Concrete Surface
Our outdoor heating systems offer effective snowmelt solutions for driveways, walkways, outdoor staircases, patios, and roads.
We believe it is crucial to have our team of professional radiant engineers install these systems to ensure functionality and trouble-free operation for years to come.
For single-pour application, the element is installed and secured with zip ties on top of the wire mesh supplied and installed by the concrete contractor onsite.
A minimum of 5” – 6” concrete pour is required for installation of radiant snowmelt element of which the element is then raised during the pour to a height of 3” ensuring a maximum of 3” for the top and bottom of the pour.
A bi-directional grid is used for retrofitting concrete surfaces like concrete staircases, and walkways for blue stone surface applications.
Asphalt Surface
The surface preparation and binder coat should be installed by the asphalt contractor, once the skim layer is applied the snowmelt element is installed directly on top of this surface.
An additional first 3” asphalt layer is then applied onto the snowmelt element whereafter a second 3” layer is applied resulting in a 6” layer from the base to finish.
This will ensure the snowmelt element is then sandwiched at 3” depth complying with UL requirements.
Pavers
The installation requires a wire mesh to be installed on top of the compacted base for stability. The snowmelt element is then zip-tied to the wire mesh to ensure the cable doesn’t move during the sand and paver brick installation.
Maximum paver brick or bluestone thickness should not exceed 2.5”. The maximum sand or cement application should not exceed 1” – 1.5” to ensure element durability and effectiveness.
Snow Melting Systems
At Switched on Radiant our outdoor snowmelt systems will ensure a hassle-free winter experience. Gone are the days of snowplowing or shoveling your walkway or driveway.
