Keeping driveways and ramps free of ice

Keeping driveways and ramps free of ice
Image: DEVI

In alpine and elevated areas, ice on driveways, ramps and steps is a safety risk. Heating cables embedded in the surface keep them clear.

How it works

Cable is laid in concrete, asphalt or sand under pavers, at a spacing set by the local climate. Output is much higher than indoor systems because it has to melt snow in the open air.

Controls do the saving

An outdoor system should never run on a simple timer. Ground sensors detect both low temperature and moisture, so the system only runs when ice can actually form.

  • Driveways and garage ramps
  • Stairs, paths and building entrances
  • Loading docks and car park ramps
Plan early. The cable goes in before the surface is poured or laid. Talk to us at design stage so the supply cabling and controls are allowed for.
