M4171.10 Black Photoluminescent Tile Nosing | Ecoglo® M4.10-E30 Series
Ecoglo® M4171.10 is the black anti-slip model in the M4.10-E30 photoluminescent tile stair-nosing series. It is engineered for tiled stair installations using tile approximately 3/16" to 11/32" thick (5 mm to 8.5 mm) and combines photoluminescent stair-edge visibility, anodized aluminum construction and hard-wearing black silicon-carbide slip resistance.
Photoluminescent Tile Stair Nosing for Commercial & Government Projects
Ecoglo® M4171.10 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 M4171.10 is part of a purpose-designed anodized-aluminum tile-nosing system rather than a temporary field-applied marking. Its photoluminescent material identifies the leading edge while the black silicon-carbide surface provides durable traction and visual 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.
Black Silicon-Carbide Anti-Slip
M4171.10 uses hard-wearing black silicon-carbide non-slip material integrally bonded to the aluminum substrate.
Passive Emergency Visibility
Photoluminescent technology helps maintain visible stair-edge definition when normal lighting conditions are 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.
- Hard-wearing silicon-carbide 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® M4171.10 Can Help Reduce Avoidable Inspection Delays
Incorrect products, incompatible tile profiles, missing documentation or installations that differ from approved project documents can contribute to RFIs, deficiencies, rework and delayed project close-out.
Ecoglo® M4171.10 gives the project team a clear manufacturer → series → model → technical data → approved detail → installation path that can simplify verification.
1Specify the Exact Model
Identify the product as Ecoglo® M4171.10 Black, M4.10-E30 Series rather than only “photoluminescent stair nosing.”
2Verify Tile Thickness
Confirm that finished tile thickness falls within the published M4.10 range of approximately 5–8.5 mm.
3Submit Manufacturer Documentation
Include the M4.10-E30 technical data before installation so the exact model, dimensions, materials and listing information can be reviewed.
4Resolve Code Requirements Early
Coordinate applicable photoluminescent or luminous egress requirements with the architect, code consultant and reviewing authority before tiled stairs are completed.
5Match the Approved Detail
Confirm tile interface, insert placement, stair-edge position and installation against approved project documents.
6Keep Documentation for Inspection
Retain the approved product submittal and model documentation so the installed product can be identified during final review.
