ICE & SNOW MELTING CABLES

Ice & Snow melting Cables are used to keep the driveways & walkways snow free, ice-protected and safe. They are placed under concrete, asphalt or pavers to prevent the accumulation of ice and snow. The system can be connected to moisture and temperature sensing control for automated activation.


A heated driveway & walkway makes life simple and safe.



While a heated driveway & walkway may seem complicated process, but truly it is much easier than dealing with shoveling of snow on a cold winter morning.
The snow melting cables can be easily installed under pavers, asphalt, or concrete during driveway installation to ensure that a snow and ice-free surface will be maintained.
The dual high temperature PVC jacket provides adequate strength to the cable to be installed under the roads and side walks.
A Careco electric heated driveway & walkway system wired to an automated control is designed to be installed and virtually forgotten!

General Installation Guidelines:

The following general installation guidelines must be observed while installing the Careco Ice & Snow Melting Heating Cables:

  • Clean the area below the heating cable so that it is free from sharp objects. It is extremely important to keep heavy equipment, machinery, vehicles, shovels and rakes away from the cable to prevent damage.
  • Lay down the binder/base coat of asphalt and roller it smooth.

  • Fix the cable on the prepared surface by using the metal fixing strips or the network of re-enforced bars.
  • When pouring asphalt DIRECTLY on the cable, let it cool to 110 ˚C and below.
  • Do not cut the cable.
  • For further installation details, do contact our trained supervisors.


(Note: test the cables to ensure they have not been damaged and record the readings).

Advantages:

Higher Heating output of Heating Cables make them best suited product for giving a primary comfort heating solution for very cold areas as well.
Helps increase safety and convenience all while saving time on a cold winter morning
