M4161.10 Gray Photoluminescent Tile Nosing, 8 FT | Ecoglo® M4.10-E30 Series
Ecoglo® M4161.10 is the gray anti-slip model in the M4.10-E30 photoluminescent tile stair-nosing series. Designed for tiled stair installations using tile approximately 3/16" to 11/32" thick (5 mm to 8.5 mm), it combines photoluminescent stair-edge visibility, anodized aluminum construction and hard-wearing gray silicon-carbide slip resistance.
Gray Photoluminescent Tile Stair Nosing for Commercial & Government Projects
Ecoglo® M4161.10 is designed for specification-driven tiled stair installations where architects, general contractors, government contractors and facility owners require durable stair-edge definition, slip resistance and passive photoluminescent visibility.
The M4161.10 is part of a purpose-designed anodized-aluminum tile stair nosing system. The photoluminescent material clearly defines the leading edge of the stair, while the gray silicon-carbide surface provides hard-wearing traction and architectural contrast.
The photoluminescent material absorbs energy from suitable ambient illumination and releases that stored energy as visible light when normal illumination is reduced. No electrical connection is required at the stair nosing itself.
Engineered for Tile
The M4.10 profile is designed for tiled stairs using tile approximately 3/16"–11/32", or 5–8.5 mm, thick.
Gray Silicon-Carbide Anti-Slip
M4161.10 uses hard-wearing gray silicon-carbide non-slip material integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate.
Passive Emergency Visibility
Photoluminescent technology helps maintain visible stair-edge definition when normal illumination is reduced.

Engineered for High-Traffic Commercial & Institutional Stairways
Ecoglo® designed the M4.10-E30 profile for demanding tiled stair environments where pedestrian traffic, abrasion, cleaning and long-term stair-edge visibility are important.
- Raised ridges help protect the photoluminescent strips from abrasive wear.
- The ridged photoluminescent surface contributes additional slip resistance while remaining cleanable.
- Hard-wearing silicon-carbide non-slip material is integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate.
- The anodized finish helps resist corrosion and abrasive wear.
- Manufacturer information references accelerated UV and weathering testing.
- Ecoglo® reports less than visually detectable performance loss following 6,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure.
- The product is aluminum based and recyclable.
- No electrical energy is required at the stair nosing itself.
How Ecoglo® M4161.10 Can Help Reduce Avoidable Inspection Delays
For large commercial, government and institutional projects, incorrect stair-nosing selection, incompatible tile profiles, missing documentation or installations that differ from approved project documents can contribute to RFIs, deficiencies, rework and delayed close-out.
Ecoglo® M4161.10 gives the project team a traceable manufacturer → series → model → technical data → approved detail → installation workflow that can make product verification easier.
1 Specify the Exact Model
Identify the product as Ecoglo® M4161.10 Gray, M4.10-E30 Series rather than only using a generic description such as “photoluminescent stair nosing.”
2 Verify Tile Thickness Before Ordering
Confirm that the finished tile thickness falls within the manufacturer’s published M4.10 range of approximately 5 mm to 8.5 mm.
3 Include the Manufacturer Data Sheet
Provide the M4.10-E30 technical data before installation so the exact product, dimensions, materials and applicable listing information can be reviewed.
4 Resolve Code Requirements Early
Where photoluminescent or luminous egress requirements apply, coordinate the product with the architect, code consultant and reviewing authority before tiled stairs are completed.
5 Match the Approved Detail
Confirm product orientation, tile interface, gray insert placement and stair-edge location against approved project documents and current manufacturer instructions.
6 Keep Documentation Ready for Final Review
Retain the approved product submittal, M4161.10 model number and technical documentation so consultants and inspectors can readily identify the installed system.

U.S. Luminous Egress Path Marking Considerations
For U.S. projects, architects, code consultants and contractors should confirm the locally adopted building and fire codes and determine whether luminous egress path marking requirements apply to the specific building.
2024 IBC Section 1025 — Luminous Egress Path Markings
The International Building Code addresses approved luminous egress path markings in specified high-rise occupancies, including applicable interior exit stairways, exit ramps and exit passageways.
IBC Section 1025.2.1 — Stair Steps
For applicable stairs, the IBC addresses luminous markings at the horizontal leading edge of stair steps.
IBC Section 1025.4 — Photoluminescent Materials
The IBC recognizes applicable photoluminescent and self-luminous materials complying with UL 1994 or ASTM E2072.
IBC Section 1025.5 — Charging Illumination
The IBC also addresses illumination used to charge applicable photoluminescent egress-path markings.
Important: Applicability depends on occupancy, building height, locally adopted code, amendments and project-specific conditions. Final acceptance is determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
