INTRODUCING DEKGLO – NEW FROM ECODEK Edges of steps, decking and balustrades can be highlighted to provide a safe outdoor area all year round. It is the perfect solution for outdoor living, providing illumination without ongoing energy costs damage to the environment. DekGlo is an innovative form of lighting for the decking market, charging in daylight and glowing throughout the night. This new long lasting glow-in-dark lighting solution is designed to improve the safety and aesthetics for outdoor living and public realm spaces. Recycled glass beads are encapsulated within a photoluminescent polymer (glow in the dark) to maximise the solar charging rates and allowing the absorption and transmission of light depending on the levels of ambient darkness. DekGlo is easy to install by simply sticking or screwing into the decking or drilling a recess so that the DekGlo discs lie flush with the surrounding surface. No wiring or batteries are required, saving on installation time and the ongoing energy expense. Guaranteed for 20 years, there is no ongoing maintenance issues giving peace of mind to the end-user. The incredible versatility of the DekGlo material means that the discs or strips can be installed absolutely anywhere, horizontally or vertically with no loss in performance. Coating the recycled glass with photoluminescent polymer using patented technology maximises glow brightness and after-glow but at the same time minimises cost. DekGlo incorporates the coated glass throughout its depth ensuring a minimum 20 year glow guarantee is achieved undergoing unlimited glow cycles. Its resistance to UV degradation ensures it maintains its aesthetic qualities by day and by night.
