Ecoglo® E3061 Gray Photoluminescent Contrast Strips, 2 inch | E30
Ecoglo® E3061 is the gray anti-slip model in the E30 Series of 2-inch-wide photoluminescent step-edge contrast strips. Designed for stairways that require durable luminous path markings, E3061 combines three ridged Ecoglo® photoluminescent strips with a larger, hard-wearing gray silicon-carbide anti-slip surface on a rigid aluminum base.
Gray Photoluminescent Stair Edge Contrast Strip for Safer Egress
Ecoglo® E3061 is designed for stairways where architects, contractors, estimators, property managers and facility operators require a durable combination of step-edge visibility, slip resistance and photoluminescent egress marking. Ecoglo identifies the 2-inch-wide E30 Series as particularly suited to stairs that are required by code to have luminous path markings.
In normal lighting, the gray silicon-carbide anti-slip surface provides strong visual definition alongside the photoluminescent leading-edge strips to help define the stair edge. The luminous material charges from natural or artificial light and remains visible after normal illumination is lost, providing passive guidance without electricity or batteries at the strip.
The rigid aluminum profile can be installed on suitable concrete, wood and metal stair surfaces using premium polyurethane adhesive. Mechanical fasteners are also an option for appropriate installations, but Ecoglo specifies that mechanical fasteners should not be used outdoors.
2-Inch E30 Profile
The E30 profile is approximately 2 inches (51.0 mm) wide and only 0.1 inches (1.8 mm) high, providing a low-profile but highly visible stair-edge marking.
Three Photoluminescent Strips
Three ridged photoluminescent strips provide luminous stair-edge definition while the protective ridge design helps resist abrasive wear and contributes slip resistance.
Gray Anti-Slip Surface
Compared with the narrower E20 format, the E30 Series provides a larger silicon-carbide anti-slip surface for durable traction and strong visual contrast.

How Ecoglo® E3061 Can Help Simplify Large-Project Specification
On commercial, government and institutional projects, clearly identifying the required stair-edge product during design and procurement can help reduce incorrect substitutions, missing documentation and avoidable field changes.
Identifying the exact manufacturer → series → model → color → technical data → installation creates a clearer documentation path from specification through installation.
1 Specify the Exact Model
Identify the product as Ecoglo® E3061 Gray, E30 Series rather than using only a generic description such as “photoluminescent stair strip.”
2 Confirm the Required Width
Confirm that the approximately 2-inch-wide E30 profile is appropriate for the architectural stair detail and project specification.
3 Include the Manufacturer Data Sheet
