Ecoglo® Carpet Stair Nosing C4B Series
C4B CARPET STAIR NOSINGS
The C4B Series is a right-angled aluminum step-nosing designed to fit the edge of carpeted steps in public stairways, exit ways and all other applications where pathfinding in darkness is an issue. Carpet should be removed from the step edge, which is a simple process. This makes the nosing independent of the carpet, allowing the carpet to be easily changed without removing the nosing.
The Ecoglo® C4B Series is designed to be visible for a long period of time after the lights go out to enhance the orderly movement of people. Working just as well in the light as it does in the dark, the step nosing is designed to reduce falls and enhance egress speed in all egress situations.
