate. Novopeldaño Lúmina needs an initial contribution of energy to emit it in the form of light.

Novopeldaño Lúmina can be placed with the photoluminescent band on the tread or on the riser. If the evacuation ladder is ascending, position the profile so that the photoluminescent strip illuminates the riser. If instead it is descending, place the band on the tread.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning should be done periodically with a soft cloth. If you choose to use a neutral cleaning liquid, it must be rinsed with cold water and dried to remove excess moisture. Stubborn soiling can be removed with suitable mildly abrasive cleaning agents. If you apply a preservative, in addition to leaving a thin layer of water repellent, keep in mind that it should not be yellow, attract dust or dirt, or have iridescent effects.

The use of steel wool, abrasive or pickling products, as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and perchloric), strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions is not recommended. Citric acid should also not be used as it dissolves the protective oxide layer on the aluminum surface. Waxes, petroleum jelly, lanolin or the like are not suitable. Haloalkane solvents (hydrofluoroethers or chlorinated solvents) and setting accelerators containing chlorides should be avoided (use non-chloride accelerators).
