Building safety is a key concern for property owners, landlords, contractors and facilities teams across New York City. In residential, commercial and mixed-use buildings, occupants need clear guidance during a power outage, fire alarm, evacuation or low-light emergency.
Stairwells, corridors, landings, handrails, doorways and exit routes should be easy to identify when normal lighting is reduced. Heskins LLC supplies glow in the dark egress marking tape, photoluminescent floor signs, directional arrows, anti-slip tape and stair treads designed to improve visibility in these critical areas.
Why Glow in the Dark Egress Marking Matters
Glow in the dark and photoluminescent materials absorb light from their surroundings and emit a visible glow when the area becomes dark. This makes them useful for emergency route marking, particularly in stairwells, corridors and exit paths.
In an emergency, visibility can change quickly. Lighting may fail, smoke may reduce clarity or people may need to move through unfamiliar areas under pressure. Clear glow in the dark markings can help occupants identify the safest route and support more organized movement through a building.
For building managers, egress marking tape offers a practical way to improve emergency visibility without relying only on powered lighting.
Supporting Safer Homes and Local Law 26-Related Projects
For New York City buildings, improving emergency visibility can also form part of a wider safety and compliance strategy. Local Law 26 helped increase focus on photoluminescent egress path markings in certain buildings, particularly where clear exit route identification is required.
Heskins LLC supplies photoluminescent egress marking products that can support Local Law 26-related projects when correctly selected, specified and installed. Final compliance depends on the building type, applicable requirements and installation details, so property owners should confirm exact obligations with a qualified compliance professional.
Used correctly, glow in the dark egress tape can help make homes, apartment buildings and shared residential spaces safer, clearer and easier to navigate in low-light conditions.
Where Can Glow in the Dark Egress Tape Be Used?
Heskins LLC glow in the dark and egress marking products can be used in areas such as:

- Door frames and exit doors
- Handrails and landings

Choosing the Right Product
The right egress marking product depends on the building layout, surface type and safety objective. Before selecting a product, consider whether the area is a stairwell, corridor, doorway, landing or walkway. It is also important to assess whether anti-slip performance is needed, how much light exposure the material will receive and whether the project relates to Local Law 26 requirements.
