Glow-in-the-Dark Escape Route Matting – 10mm Photoluminescent PVC, R11 Slip Rated | 10m Rolls
Price shown updates with the option you pick.
Slip-resistant open-grid matting with a glow-in-the-dark band down the centre. It marks the way out along walkways and plant rooms if the lights fail.
This is a 10mm black open-grid PVC mat with a photoluminescent band running the full length of the roll. In normal light, the band charges from the building's lighting. If the power fails, it glows yellow-green and traces a clear line along the floor to the exit, just where people's eyes go when they are looking for their footing.
The rest of the mat is a working floor. It carries a certified R11 slip rating, drains spills through its open two-layer grid (V10), and is flexible enough to follow uneven surfaces such as grating and checker plate. It comes in 10m rolls, 0.6m or 0.91m wide, and you can cut it to fit on site.
GLOWS WHEN THE LIGHTS FAIL
The photoluminescent centre band charges under normal lighting and glows in the dark. No wiring and no power needed.
R11 GRIP, V10 DRAINAGE
It is certified to DIN 51130 R11. The open-grid construction lets water and spills drain through, away from the walking surface.
LAYS OVER UNEVEN FLOORS
Flexible PVC follows grating, checker plate and uneven concrete. It is loose-laid, and cuts to length on site.
WHICH WIDTH, AND HOW MANY ROLLS?
| 0.6m × 10m roll | Covers 6 m² and weighs about 27 kg. For single-file escape routes, gangways and service corridors. |

EDGING, JOINING & FIXING
This mat is 10mm, so use the 10mm parts from our matting accessories: 10mm × 50mm PVC ramp edging for exposed edges, 10.5mm snap track for permanent joints, or connector clips for joints you can lift again.
INSTALLATION & CLEANING
Unroll it and let it relax flat, then cut it to length with a sharp knife, keeping the glowing band on the line of the route. It is loose-laid and follows the floor. Make sure the route gets normal lighting so the band stays charged. To clean, lift or roll it up, then hose or pressure-wash it and let it drain. No special cleaning tools are needed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does it need power?
No. The photoluminescent band charges from normal lighting and glows by itself when the lights go out.
Does it replace emergency lighting or exit signs?
No. It is an extra way-finding aid at floor level, not a replacement for emergency lighting or signage. Check your fire risk assessment for what your building needs.
How is it different from your anti-fatigue open-rib matting?
It is the same kind of 10mm open-grid workplace mat, but with the glowing escape-route band built in. Choose this one where a walkway is also an escape route.
Is it slip resistant when wet?
Yes. It is certified R11 under DIN 51130, and the open grid drains spills away from the walking surface.
Can I lay it over grating or checker plate?
Yes. The flexible PVC follows uneven surfaces like grating and checker plate.
