Many residents in cold climate regions throughout the U.S. have turned to clean radiant heat as a means of keeping driveways and walks free of snow and ice. Business owners are particularly fond of snow melting systems because of their automated operation and round-the-clock reliability. The systems operate only when needed, but keep parking areas and pedestrian walkways clear for their customers.
Warmzone® snow melting systems are designed to efficiently provide automated snow melting for a variety of applications, including heated driveways, bridges, sidewalks, ramps, loading docks, and more. Because electric snow melting systems can be easily customized, the options are virtually limitless for customers. Outdoor steps can be particularly hazardous during the winter months, but radiant heat can even be installed to keep steps free of snow and ice. Snow melting heat cable can be installed in all the popular mediums, including concrete, asphalt, and pavers to ensure there is no snow buildup, thereby reducing or preventing slip-and-fall accidents.
ClearZone™ cable is a proven heat cable that sets the standard for today’s radiant snow melting systems. The electric snowmelt cable is rugged and versatile, capable of being used for a wide range of snow melting applications. A tough, specially designed version of the heat cable is also available for installation in hot asphalt applications. The twin-conductor ClearZone heat cable features single-point connection and a copper metal sheath with fluoropolymer conductor insulation and polyolefin outer sheath. ClearZone cable carries a 10-year warranty.
The snow melting heat cable is available in individual lengths or pre-spaced in mats for quick and easy installation. Mats with cable spacing of 3 and 4 inches are available; and mats with custom cable spacing can also be provided upon request. Proper spacing of the cable during installation is crucial, and having the cable pre-spaced in mats helps, not only helps to facilitate quick and easy installation, but ensures the correct spacing for the system. The electric heating mats are laid out over the area to be heated and then secured to the remesh with zip ties (for concrete applications). The concrete can then be poured over the cable.
Warmzone complements its industry-leading product offering with unmatched customer services. Each driveway heating system is professionally designed to provide a clear installation "road map" for installers. The layout shows the exact position of the cable, components, and connections. These detailed system designs also include all the electrical information necessary for the electrician. You’ll know all the power needs, system details and specs, such as the proper load calculations, breaker sizes, number of breakers, etc., prior to any installation taking place.
Other valuable services include the free installation training and technical support for installers. We know that the key to radiant heat systems is their proper installation. Despite having the best components in the industry, if the system is not installed correctly, its performance will suffer. The installation training covers all aspects of your project to help ensure the system is installed properly, and performing as expected so that the customer is satisfied.
